Boy, are we glad we took the red pill, because the second Matrix movie is one of those rare sequels that's bigger and better than the first. Here, the good guys--Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and, whoa, Neo (Keanu Reeves)--plug in again to rescue the Keymaker (Randall Duk Kim), who they believe can help end the war between men and machines. Of course, it's never that simple. But it sure is one hell of a wild ride, often against traffic. In fact, everything here is cranked up to 11, with the most eye-popping kung-fu fighting and stunts since the first Matrix (yes, the freeway chase scene is some jaw-dropping stuff). Hard-core fans will dig the mental overload and philosophical discourse. Others might get a tad confused (or won't care), but just wait until Reeves fights 100 bad-guy clones at once, 'cuz that's just cool.
