finally allowed myself to see matrix sequel last night...waayyy too long...i don't see a reason for an action movie over 90 min...my edit...the swarming smiths sequence...shortened to 3 min...the architech's speech...shortened to 2 min...the french guy's speech...cut...the fight on the marble stairs...shortened to 2 min... I'm down with the philisophical side of the movie, but they laid it on thick...like they were afraid people wouldn't get it...berevity...is more powerful than lonf windedness.
