I can't wait to see it for the special effects. The first one was great, with new innovative effects that have been copied countless times since. The story was okay, but could have been so much better. Who cares about the love story between Neo and Trinity anyway. I know this is made to attract women in sci-fi movies, but it was so out of place. Anyway, I think the second one will be quite a nice viewing, even if just for the effects.

Neo, the new prophet, gets brought back to life after a kiss from Trinity. This is not romanticism, this is required by the first level metaphor. Why didn't Switch get hot for Neo ? Nope. Trinity, it has to be. And she does not make a bold move on him or grabs his butts, she waits for his death to "prove her love". And it is not "love" but "I will bring you to life because I love you", "giving life to the true self" is what she does. She doens't just want a piece of his material ass...
At the end of the movie, after his resurrection by the kiss of the Trinity, he ascends to the sky. There is one religious metaphor a minute in that movie.
That was immensely clever of them to have hiden the bottom line metaphor within a religious one. It is probably what allowed them to sneak under the radar of censorship.
But there is more, much more.
