Tikimonkey, Tikimama, and I went to see it and when we visited Zion, we did (amongst ourselves quietly in the back row so as not to annoy others) start to sing the Ewok song.

When the movie actually started (right after Neo visists the Oracle) It started to get good.

I like it, though the plot sits in a too complex for shallow people, to simple for complex thinkers sort of spot that just feels.... Amatuerish? Naieve? Don't know the right word for it. The first movie for me avoided this by being vague and open. This movie however (by its excessive IMHO exposition) exaggerated the armchair philosophy that I find interesting and at the same time boorish.

i.e. Hey, man what if your blue isn't my blue, man?

Cool, I loved it, but it was a guilty pleasure.

I do love guilty pleasures.

good movie.
