Yes, it was boring. I didn't leave the theatre, but I expected more, given what the first movie was. The first movie was a very well-balanced counterpoint, a good composition, and a bold new aesthetic. Granted, I knew it would be impossible to be as 'new' as the first one was, but I still expected a decent organization, a top-notch set of aesthetic choices, and a handful of clever, inventive moments. This movie had none of those. It seems as if they had hired any generic music video director to make a Matrix movie. It had none of the compositional restraint, elegance, or taste of the original --- the "art" of the original if I may be so oblique. This movie was joyless, prefunctory, bloated, and conventional --- everything the first one was not. So, verdict = stinky. There's a frame of reference for ya.
