Yes, well, Utwig basically already said what I meant to say.
I'm definitely judging the book by its cover here, but seeing that the trailer includes All Your Favorite Characters From Part One Plus Extra Added Bonus Baddies™ I won't get my hopes up. Especially considering that I thought the first film already was ridiculous in some parts, namely the "Rooftop Rescue" and "My name is Neo" scenes.
But the first film was also surprisingly atmospheric at times, and even had some attempts at awaking thoughts. So, now when success is guaranteed (it has the Matrix name, after all) I guess I was hoping to see a dark, atmospheric and more "philosophical" sequel with the occasional well-timed action scene. Unless that trailer only depicts the first thirty minutes of the film, I don't think that is going to happen. I'm not saying that it couldn't be good entertainment for those enjoying Hong Kong action flicks and the kind, though.
ps. I know that the Brothers are perfectionists when it comes to stunts, camera angles and special effects. I don't know if they're that way about the plot...
