Well, we managed to drag ourselves out to see the new Matrix film this evening even if we didn't feel the brightest of sparks - but it was worth it in the end. Despite reading enough "this sucks" comments to deflate anyone's expectations, it was nice to find out that I completely disagreed with them.
I found The Matrix Reloaded to be every bit as enjoyable as it is ludicrous, which is quite a lot. The beginning drags a bit, especially the Zion scenes (I remember thinking, "Can't we get to the kung-fu already?") but soon the proper action kicks in and it's a non-stop ride from thereonin.
We stayed till the Revolutions trailer, which whilst in retrospect probably wasn't worth it, I'd have been annoyed if I'd missed it.
So on the whole, it gets a big popcorn-movie thumbs-up from me. ;-)
