The Matrix Reloaded re-evaluated... Nope, still think it's probably the weakest piece of the franchise. Just a MacGuffin race that goes like this: We need this. Extended action scene to get to it. Character gives an extended philosophical speech that boils down to... We now need this. Repeat. I watched it with podcasting mate Elyse and she boiled it down to this: It's Waking Life with action set pieces in between each conversation. Yep. That's it. And it might have worked if everything weren't sooooo overdone. Every action scene takes too long. Every discussion takes too long. The rave in Zion, too long. Running through corridors, why is this taking so long? If the philosophy is supposed to make us think, it never lets us because we immediately have to sit through loud extended action. It's all so tedious. Even the world-building pushes the limits of my patience. Show Zion, yes, of course. Create an entire culture of rogue programs inside the Matrix? And they're ghosts and vampires and stuff? Enough already, that's too much to digest in one go. Oh and let's tie into alternative media by introducing characters from the video game and Animatrix that really don't bring a whole lot to the story here. Gooey CG is the least of the middle movie's problems even if that's what a lot of commentators at the time got stuck on. For me, today, it's how Neo and Trinity have absolutely no chemistry. There's a lot of cool stuff in Reloaded, don't get me wrong, but it's choking on padding to the point of frustration.Siskoid
In trying to make the Matrix a multi-media experience, Reloaded comes off as incomplete (you need other sources to fill in the blanks), so it's all effects and action, and the big ideas are rushed and opaque. Still, that highway sequence is great.DangerDinosaur
There's some great scenes in this movie. It doesn't quite gel together but I think it's unfairly criticised.Earring72
Dissapointing sequel, besides a great carchase is just boring and full of side characters and a story that makes no sensecorchap
Well choreographed fight sequences and some interesting lines on choice and control. Other than that, this film flopped for me.aryem
The did a good job in terms of sound editing in this movie, let's admit it.IreneAdler
Good film. Completely different, not like the first one at all... but good nevertheless. Nice action and special effects.Dennisvaniersel
It begins pretty ok, with al the Zion stuff. But then there was the big tribal/dance party. Like a soft porn film.. That´s were it all went down hill.Dieguito
This is no Matrix, sorryThief
Worst than the first one, and I didn't like that one that much. The final scene at the highway was cool, but that's about it.Aeon Rio
I liked it better than the first one. The Matrix (1999) was pretty basic. I feel like this one has more plot depth as a lot of information was revealed.stexdo
Not very good dialogue nor acting, but great directing. The lighting is nearly perfect. The style of the movie appears now to have been highly influential for sci-fi movies that followed it.SalumoN
You mean "worse" than the first one, learn English before commenting :-).
