Summary: to be continued? what the fu*k!
Review: this is ridiculous. It is ok to make an mysterious ending, but it is not ok to make a movie "to be continued".

Summary: The Matrix Still Has You!
Review: Ok, we all know this is a visual masterpiece so let's just get to the real point. The Matrix Reloaded has it's pros and cons just like every film. The pros would be the visuals. The cons would probably be the way the story is being handled. Although this movie isn't just garbage like everyone suddenly started saying, it is flawed by unbalanced storytelling. Such as, why are they putting so much focus on Neo and Trinity and ignoring Naomi and Ghost. The Wichowski Bros. seemed to be convinced that the only fan base for the Matrix was teenagers and gamers. They didn't seem to realize the huge fan base for the serise. Having a whole storyline just pulled out and placed in a (what I consider) a pretty mediocore game is not the best idea. And what was with the lack of promotion for The Animatrix? That tied in to the story too and they treated it just like they treat every other anime with a small release. However after all this you're probably wondering why I gave this four stars instead of maybe 2. Me being the hardcore gamer/ anime fan. I had no problem following the story by watching the anime and playing the game. I just wonder how they expected this to succeed without promoting the entire story.

Summary: Good for TV movie
Review: Pretty average, good for TV. After the first Matrix, it's hard to follow up. The continuing storyline is marginally interesting. It's very incomplete as a whole.

Summary: A sequel
Review: We all know that this is not as good as th first but it is still really good.Neo(Kenu Reeves) is stating to understand his role as the one even when the orcle herself said he is not.Anyway,
the Machines are planning to dig down to the last human city, Zion. To undrstand the story completely, you need to play Enter the marix, Wacth the first one, and wacth animatrix. you have to do alot of things before you wacth this, that is if you wan't to know the movie completely. Overall this was a good movie, much,
much,much better then the horrible third film but still, the first is the best!

Summary: Still a visual triumph!!
Review: Given the fact that the movie had the dialogue of a bad Shakespeare play, the film still works as a visual treat. I just don't like the screenplay. The movie takes itself too seriously. Despite it's short comings, the special effects are just incredible and is still worth the price!!

Summary: Terrible philosophy...
Review: Matrix Reloaded was packed full of action, suspense, and incredible fight scenes. However, the mere brute force of this movie was not enough to save it from being a philosophical letdown from the Watchowski brothers. The entire "cause and effect" idea expressed by our French friend was nothing remotely surprising or interesting and only leaves the viewer waiting for a more in depth idea that never surfaces. Not to mention any usage of philosophical dialogue is totally ruined by a blatent explanation directly following, but hey, he "drank zee wine" and now he "must piss." Is Reloaded worth having in a movie library? Yes. Does that necessarily mean that it was a successful continuation of an incredible plot and idea? No. On the plus side, the action scenes are incredible.

Summary: A++ Movie: Artistically Delightful
Review: Matrix Reloaded is an exceptional film for people who appreciate the art of the moving image. The director deserves high praise for being able to show this film with incredible angles, special effects, and scenes that have never been created before (i.e., the freeway speed chase).PHILOSOPHY. The philosophy of The Matrix is that we are connected to a web, a maze of interconnected fibers within the world that pre-determine what actions we will take within the future. There is no reason to stop an event from happening; once it is meant to happen, it will happen. As one scene mentioned quite thoughtfully, there is no point in stopping an event from happening, but you can try to develop a sense of meaning as to why it happened. Meaning is far more important than trying to change human events. The issue of predetermination has been debated for many, many years, but few films try to understand the issue with as much depth as this one does. At the same time, The Matrix questions existance itself -- as there are parallel "existances" -- and reality is a questionable and temporary part of the universe. Then, a word on the freeway chase: I have never seen a freeway chase presented with such close angles on the scenes themselves. It was absolutely stunning and quite interesting for the mind to take in. When watching this film, you get the sense that your mind is embarking on a grand experiment -- one in which you are to notice the artistic renditions, which are pleasing to the mind; to understand the philosophical overtones of the movie, and yet, still, enjoy the plot as it unfolds. Certainly ought to qualify for a movie of the year in 2003. Look forward to seeing Matrix Revolutions. Michael Gordon

Summary: Disappointing
Review: In a word, I found The Matrix Reloaded to be a disappointment. I suppose you could make the argument that it is unfair to review this movie independent of the 3rd movie in this trilogy, since the point of this movie seems to be to set-up the finality in the 3rd movie. But other than serving that purpose and providing a few entertaining special effects and a revelation or two that are unexpected, overall this movie was a big let down for me. Other than a couple of interesting scenes and special effects, the majority of the movie was dull and difficult to sit through. A lot of people that saw this movie raved about the car chase that occurs at the end of the film, but I was not impressed by it. Particularly annoying are the love scenes between Neo and Trinity. Their blooming and destined love for one another was not as sappy in the first film, but in this movie it borders on being as sappy as some old Hallmark card. Why does Hollywood feel the need to continually bombard us with these absurd images of romantic love? "Now we are even," says Trinity. I'm quite certain that the movie could have done without that trifle remark or the entire scene for that matter. What was the need for that entire scene anyway? Love conquers all else, even logic? Please! What was so great about the first film was its originality - original concept, original camera work, the twists and turns of the plot. This film had none of that. If the meaning of this film was to explain part of the first one and set us up for the last one, then how about just dividing this film in half. Tack half of it onto the first film and tack the rest of it onto the 3rd film. But then again, the real purpose of this film was to get a few more million bucks out of the public. At least that was a success.

Summary: Awful
Review: Six months after the original Matrix, Neo (Keanu Reeves)begins to have nightmares about Trinity(Carrie-Anne Moss)plunging to her death. Meanwhile, the rebels have returned to the city of Zion to learn that 250,000 sentinels are digging towards them in order to seek Zion and wipe out the human resistance. The Oracle gives Neo instructions to find the keymaker and seek out the source. If Neo fails the mission, the rebellion will be crushed and the machines will win the war.
I've seen some bad movies, but this one was terrible.
