Summary: Hint: It's the second installment of three
Review: If you like chase scenes, then you MUST have this movie.The creators of "Gone In 60 Seconds" must be awestruck by this flick.
Unfortunately, this movie doesn't cause you to ponder the possibilities of our existence like "The Matrix" did. In the first Matrix, Morpheous asks, "What IS real?" And, the viewer thought about that question for quite some time after leaving the theater. There is no such thought-provocative material in "Reloaded." But, this is not to suggest you won't be entertained by "Reloaded" - you most certainly WILL be entertained.
It's excellent for its FX; plenty of eye candy; and it will leave you anticipating the third and final installment in the series.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Reloaded - the best out of all three!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The 2nd matrix(reloaded)in my opinoin was the best matrix out of all three of them! Why? Well, it was a movie that really told you what the matirx was all about. You find out about how the maxtrix really worked! And you realize that the proficy was all a lie. the ploit and everything was all perfect! Everything made scence and help me out alot!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You are all crazy!
Review: Come On! Reloaded was even better than the first! Anyway, even if it isn't good (but it is), this was only a 'filler' movie, trying to bridge the gap between #1 and #3. Any two-year old could see that. Plus, you get to see Trinity naked!

Summary: A step backwards
Review: I first bought a DVD player years ago, right when the first Matrix film hit DVD. The Matrix DVD at the time set the standard for DVDs in the way of extras and quality. A real 5 star release. The DVD had a nice set of extras such as a feature on bullet time and a good commentary track. Sadly Reloaded is a huge step backwards from that wonderful first film's DVD.

The extras on Reloaded are minimal to say the least. There is no commentary track at all. I've heard that there will be a boxed set deluxe edition somewhere down the line for all 3 Matrix films and that is why there is almost nothing on this release. If that is the case then shame on the makers of this film for putting nothing on this disc simply to try and force us to buy all 3 films on DVD a second time. Yeah, LOTR did it as well to some extent but at least folks who bought the first release of those got some good extras included on the first release.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A sequel to a film that never was intended to have one
Review: The subtlety of The Matrix is left behind in the first film and replaced in this sequel by kitschy tributes to B-movie standards like werewolves and the the most expensive Cadillac commercial ever made. 'Reloaded' has its moments, but unfortunately this sequel needed about 112 more moments to make this movie worthwhile.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: If zero stars were possible!
Review: I have to admire the writers of Matrix Reloaded. They actually managed to create a film that has absolutely no plot whatsoever. I've seen infomercials and music videos with more substance than this. Now keep in mind, I like cheesy sci-fi movies as long as they are somewhat entertaining and clever. What we have here is a movie written on the back of a cocktail napkin. Just some of the problems...

1. Never take your arch villain and replicate him hundreds of times (Agent Smith). Not only is it silly and pointless, it takes away any menacing characteristics this villain may have had.
2. Never endow your hero with superman-like powers. If he can do anything, it takes away any suspense.
3. Never intentionally obscure your plot with psycho-babble and cryptic references.
4. Never make an excellent sci-fi movie and then follow it up with a peice of garbage like this. People will no longer think you were brilliant, they will just think you got lucky.

I cannot even begin to emphasize how bad this movie actually was. The more I think about it, the worse it seems. Because of this, I avoided "Revolutions" altogether and I won't even go near the DVD.

Rent "Equilibrium" instead. It is much, much better.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WYLD STALYUNS RULE!!!
Review: First, I take issue with the "plot" of this movie. Every time Keanu encounters a problem, the "writers" decide to suddenly and inexplicably imbue him with new superpowers. One of these powers is not, apparently, the ability to act his way out of a damp paper sack. Keanu's role in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" remains his only believeable performance to date.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Avoid Comparing Matrix to Reloaded....
Review: As many of the DVDs now are produced, Reloaded has gorgeous film- to- DVD transfer for both video and audio quality. Make sure your speakers are strong, or you may blow them out! And if they are great, don't crank it so loud that the neighbors can hear it as well.

I too felt let down by the movie's plot. Many special effects seemed made simply to blow stuff up. And the relationship between Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie Anne Moss) didn't seem believable. Yet I found myself watching Reloaded several times. Seems I like to pick it up when I need some adrenaline kicks inside, and some of the scenes truly deliver. Maybe the producers got too greedy.... Reloaded, however, didn't seem like a waste of effort and film when I started looking at it as a film on its own merits. I stepped away from my first Matrix DVD, not watching it for a while so I could make a better attempt at not moving towards comparing the two. When I did, I enjoyed Reloaded more. It's decent, but not a really nice movie, which is why I stopped short of giving it 4 stars.
