Summary: Waiting for Part III
Review: Great Movie with superb special effect. Love it!

Summary: Glad to see others see the truth
Review: I wish that amazon.com would allow me to use a negative number of stars, because this piece of garbage is not worthy of even one star. I have been told by many of my collegues that "this is the second of a trilogy and that you should expect that(???)"
All I can say is that during that "stunning" speech by Fishburns character and the "hot" orgy scene (OK I HOPE YOU HEAR MY SARCASM!) I was about to fall asleep.
If you could see a bubble above Keanu's head you could see it reading: OK, I MUST STAY IN CHARACTER, I MUST STAY IN CHARACTER! The directors of this "cinematic masterpiece" should have paid for acting lessons for the entire cast. It was like listening to bad Star Trek dialog. This is probably the WORST movie I have scene in at least 10 years. Am I missing something. Is it me. No. Anyone who has even a tiny amount of taste will not waste anymore money on this movie. The only way I will see the 3rd instalment is if the ticket is bought for me and I am taken out for multiple drinks before AND after the "show"

Summary: Decent bonus materials, but movie drags a bit
Review: This "middle act" of the Matrix trilogy has difficulty standing on its own. It lacks a compelling, driven storyline. And not much really happens in the first third - you just sit and bide your time until the pace picks up a bit. The playground fight with the multiple Agent Smiths runs too long. Had it been a little shorter and tighter it would have played better, I think. And Agent Smith seems less a threat to Neo and crew in this film but rather more of an inconvenience. Middle act films are just difficult anyway. We already know the basic premises and we know the heroes have the ability to win in a fight, so where is the real tension? Most importantly, where is the sense of awe and wonder that made the first film so fascinating? The DVD extras are okay though not quite spectacular. But by this point in time, consumers are expecting a bunch of DVD extras with movies like this one, so it never quite feels like an "event" purchase. And since DVD buyers are becoming more and more demanding about the type, volume, and quantity of bonus features we/they get with a Special Edition purchase, it will be increasingly difficult to find a movie release with features that stand out above the rest of the field. Case in point with "Matrix: Reloaded" -- it isn't that the DVD bonuses are a special treat, rather it is that we already EXPECT no less than this plethora of features. The movie by itself is okay but not as compelling as the first one. The bonus features are worth watching, too, but it really takes the combination of all these elements to merit the purchase.

Summary: Part 2 fails and succeeds at the same time
Review: The Matrix Reloaded neither satisfies expectations nor disappoints entirely; but after so much hype there isn't much more one could expect.
The Matrix was an exercise in high budget experimental sci-fi, and where it worked was in its willingness to use archetypal characters and put them in the context of a cutting edge action film. With revolutionary special effects and a very futuristic look, the Matrix also managed to engage the viewer in a very well written plot and creative vision. Unfortunately, the Matrix Reloaded builds more on the technological side, and the philosophical and esoteric undertones are lost amid useless scenes of show-off filming. Admittedly, this is impressive in some instances where the plot is moved along, such as the car chase and the scene featuring neo fighting against a multiplying horde of agents, but overall the film just LOOKS like something we'll be laughing about in 15 years.
And while the Matrix will still hold up due to its plot and character development, I'm still scratching my head as to what the Matrix Reloaded will mean to us.

Summary: What a great Sequel!!
Review: Fortunately I have the benefit of being a Computer professional and know that most of the general public might not quite understand most of what is going on as far as the storyline. This movie basically is able to display the computer world for everyone to see in visual way. I have heard mixed reviews from a lot of people I have talked to and have noticed that anyone who didn't like it usually didn't really understand what was going on in the movie. I was actually really blown away at how well this movie depicts the computer world, and not just on a very basic level. It delves into very complicated concepts in a simple and understandable way for most people to understand. I actually think that this sequel is as good if not better then the first. If you are an IT guy or someone who is interested in programming or systems, then you will thoroughly enjoy this movie. Even if you aren't a computer person, the special affects and characters will still be entertaining enough.

Summary: PU What a stink.
Review: After seeing the first movie, perhaps I sat down to enjoy this one with my expectations too high. Unfortunately, aside from some great slow-mo cgi effects, Reloaded was nothing more than a bridge between the first movie and whatever they come up with for the third. I couldn't believe the ending of this movie! As the words "to be continued" burned into the screen, I felt like I had been ripped off. This movie has no storyline; you reach the end and nothing has been resolved. I'm an avid movie watcher, and this is one of the few times I've actually found myself angry at the producers when the movie was over. Bottom line: skip this turkey and carefully consider whether you want to watch the next one. If the reviews aren't slam-dunk on the next Matrix movie, it won't be on a screen in my house. Thumbs down to Warner Brothers on this one.

Summary: An Awsome Comeback To the First Movie
Review: I've always thought the send one would have to be good to top the first one and it definatly does. The graphic effects and the proceeding storyline of neos increasing abilities. The fight scenes are just astounding, I dont know how they made it work really. I mean i have the dvd and they describe it but what an undertaking to make all those Smiths and make the camera get the full angle. WHile all of this production was going on they were making the game too! Now THAT is an awsome production team. Kickin music and fight scenes visual effect, if its still in theaters i'm going to see it again! I can't wait for revoultions :-D

Summary: Matrix Reloaded Enjoyable
Review: The only thing I found boring in the movie was the
fight seen between Neo and Agent Smith. That was a comical
farse. The fight sight was too loooong and boring. It was
almost ridiculus. All in all it was a nice continuation
of the movie. Can't wait fore the third installment. And
remember people, it's only a movie. Some of the criticism I
think was way overboard. It's got good action, nice special
effects, along with a decent storyline. COME on, loosen up.
It was not meant to be an academy award winner! If you're a
Matrix fan, then the DVD IS WORTH ADDING TO YOU COLLECTION. REMEMBER...you have a choice before viewing this movie.
YOU can Take the RED pill or the Blue pill. The choice is
up to you.

Summary: The best action movie ever!!
Review: I loved The Matrix, and i own it on DVD. So when The Matrix Reloaded comes out in theatres, i definitely had to see it. I kind of went with this "friend" of mine, and she was..let me just say i never saw much of the movie! But anyways, when it came out on DVD, i had to buy it. I did, and was amazed! I can't beleive i missed the giantic breathtaking fight between Neo and 100 Agent Smiths in the theatre!! But i did get to see it, and its like my absolute favorite fight ever. The camera angles are the best, and the moves and MUSIC are THE BEST EVER. The car chase part was also very well done, it reminded me of Bad Boys II. Nobody matches up to Agent Smith, he's the coolest and slyest villian ever. The dance/sex scene in Zion was kind of queer, though. I never expected that part, and it was not like the matrix.
But, as i watched the movie, it began to seem less and less like the matrix. The "orgy" part was like some kind of semi-porno movie, the neo/smith fight was like a Power Rangers fight, the freeway scene was like Bad Boys II, Morpheus's speech in Zion was like Braveheart, and Neo flying was like freakin' SUPERMAN! Although i must say it was pretty cool.
The DVD special features were great, especially the MTV Movie awards skit that featured Justin Timberlake as himself, Seann William Scott as Agent Smith/Scott and himself, Wanda (from "Wanda at Large") as the Oracle, Keanu Reeves as Neo, Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus and (drumroll please) WILL FERREL as the architect, who was HILARIOUS! The mini-movie also featured the Keymaker and this crazy hyper cat-in-the-hat guy in the dance at Zion, and i'm not sure who plays him.
But overall, The Matrix Reloaded is quite possibly the best action movie ever, along with Bad Boys II, Die Hard Trilogy, and the rest of em'. I can't wait for Revolutions, but some ***hole on this site, AMAZON, told EVERYONE that read the early reviews of the movie the ending!!! THE ENDING!!! WHY OH WHY OH WHY DID YOU SPOIL IT FOR US??? Now i sit here and pray he was just joking..just joking...woosah woosah...hahaha just a little Bad Boys II humour...i think i'm gonna shut up about Bad Boys II, but it is an awesome movie. It comes out in DECEMBER PEOPLE!!! GET OUT YOUR WALLETS!!
Anyways, have fun with The Matrix Reloaded, and....have fun..and trust me you'll agree with me about the fight scene!!! Quite long, but THE BEST!!!

Summary: Great movie. not so great dvd
Review: the movie is awsome. i have nothing bad to comment about it. the dvd in the other hand is not what i expected by a long shot. "The matrix" (part I) dvd was one of the first dvd's on the market that included some really cool extra features. It made the fenomenon even more impressive. It included the script, sotryboards, website on disk, documentaries, even trivia games. the matrix reloaded dvd lacks all of it, even though it is a 2 disk set. where is the content that will keep me hours reading and searching, and getting inmersed in the matrix experience. I have to say that this dvd seems inprovised. I don't regret having bought it, I love the movie. But the dvd edition is lacking all the ecxitement that is associated with this release.
