Summary: If I had to chose-- I chose the Matrix!
Review: After being blown away by the original Matrix four years ago I liked the themes, the characters, the conflict of the movie so much that it would be nearly impossible for Warchowskies to make a sequel that I wouldn't like. Not only was I right but the sequel also left me exalted. The action scenes were among the most breathtaking ones I have ever seen. When Morpheus stood with a blade in his left hand against an incoming car, with twins behind the wheel, not only did he dodge the incoming car but he also sliced the tire making the car tip and tumble as well as my jaw drop. That was perhaps the single most brilliant action moment I have seen in any action movie! Man, as far as any Matrix movie goes I just wish I had a longer version of Anterograde amnesia. Long enough to see either the Matrix or Reloaded to the end and then forget what I have seen. Then I would watch them again, enjoying the movie with the same intensity as seeing it for the first time. I would do that over and over, and have lots of fun doing so. Right now I can hardly wait for a sequel. The day when I will see Revolutions for the first time will be just as memorable as when I saw the original Matrix and Reloaded. But, I also have a feeling that Revolutions will be even better than Reloaded.

Summary: Second To Best after the Matrix
Review: All the bad reviews that I have seen so far show an unbelievable lack of understanding the story. I have indeed heard a couple of negative comments that were based in reality, and were justified, but I hear criticisms every day from people who prove nothing more than the fact that they didn't really understand the movie. The Matrix is NOT for everyone. If you know nothing about computers, religions, and philosophy, then you probably can't fully enjoy the movie. I do admit that the vagueness of the plot allows for different interpretations, but I advise those who are interested to search the Internet for some pretty good explanations. It DOES make sense once you actually understand it. And to those who dismiss the movie merely based on the sex scene, loosen up people! It's the 21st century. Showing sex scenes in a movie is not such a horrible crime.

Summary: This movie Rocks more than any other
Review: For the simple reason that so many people who even dont like it not that much dont realise when writing the movie that this is a movie split into 2, unlike LOTR which is also split but those split like in the book where they were meant to be split, Reloaded is split right in the middle of Matrix 2 cut into half into reloaded and revolutions, Matrix Reloaded is what Matrix originals first half was like, story development and little action, while matrix revolutions is like the second half of the matrix original with most of it action x 100, you cannot get a full review of reloaded without seeing matrix revolutions, there will always be doubters but they will mostly change thier minds after looking at the epicness of Revolutions which will make the matrix original look like a cartoon. Matrix Reloaded is a perfect set up to the final movie. Per say Revolutions wont have a bigger opening as Reloaded at the Box Office but it will have much stronger legs than Reloaded because most epic trilogies last movie always do just like Return of the King is expected to do and just like Indiana Jones ATLC did. I feel sorry for the people who say this movie is the worst they have ever seen. I hope these people dont like movies like Kangaroo Jack or Ballistics: Ecks vs Sever or rather Charlies Angels 2. If you want to say its the worst movie then you should wait until you see Matrix Revolutions and Reloaded together. 5.5 hours. im sure you wont sit in the theatre that long, thus the split in between. my 2 cents

Summary: Matrix Reloaded lived up to the hype IMHO!
Review: I didn't let myself get too hyped up over this, although I have been waiting for it since 2000. I wasn't lucky enough to see the original in theaters, but was still blown away when I saw it at home. Matrix Reloaded didn't skimp on content like I feared it would given the commercial success of the first, and I am really happy the directors got to make "their movie" just like they did in The Matrix. Sometimes studios can really screw up a movie, WB was smart enough to back off. There is more dialogue in this movie, but I figure that is because the audience needs to form a bond with characters so we can see what Neo, Trinity, Morpheus, etc. are fighting for. I loved this movie and can't wait for it to come out on DVD! I already pre-ordered mine!

Summary: This is the worst movie I've ever seen
Review: I don't understand why some people think this film is good because it is not. Don't waste your time in this "movie".
I say it cause I lost 2 hours of my lime watching this stupid film. Do yourself a favor and get "The lord of rings: Fellowship of the ring and Da two towers " because these movies are excellent, classics. MATRIX RELOADED HAS TO WIN THE AWARD FOR THE WORST FILM OF THE YEAR !!!!!

Summary: INCREDIBLE!!!
Review: Words cannot describe the greatness of this sequal. It was not dumbed down to an unintelligent audience - but instead raises the bar in how engaging and entertaining a movie can be. And, if you do not have the brains to follow the plot, or amazing philisophical speeches, than be awed by the amazing effects. Great job Wachowski's, this is one heck of a movie!!!

Summary: The Matrix Reloads Again
Review: Whoa. An unbelievable mindjob brought to you by the Wachowski brothers. "Reloaded" is a fast-paced movie; if you're not careful, you might get whiplashed. For starters, the special effects featured in this film far surpasses the previous "Matrix" installment. Consider bullet time the appetizer. "Reloaded" gives you the full meal. Neo's "burly brawl" with the Agents include a blistering 360 degree camera swing while he spins furiously around a metal post. Real? Like the Matrix itself, no. That scene was all done completely by CGI. The freeway chase is no picnic, either. $2.2 million worth of cars alone were trashed just for those 14 minutes- in addiiton, millions were poured into the making the freeway itself. Trinity is an angel without wings here, as she rips up the road on her Ducati motorcycle, with agents in tow. This chase alone is worth the [money]. Other visual goodies include battle scenes that resemble lethal ballets- the martial arts performed by Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and company are heavier, more intense. So intense, I forgot to breathe at some points. Many have complained about the plotline of "Reloaded", critics included. No movie is perfect, but frankly, you cannot compare "Reloaded" with the first "Matrix". Why? For one, the purpose of the first "Matrix" was to build the background of Neo, his journey into the unknown, his initiaion if you will, into hero-dom. While the first "Matrix" focused only on a few characters, "Reloaded" expands on the character cache, which can be a bit confusing at times, but will undoubtedly be effective in one way or another in "Matrix: Revolutions." Also, in "Reloaded", we see more of Zion, something that is different from the first. It is here in Zion that we see Trinity and Neo consumate their love for each other. A bit random, I have to say, and although seemingly pornographic at times, [ mild techno pounds in the background ] I throughougly enjoyed the fact that Trinity and Neo share that love between them- their relationship is more developed, emotional- Trinity is seen as leather-clad, but more feminine and sexier. Neo has taken a more Christ-like role this time around. Although still doubtful of himself at times, he is almost god-like, endowed with a multitude of new powers, like flying. The recurring dilliema through "Reloaded" seems to be choice, free will, and fate. Neo is to choose between saving humanity or saving Trinity; will love prevail, or will duty? Is the prophecy indeed true, or merely a hoax, a lie to disguise the truth? What was perceived to be real, is fake, and what is fake, is in actuality, real. Confused? Mindjob, I kid you not. Don't blink, and please, use the restroom before the movie.Not fun. Humor is also a subtle, yet effective play in "Reloaded"- dry humor, but humor nevertheless. If you're not familiar with the philosophy that serves as the frame of the movie, you probably won't experience the maximum effect of the film. Following the writings of Plato, the Wachowski brothers shape Neo as Socrates, who is told that his mind will inevitably set the people free. Very spiffy. Eerily enough, Socrates is put on trial and sentenced to death, which brings to mind another question: does Neo die? Religious allusions are abundant as well. The Christian references are in no way hindering- all in all, the mythology, religion, and philosophy that the Wachowski brothers bring in, accentuate the film's main purpose. Neo is shown to have powers outside of the Matrix- what does it all mean? And if things in the Matrix can alter the real world, is "the real world" another Matrix? "Revolutions" holds the answers to these questions, and holds the final chapter in the battle for Zion. It hits theaters November 5th of this year. For now, satisfy your cravings with a healthy dose of "Reloaded", and do watch the first one again.

Summary: Come on; this movie is "Entertainment"
Review: It never ceases to amaze me how some people think that they are demonstrating their incisive, critical capabilities when they try to inform us other poor incapable viewers about supposed plot shortcomings or other similar failings. Do they really think that I will or will not purchase the DVD based on their evaluations?? When it really comes down to it, film enjoyment is a matter of personal taste, notwithstanding what I am told is a weakness. One person's downside is another's up. So, it doesn't matter to me if one of your reviewers said that the movie should not have tried to be "Philosophy 101" (it wasn't), or that the "orgy scene" was hokey (it was), or that Keanu Reeves' acting was "wooden" (maybe). When the rubber hits the road, the movie was "kick-[butt]" in terms of CG and great fight scenes, and being pleasing to the eye. It continued the story, entertained, had a great score, and had a real cliffhanger of an ending. At the film's conclusion, I was left saying to myself that I can't wait for "Revolutions." What more could one want from good entertainment?
