Rating: Summary: The Matrix Reloaded (Widescreen Edition) DVD Review: This is a review for all of you who think the plot line for reloaded and the character development was below par. If anybody who actually knows about the original concept by the Wachowski brothers they would know that the matrix was a huge concept for one 10 hour film. The first film in the series was approximately only 1/5 of the entire script. The character development and plot lines were decided on years ago when the brothers developed the script. To say that the characters have become like Shakespear and very monotone was anticipated more than five years ago. The plot line and the concept of Zion is was also decided long ago, this is the vision of the Wachowski brothers and if you dont like dont watch it.
Rating: Summary: A Complex Mix Review: Overall, I really enjoyed The Matrix: Reloaded. It felt like watching a movie version of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. While the movie itself failed to live up to expectations in some places (the tribal dance scene and Keanu's "I just love you too damn much," are good examples), the complex mix of cultures and mythology comes off pretty well.I don't think that it is as obvious to most movie watchers, though. Most of the people I went with left confused and/or disappointed. Only in talking about the movie in context to the greater body of art out there did they begin to find it enjoyable. It's definitely a different kind of movie.
Rating: Summary: An Enjoyable movie, but needs some editting Review: MATRIX RELOADED, what can you say. It is definately a good "sequel". The story begins in the MATRIX with introductions, themes and motifs. The story of the series continues in the MATRIX RELOADED and the dilemma or climax is introduced. The charactors develop and you learn about the final conflict. Over-all I enjoyed the movie. I have no complaints about the plot, it develops nicely into the next movie and the final conflict. It thankfully ends where the story seems to pause before the final climax and does not have one of those cliff-hanger ends. The charactors for the most part were well developed and excellent. Although Neo and Trinity (and sometimes Morpheus) seem very superficial and distant. Almost like idealized caracatures. There is not intimacy or personal developement in their relationship to the audience. The supporting charactor were much more developed, even for the short time that they were on screen. (i.e. the Oracle, Seraph, Link) Unfortunately, I didn't really like the extremely long scenes that seemed to last hours and hours. For example, the scene were Neo fights the hundreds of "Agent" Smith-s was way too long. Not to mention Neo was CGI-ed for the most part. I mean it's nice to have these visual and imaginative fight scene, but a director should never get so carried away that he looses his audience. That is key NEVER LOOSE YOUR AUDIENCE. The Zion dance scene could also use some editting. At anyrate, it makes for a good restroom or popcorn break(s). The script was ok, no different from the first movie. (A little cheesy but I've experienced worse.) An Overall 3. An enjoyable movie, that is ALMOST destroyed by its short comings. And yeah... I'll get a copy for Christmas.
Rating: Summary: matrix got a virus Review: I GOT TO ADMIT THAT I WENT TO THE PREMIER OF THIS MOVIE I THINK IT WAS A WEDNESDAY NIGHT AROUND 12:30AM. THERE WAS SO MUCH HYPE SEEN THE CONTINUATION OF ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIE THAT PUT A LANDMARK OF SPECIAL EFFECTS. USUALLY, WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF HYPE SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THE FIRST HOUR IS A WASTE OF TIME, AND I WAS WONDERING HOW CAN THESE PEOPLE RUINED THE LEGACY OF THE FIRST ONE. THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IN THIS MOVIE WAS THE CAR CHASE SCENE. I THINK THAT FINDING NEMO HAD MORE SENSE THAT THE MATRIX RELOADED. I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED: MATRIX THE VIRUS
Rating: Summary: ~ Matrix reloaded ~ Review: OMG, What else can I say? Other than THIS MOVIE ROX! The graphics are stunning and the fight scenes rock! You can forget any other movie that acctually got on the top 10 list because this movie would probbably be #1. Yes, Maybe the movie didn't make all that much money, but what can you say? It's rated R. i know I've been blabbing on about this movie- but trust me, it's worth it. Just remember to, FREE YOUR MIND!
Rating: Summary: Disappointing Sequel Review: This movie is bigger than the first, has more characters, plenty of martial arts, and yet I ask myself why don't I like it as much as the first one? Could I have been expecting too much? Perhaps. But, considering the budget, this movie fails in every department. The script is horrendously sophomoric. And some of that "esoteric" dialogue! Ugh! The relationship between Neo and Trinity doesn't have a drop of passion in it despite some quasi-steamy moments. Although some of the art direction is impressive, the story itself is uninvolving. I don't like to give away a movie's plot, but this one doesn't really have one, that I can recall other than a very skeletal storyline. This is a perfect example of the Hollywood mentality that thinks that just because something worked once it will work again. This movie doesn't work for me, and I am huge fan of great action and sci-fi movies. Ultimately it's too much of nothing.
Rating: Summary: Was not all that Review: At first, I thought I was the only that thought the movie was not that great. The whole orgy dancing seen was a waste of time and even though the fight scenes were cool, I got to a point to where I was asking "When is this scene gonna be over?" The special effects on the highway were superb and the overall story at least left me wanting to see Revolutions (unlike the Star Wars). Hopefully the next movie will bring it all together.
Rating: Summary: Awesome movie!!!! Review: This is the second movie of one of the best epic trilogies of all time. Sure this movie isn't as magical or amazing to most of you and thats because its the second movie and the graphics that amazed you from the first has been done. The graphics have been improved some and the third i believe will blow you away. the real problem though is that most of you only liked the first because of the graphics and you never pay attention to the plot or you don't understand it. You put down the middle movie of the trilogy because the plot is to complex for you and tells to much. Its this way because the second movie is the main plot movie and it sets the third film up like all epic trilogies. Such as Star Wars(No I'm not a computer nerd the matrix trilogy is just my favorite movie)! Now go and rewatch the first and pay attention learn the plot and philosophy of it and it will stun you then watch the second as it sets you up for the final movie. Also think about a few things for the upcoming one such as: what if Neo goes bad? they are in another Matrix?, Neo can control all the machines, or Neo is the ultimate agent made to kill the surviving Zion citizens?
Rating: Summary: 700 million world wide can't be wrong Review: Don't listen to the bad reviews perhaps they missed nascar or wrestling when they went to see reloaded thats why they are so angry. This is a true action film is the kind f action film you wont forget anytime soon a look at the box office if you don't believe me look around it was the second blockbuster of the year umm is like star wars we all knew what was going to happen but we saw it anyways because its been a cult phenomenon. well perhaps we know what should happen in reloaded but lets face it Reloaded is the action film of the year and here is why: Great script [although a couple"I don't know" lines annoyed me] but is just because they don't wanna give anything away for the next movie like neo can now destroy machines in the real world. Like 10000 special effects. The best fight Neo and the Agents Really cool new characters like the twins you find new stuff you missed. Every time it gets better, you'll see it again and again Okay First i have to say that the matrix is a great trilogy that defines the end of the 90's and the beginning of this new century. Just like terminator and the cheesy horror films defined the 80's. What makes this series so unbelievable great is the message the philosophical matter, is like reading Virgil or homer, it challenges you imagination in finding out what is it really, what is the meaning the message behind the story and why so many people relate?. Like the people who wrote bad reviews don't know but is just like buffy somewhat teen therapy same with matrix it has meaning behind somewhat spiritual if you don't believe me ask those guys who banned the movie for religious themes. This a very smart movie, the vocabulary is just eloquent and elegant. This like the first matrix something you haven't seen before, it can't get any better than that people!. Like when neo meets the architect of the matrix, great piece of modern literature that was the ticket to coolsville for me lol:P, The first matrix is the self discovery of the hero, matrix reloaded is about to trying to find the purpose behind being the one with loads of actions and tons of catch phrases. Perhaps this one lack a bit of mystery but it comes full force, and set the tone for revolutions. And just seeing MR smith and his awesome lines, just the greatest villain ever! The special effects are breath taking and really just get bet better after every scene, after the first scene when neo fights the upgraded agents you know is going to be a great movie. So go get it now and discover why millions of people have seen this excellent movie
Rating: Summary: DANG!!!! Review: Okay, First of all, if you are going to see this movie, see the first one. Second, if you are going to see the movie, watch it on a big screen TV. The movie starts out with an awesome scene with Trinity. Then a fight scene with Neo. Then there's this long boring part in Zion that is probably the worst part because it is so long. But then, Neo has a huge fight with Smith. I mean. This is awesome. Then a Great Hall fight, then the best chase scene ever (which is tied with the T3 chase.) Then the climax. The action is like 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times better than in The Matrix. Even though it is confusing in some parts... but it will all be cleared up in The Matrix Revolutions. I hope you rent/buy it cuz it rocks!!!
