Summary: Unwitting Sequel Saved by DVD Features
Review: Yes, Reloaded disappointed many, but not as many as Revolutions did! ;) This sequel is fun, has great action, creative new characters, unlogical abilities, relatively weak plot and the beginning is terribly slow. But, this DVD has some great features, including a how-did-they-do-that regarding the nearly 15 minute long freeway chase scene. The great thing about this DVD is you can skip all the crap and go straight to the good stuff, over and over again!

Summary: The Matrix Reloaded Blows
Review: Anyone who claims to enjoy the Matrix Reloaded is either a special effects junkie or a retarded sociopath. The special effects in this movie are mind boggling, but after watching the movie a second or third time it is excruciatingly boring. The story, which spins a complicated, moronic web of choppy, incoherent dialogue, absolutely SUCKS and pales in comparison to that of the original Matrix movie. To top it all off, Keanu Reeves, who was tolerable in the original film, really shows his talent for crappy acting. This movie gets two stars for action and special effects, period.

Summary: The most complex intelligent movie of all time.
Review: my first question is does everybody hate this film? You have to intelligent to watch the matrix reloaded do to it's story line, if only all you ignorent close minded people could only understand the making of this film. It is not made of mumbo jumbo, is very uniqie story line. All you smart people know what i'm talking about don't you. The first matrix is very unique but with a untold story to be told, so they came with this along with revolutions of coarse. This is more smart way to understand.

Summary: Serious letdown
Review: First off, the second in a trilogy almost always sucks, since the director(s) lets the movie "end" in a cliffhanger instead of with an actual ending to the story. This one is no exception. Second, the DVD extras are long, boring babbles by the various people involved with the movie. I couldn't finish a single one of them. Finally, what's missing from the DVD is something that would help us better understand what is going on in the movie. Instead we hear more about what clever projects the directors are planning to get more of our money. I would have like to see bios of some of the Matrix-world characters, or maybe the scene where one of the Zion characters was liberated from the Matrix. How was Zion built? Why is Kung Fu so integral to the plot? Is it representative of some computer program/virus conflict? Sigh. No new information, just babble. There's no reason to buy the DVD if you can get the VHS cheaper.

Summary: Pure Sequel Crap
Review: After seeing the Matrix i was extremely impressed with it. It went down as one of my favorite movies. Even though the matrix wasn't the first to use their slow motion screening during those action scenes or their I can jump really high(I mean fly) special effect scenes, it really was the first to influence so many other movies to follow those kind of action scenes. I mean really it only worked in the matrix. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was horrible, Charlie's Angel's both of em were horrible. It soon became an over used effect that brought down my opinion on the original matrix even. Even though I knew the matrix would be a trilogy i was of the opinion that the first one should have ended it. I was not looking forward to seeing reloaded, but I knew i would have to. I finally did and it was horrible. Hardly a story line at all instead of developing a story they throw in action scenes {most of em blow anyways) like it will appeal to everyone in the audience. Might as well watch WWE or something like that I mean their plot is just as good and it has as much action. Morpheus is really horrible at motivational speaking and Jade Pinkett really didn't fit in this movie. The only character I liked in the entire movie was that new french guy with all of his little henchmen. I can't say the movie was a dissapointment because I was expecting something this bad. But it doesn't change the fact that I wasted 20 bucks at the movies to see it. When I really would have rather stayed home and stared at a fly on the wall for 2 1/2 hours.

Summary: a popcorn flick
Review: This movie is everything that a summer flick should be. Lots of action scenes and special effects. That's all I cared about and the movie is great if you like lots of action. The philosophy is not as good as it was in the first movie. It seems as if the movie was rushed and put out there to become a blockbuster hit. It was a little odd when regular people worshipped Neo as if he were god. The movie doesn't do much for me other than being a fun flick without much of a plot. Fans that are really into the movies will probably be disappointed because the storyline is more about chases, action, & special effects. It focuses less on the philosophy. Not as good as the first one. Then again most sequels are that way.

Summary: i dunno
Review: a lot of people really disliked this but i thought it was pretty good. the fight scenes were cool, the story was better than the first, but a lot of people didn't like it...why? in my opinion the third one was terrible, but then some like it. i think this movie is very ambiguous and its up to particular tastes.

Summary: Don't Buy IT!
Review: OK...See it because it peaks your interest...but dont buy it! You'll be sorry , you WON'T watch it over and over like you did the Matrix. We all KNEW it was going to be a tough act to follow. The only sequels that have pulled it off successfully(?) were the Terminator and maybe Rocky..and they were "iffy". I don't have to go over the plot, there isn't one.It doesn't leave you wanting more , ie. the next sequel.It just leaves you pis*d off 'cause you blew $15.99! Special effects-well.. they did it already in the Matrix. Just a silly, hard to sit through DISAPPOINTMENT! Save your bucks!

Summary: Matrix Re-sold
Review: Matrix (the original) had a good ending. The Wachowski brothers should've kept it that way. Matrix Reloaded (and Revolutions) is nothing but a vain attempt to squeeze the last dollar out of the glory and goodname of the original. The Matrix (Episode I) was a watershed in the film industry. It had everything going for it: great direction, strong characters, great Kung-fu sequences unbelievably believable special effects, stimulating music, great (albeit scientifically inacurate) story line. And the concept of the Matrix, in itself was thought provoking. In stark contrast, Reloaded has nothing going for it. The plot is stale, the freeze-frame action sequences are not so much fun the second time around, and most disapointingy, there are no strong characters in this film. This is the same Neo, the same Morpheus and the very same Trinity who act in this film, but all three characters, together with the whole cast somehow seem artificial; much like the romance between Neo and Trinity. If you are a Matrix believer, but have never watched Reloaded, then DON'T. For you will surely lose faith.
