Summary: Not as good as first, but still awesome!!
Review: The storyline is a little more thrilling, but it is very confusing at the end. I thought it was a little too predictable, but still awesome.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Let us not exagerate.....
Review: The Matrix movie always had that feel of intrigue. It was the one cool action movie that had the most intriguing plot.Unfortunately, The Matrix Reloaded does not cut it the same way. Most of it's plot is fairly interesting, not as intriguing as the first Matrix but fair enough.There are many scenes that were maybe somewhat unnecessary like the Zion scene(which i would've cut in half) or the agent smith scene(which gets boring after a while).I believe the movie tries to astonish people with its special effects(car chase,smith agents) and leaves the plot out a little. Nevertheless it still a good movie. The scenes with the Oracle and The Architect were pretty interesting. I believe the ending of this movie its what makes it worth it. The movie, in my opinion talks about how destiny can actually be avoided, which foreshadows that the humans will resist in the end.It was a "transition movie" so it was basically paving the way for revolutions. It is a good buy on DVD because its special effects and some of its philosphical intrigue is still there. This one lives up to the matrix, but does not add much more to it.I give it four stars

Summary: What the?!
Review: I was blown away initially by the first episode of this film. The characters were very well done, the fight scenes, and technologies were first rate. Neo was just learning about his powers. The second film just seemed to make a mockery of this and Neo should of been able to beat hell out of just about every one. Agent smith was a bore, however Hugo weaving was great in his role I believe his talent was severely hindered by the plot. The long winded speeches and hypothesizing was extremely wasteful, if the filmakers were short of story they might have made the movie shorter instead of padding it with cr$p! To cut a long story short I just hope that revolutions redeems those who work so hard at making sense of the cr*p they are dealt.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Five stars are hardly enough
Review: Definitely better than the first, although I found myself wondering if the party scene early on was entirely necessary, or, if it WAS necessary, if it needed to be as drawn out as it was.

Other than that, fantastic. Can't wait to see the third.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well, well, well
Review: It is an absolute blast of hilarity when I go to Amazon.com and see all the negative reviews of this film. People (mostly really, really sutpid, stupid people)have already assumed the whole thing and are dissing this film like it is the end of The Matrix saga ,BUT OH NO NO NO YOU ARE SO WRONG! . I must first say that this film is the second part of a THREE PART series so now that you remember that you can kick yourself in the ass and call yourself a big idiot. Everything in RELOADED is 'middled' if I can say that. I mean 'middled' because it is truly a middle piece of story from a whole on and becuase it is just that the result is disasterous to people with a one track mind. You must wait for REVOLUTIONS to be released to see the whole result and then and only then it will be a day of truth for all these assuming bafoons.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Well......
Review: Ok, this movie is definatly not as good as the first and is not for everybody. But I did find it entertaining. There are alot of parts that are extremely dumb and corny but then there are some others that are just so cool. And even the dumb and corny parts have something cool about them, even if it is something very small...
In my opinion it is worth seeing at least once, so go see it and judge for yourself.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Boring
Review: The first half of this movie was so boring I almost turned off the DVD. There is a scene at the beginning where everybody is dancing in slow motion and that seems to go on for hours! The action scene at the beginning is done in slow motion and that goes on and on and isn't exciting at all. It's just boring. I hate all this slow motion stuff! Maybe it worked the first few times they did it but now it's just annoying. The freeway scene was hardly impressive. You could see where they would use the same stretch of freeway over and over. The part where Neo fights the hundreds of Agent Smiths is SO boring! Nobody gets hurt, nobody gets tired, nobody dies. So what's the point? Finally Neo just flies away. Why didn't he do that at the beginning? SO much wasted time! And the story is even more confusing. Whenever somebody starts talking that's all they do. Talk talk talk. After awhile all you hear is "blah blah blah" and you're looking forward to another pointless action scene. And the dialog is so dry. There's no emotion. This movie is just bad. I'll give it 2 stars for the special effects.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Matrix Reloaded, a Practical Perspective
Review: I just saw the "Matrix Reloaded," and I have to say, guns will always beat martial arts, and I don't care how good you are with your footwork. In Star Trek, they invented a sniper rifle which was actually just a transporter device that could teleport a bullet into a selected target, which would definitely create a paradigm shift in military thinking today. On top of that, a device like a transporter would cause a new type of military
standoff. Why? Because with current medical technology, you could teleport a small bit of poison into a victim and cause that person to die of seemingly "natural causes." I have no doubt the military would try to do something like this, as the Russian KG B has already done something like this, only they used needles to deliver the poison, bumping into their
victims and pretending that the injection was a poke from an umbrella or something. If everyone had the ability to transport poison into every other leader, they wouldn't have an outright war, but a standoff, as kings have not led their own battles since the days of Ramayana, a true warrior's kind of story. Until people start portraying battles like the armies of
Ramayana, we're in for more movies like the Matrix Reloaded. That's just how I feel.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BEHOLD! The worst film of 2003
Review: If you were to mix an overdose on eye candy and over anticipated geek indulgence The Matrix Reloaded marvels at the fact that movies truthfully do not need substance in order to be a successful American motion picture. Not only are the glimpses of Keanu Reeves flying throughout the air humorous, but it kind of symbolizes how lame the American public really is, upon buying countless loads of merchandise, buying into the countless ''philosophies'' that the first film offered to us (and yet isnt present in this disaster), and most importantly proclaiming that this is a good film. THIS IS NOT A GOOD MOVIE!
Below are the factors that destroyed it:
1-Eye Candy: too much of it. I feel as if I am in a Marilyn Manson fans wonderland complete with ''hip'' leather fashion and uninspired techno tripe.
2-Actors: I only cast pity upon each and everyone of these weak excuses for actors. We knew Reeves was never that good, but come on, you've got to be fooling me dude. Ive seen more passion in acting in science fiction B-flicks divided by the lowest common denominator. Oh, and Fishbourne may be the guy whose considered to be the ''saving grace'' as the ''only trying actor'', but he really didnt have me convinced at that speech he gave us in the cave. Oh, and Trinity, you look like Keanu with breasts. You dont save this movie either.
3-Sex Appeal: As if you came to see a science fiction movie laced with this, but seriously, what was the point in adding it into this? Were they trying to make this more appealing to the teenage public? Maybe they should have added a Vin Diesal cameo or maybe an African American comic relief. Oh wait, they already have one of those.
4-No Fun: This film dragged and dragged; I felt like Warner Bros. took me on a ride that looked pretty cool from the outside yet upon joining in on ''the fun'', I was punished for wanting to watch this. This is two hours of dehumanization and I want them back.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: better the second time arouns
Review: I have to admit, I, along with everyone else in the known world, was somewhat disappointed with Matrix II. Well, I've had about 6 momths to get over my disappointment and settled down to watch it again in the privacy of my home entertainment center and you know something....it's not such a bad movie. In fact, Now that the movie doesn't have to compete with my expectations, I enjoyed a lot better. I also understand a bit more about the gangsters and how they could exist in the matrix. I still have issues with the Zion orgy/sex scene, That did go on about five minutes too long. But otherwise, I feel much different about the movie as a whole.
That being said, where was the menu on the first disk?
