Summary: I forgot how good it was
Review: The Matrix is one of my favorite trilogies. I liked all the movies that came out for the Matrix, but I forgot how good they were. Great movie! In the first sequel, Neo has accepted that he is the One, while all ships are requested to go Zion, the last human city. Sentinals are drilling into the core, trying to destroy Zion, and Smith is back, making copies of himself to attack Neo. Morpheus's crew is trying to find the keymaker so they can better help Zion against Sentinals. Great movie.

Summary: Great Movie, Great Trilogy
Review: I have seen the Matrix Reloaded a total of 6 times in the theatre and I never get sick of it. The DVD is something I had looked forward to since I first saw Matrix Reloaded in the theatre. This movie has it all action, suspense, mystery, along with great new characters like The Ghost twins, The Merovingian, The Architect, and the Agent Smith's muliplying was great. I don't think there is a better on screen matchup than Neo (Mr. Anderson) vs. Agen Smith. I loved the Burly Brawl scene that was classic as was the Highway scene of course. The Architect scene was just a mind opener even though it left a lot of questions made The Matrix that much more intriguing. The Matrix is my favorite trilogy and I never get sick of watching any of the three it is just great to have on DVD to pop in whenever I feel the need to plug in.

Summary: An order of magnitude better
Review: I know I'm not with the majority in saying this, but I truly think that this movie was much, much better than the first. This isn't a case of a fanboy trying to convince himself because he's desperate to like the sequel, I already tried that with the Matrix Revolutions and failed (the third and final part of this trilogy is truly a bad movie in almost every sense).I went into this movie expecting expensive special effects and not much story. The key to the success of the first movie was that it had a simple story, I was simply hoping that Reloaded would come close to achieving the same thing. What I got was way beyond expectations. In the first ten minutes of this movie, I had the same misgivings that I think everyone else did. However, I seem to have gotten over them much faster than everyone else. Yes, the old insular, gritty nature of the first movie, the small group against impossible odds, is gone. I missed this at first, but then I realised that the Wachowskis had set out to tell a much bigger story, and this needs to happen on a much bigger stage. The movie is somewhat unbalanced. The first half-hour is set within the underground city of Zion, which isn't as impressive as it should have been, and it contains Morpheus' speech to the masses, which is far less impressive than it should have been. But I didn't find the rave/sex scene to be anywhere near as dull as others did. It serves a valuable purpose within the framework of the movie. Once the Zion section is over, though, the movie never lets up. The fights are more impressive, the story is incredible, and the special effects are amazing. And for once, over-the-top special effects actually aid the flow of the movie, rather than distract from it. It is the slickest, coolest movie I've ever seen. It isn't Citizen Kane, but it is so cool that it outshines anything else that came out in 2003. The DVD also sports a few neat documentaries that, unlike the documentaries on the original Matrix DVD, don't ruin the movie, they show you just how much effort was put into making it (the documentaries on the first DVD show how dull the fights were to film, and how slowly they were done, which takes all the fun out of them). But really, when you buy this DVD, you buy it for the movie. And in this case, it'd be worth the price even if there were no extras at all.

Summary: Decent Sequel To The '99 Blockbuster
Review: I Really Enjoyed 'The Matrix Reloaded' When I Saw It In Theatres. I Was Pumped Up To See This Sequel Since I Really Had A Thing For The Original. When The Movie Ended Only One Word Could Sum It Up: Amazing. To Be Honest Some Of The Scenes Really Could Be Tedious. Most Noticeably The Dialogue Sessions. Some Were Vital I Admit, Like The Architect's Session. Some Weren't Really Vital, Such As When Counsillor Hamman Was Talking To Neo About Control. I Enjoyed The Action Sequences Very Much. I Had A Knack For The Burly Brawl (All The Smiths Attacking Neo In The Park Or Wherever), Though The Effects Were Obviously Computers (The Effects Supervisors Said They Couldn't Do That Sequence With Just Wirework And Stuff. I Do Not Blame Them.). The Highway Chase Scene Is Awesome, Especially At The End With The Truck Sequence. I Have To Say That Though This Movie Is A Nice Touch On The Matrix Phenomenon, It Isn't As Groundbreaking As The Original. A Lot Of People Complained About This, But I Am Perfectly Comfortable With It. Either Way, Everyone Has Their Own Opinion. So, If You Are A True Critic With Movies And You Look For Any Possible Flaws In Films, You Probably Wouldn't Enjoy This. But If You Are A Hardcore Fan Of The Matrix Saga Like Me, I Bet You Would.

Summary: "Reloaded", shoots blanks
Review: The "Matrix" saga chugs along in this unsatisfying second entry that is devoid of humor and is basically a major ripoff of other sci-fi films ("Terminator" and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"). The war between man and machine heats up as Neo and his band of humans prepare for the worst. Meanwhile, Agent Smith disconnects himself from the Matrix to become a rogue virus and starts to cause trouble for both the Matrix and Neo. The "Matrix" films are like a bad hip-hop cd - all style and bling bling, but, no substance and soul. I went into this film without much hope (the first film was o.k. at best). The acting is stilted (Are we supposed to care for any of these characters? The performances in "Star Wars Episode II" were better, compared to this). Fishburne's, Zion speech is a howler (he looks gross with his shirt off) and the dance afterwards is embarassing to watch. Jada Pinkett Smith has enough black attitude to power "Bad Boys III" without having Will Smith or Martin Lawerence showing up. Keanu Reeves continues to strive to be the world's suckiest actor. The highway chase went on far too long (how many times does Morpheius need to hang off the side of the truck...lame!). The Keymaster in "Ghostbusters" is a lot better than the one here. The color scheme to the film is green and black, much like the darkside of a shamrock shake. After over 2 hours spent of my life watching this, it still ain't over. For the people who haven't seen this, skip it, because, I can hear the fatlady starting to sing on this trilogy.

Summary: (Matrix 2) Good Trilogy, not quite the best in the series...
Review: When i first saw the original matrix movie i thought it was one of the best.. it had like so many styles in a movie like no other. Then i saw this movie (matrix: Reloaded) the 2nd part in the trilogy i was kind of disapointed. The fight scenes were so good though, better then the first matrix expecially with Neo's arch enemy. It though i thought was unnecessarily long for the fact that its dragged into a 2-part chapter (or whatever). I actually thought that the Starwars series (4, 5 & 6) were better cuz the fact they always showed u something worthwhile. But of course now thats hollywood's idea of making money. However though the actual plot of this first half was still very good, i had to admit after seeing this movie for a 2nd time i was infact more pleased. Maybe because i understood more or the fact that its on dvd & i can scan through diff areas on which i thought were boring parts (the celebration which isnt the only part). I did though watch it all the way, but still dint need a whole lot of scenes.. well at least to some people they got thier money's worth. I on the other hand had to pay $8.50 to see it once while normally i could have seen it for $4.. so no i dint get my money's worth, lol. This is still a good movie & if you have seen the first one, rent this one first to see if you like it.. now since revolutions is out you can rent that one if your curious.. anyways this movie is my least fav out of the trilogy.. Matrix (my favorite)
Matrix: Reloaded (my least favorite)
Matrix: Revolutions (its my mid favorite dude)

Summary: Visualy stuning, but what the hell is going on here?
Review: I loved the first flim. It was origenal, fast-paced, and just plain cool. I saw "Relaoded" a few days after it's thactrical release. I was confused, really confused. I was compleatly lost throughout the entire movie.
The fight sceans are better then they were in the first movie. The highway sceen is the best action sequence in the history of cinama.
November came around, and I hoped "Revolutions" would clear things up. It did'nt. Someone please explain this weird ass trilagy to me.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: The more I watch this movie, the more I like it. But I didn't like it as much the first time I saw it. I thought it had too much exposition and a few scenes that weren't needed. I think this movie could've been edited down to about an hour, and just combined with "Revolutions" for a 3 hour movie. But nevertheless, I still like this movie. And I've gotten used to all the exposition scenes. But the Zion party scene where Neo and Trinity go off and do the wild thing for 5 whole minutes of screen time just stopped the movie for a bit. It was totally unnecessary. It served no purpose whatsoever. But it picks back up later on with a great fight scene between Neo and a hundred Agent Smiths. This scene was great. And the highway chase scene was remarkable as well. And I liked the cliffhanger. It really made me want to see Revolutions right then and there! The DVD has great special features, the highlight being the documentary on buidling the highway for the chase scene. Good movie, good DVD.
