Summary: wow fx blah script
Review: The bros. obviously spent too much focus on fx and not enough on script. Caye needs to watch a real movie and see what a wonderful balanced combination of fx AND script can do. Being in the buxiness I can say that a lot of reviewers here are correct in their thinking.

The restarting of the heart did not need to be there nor did the overly graphic content of the dance and sex scene. All of those could have been done more tastefully. The plot was quite thin. I would have given this a lower rating but for the fact that I really enjoyed the scene where Smith decided he needed more copies. The presence of Smith greatly added to the movie and I can hardly wait to see more of him. Yes.... I hope the next movie has more script to go with the FX. Then... and only then will it truly be a good movie. A movie is nothing without a good script.

Summary: matrix reloaded is garbage
Review: I was disappointed. The Matrix Re-loaded is nothing but[...]. Gone is the mystery of the characters, and the environment. The Zion Footage was nothing more than an excuse to extend the film. The Morpheous character is that of a Shakespearean Thespian now, and Neo is now superman and flies away at will.... and who cares about the relationship of the Matrix computer administrator and his girlfriend?....many of these scenes were wasteful. The fight sequence with Neo and the mutiplied agents became irritating after 15 minutes or so. This film failed for me. I can't recall any scene that gave me a feeling of enlightenment here. The original matrix had a mystery behind it with less intense acting, but a realization of a larger reality. What we are faced with here is badly worded dialog, and marvel comics reloaded. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title

Summary: Whether you love it or hate it depends on how you go in
Review: A lot of people didn't like Reloaded, but honestly, I don't understand why. I waited for the IMAX release before going to see the movie, so I had plenty of time to read the bad reviews. I wasn't really pleased with Animatrix either, but I was enough of a Matrix fan to go to see Reloaded despite the rancor people had with the film and my own significantly depressed expectations.

It was one of the best movie experiences of my life.

Maybe it's because it was on IMAX. Maybe it's because I enjoy Japanese animation (even though Animatrix left me flat), so I'm used to cliffhanger endings. But I was shaking--shaking!--with adrenaline from five minutes in until we left the theater. The fight scenes were beautiful. Unlike in Animatrix, the plot continues to twist and deepen. Yes, I wonder why some of the new characters have been introduced, but the same characters will be in the sequel, so I expect more to be revealed.

But the short of it is that the movie was an absolute blast (often literally!) to watch, and I, at least, left the theater feeling like this was the best ($$$) I had spent on a movie in a long, long time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: MALCONTENT AND BITTER REVIEWERS SUCK!
Review: I just want to say that RELOADED was a very entertaining second act of the trilogy. It makes me sick to read all of the reviews of the "movie experts" out there who want to bash this film. I would really love to see some of these losers try to direct or write their own version to the movie under the incredible pressure that the Bros. were under for this one. It would be pathetic and laughable. Yes, there were obvious problems with the movie, but overall it was a very cerebral story that isn't finished with some mind-blowing action scenes. A very good bridge to the conclusion REVOLUTIONS later this year. I can't wait to see it and I'm sure I'll see all of the cry babies who bashed this movie there too, loving every minute of it. ...

Summary: Disc One review
Review: On disc one of The Matrix Reloaded you get pretty much just the movie. All the extras are included on disc two which I will have to wait to see. But anyway, I have seen the video and heard the sound quality of this movie and it is phenomenal. The video is perfectly clean of artifacts. The sound will simply blow you away. If you were impressed with the audio from the first Matrix DVD, then you have to hear the sound on this one. Get this DVD when it comes out.

Video: A
Sound: A+
Menus: B+

Rated R for violence, some language and a scene of sexuality

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Whats the problem???
Review: I don't understand why everyone was so critical about Reloaded. Its only half a movie. There is still the second half. People need to see the second half before they are so critical. I think people will change there views once they see the second one. Reloaded was AWESOME.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It doesn't get much better than this
Review: A majority of those who saw The Matrix Reloaded have slammed it. That makes me wonder if they even saw the movie. People enjoy complaining about good things, and that will never change. The Matrix Reloaded was a mind blowing movie, one of the best ever made. Contrary to popular belief, there is a plot, and a good one with many elements attached. If you don't think so, watch it again, this time with your eyes open.

The action sequences are at a level never before seen in a film. There are numerous complaints about the battle with Neo and the agent Smiths going on for too long. Funny, people thought it was great when he fought one agent in the first movie, but they whine when he fights 100 of them in this one? Hello? That's 100 agents! If anything, a battle of that intensity should have gone on LONGER! Words cannot describe how amazing that fight was.

I do have a couple points of dissatisfaction. I do agree that the rave in the cave/sex scene should have been cut. In fact, it should never have been filmed. And the speech Morpheus delivered could have been done better. But these points are overshadowed by the rest of the movie in it's greatness.

Take a look at how far we've come. Take a moment to appreciate the innovative technology that went into this. If The Matrix Reloaded isn't up to your standards, I suggest you quit watching movies now. It won't get any better than this.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Weirdness
Review: I think the problems with the script and acting have been well covered in most of the other reviews for this movie. While these factors are what makes this a mediocre film, there are other hints as to why this is the case. Given that the matrix films are so highly stylized, there are a few scenes in this movie to suggest that put into theaters too quickly.

1. During the "love" scene, there is a line of spit extending from one character's lips to the other.

2. While the French guy is making his speech, a white substance that George Carlin would call "lip crud" forms at the side of his mouth.

I'm somewhat of a movie buff, and I can't recall another instance of mistakes like this making it past the editing process. Maybe I'm just too observant, but I caught these mistakes after just one viewing. I believe that The Matrix Reloaded was rushed into theaters. Which may account for the inadequacies of the script, and the needless mistakes above.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Action
Review: The movie had great action, though i can see why some are complaining. They want less talking, more fighting. Personally, I liked the movie a lot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie! for several reasons
Review: You may have heard the critics putting down this movie, well forget it. With exception of estableshed SciFi movies like the Star Trek movies ( which are based on the first two Star Trek series) and the Star Wars movies (the orginal, special edition release and episodes 1 and 2) all of which I think they are expected to speak well of because all of them are so famous and well loved by fans, it's hard to find a SciFi movie that the critics speak well of.Critics just don't get Scifi.

If you're a Scifi fan don't pay any attention to critics abd thier movie ratings, if you think what you've seen in previews and heard from friends who like Scifi, than see the movie!

OK, that being said Matrix Reloaded is a great movie several reason. First off, in the orginal Matrix you only got to see the main charactor's abilites at the end of the movie, in Matrix Reloaded he has them throughout the movie, you see more of the resistance fighters besides those on the one ship from the first matrix movie not to mention the city that was only refered to in the original movie.One critic stated that it's ony half a movie, a guess he's never heard of something called a cliffhanger. Not to mention that they came up with a believe way to challenge the main charactor's new abilites that it consistant with what kind of world that the story takes place in and believable reasons why the main charactor should doubt himself again, so there is some question in the storyline as to if he can lead the resistance to victory, so it's not like it will be a walk in the park for the resistance.Any other gripes the critics have with this movie is simply because Scifi is simply over thier heads
and once again critics both refuse to believe Scifi movies are just as good as any other movie, and some critics never heard of a cliffhanger.
