Summary: sad...really
Review: This movie must have been a huge disappointment to all the Matrix fans out there, for it is not very good and to call it bad would not be missing the mark by much. On the intellectual level the film is interesting enough, (we get a through lesson in causality and all its aspects) especially the scene with the architect and the explanation of "the One's" role in maintaining the fabric of the matrix. However, clever philosophy does not make for compelling entertainment, as is evident in this film. This movie has the feel of a soap opera. It drags horribly in parts, especially the beginning. It has all the corny love triangles of the day time television and token sex/rave scenes one expects to see in trple x not matrix. It seems as if the filmmakers aimed this movie at the 17 and under audience. The action sequences are spectacular as are the special effects but they feel unnatural and forced. the movie never gets into any kind of flow . So if you haven't seen it, Don't. Leave yourself with the good opinion that matrix has created and this movie can only destroy

Summary: Shockingly Bad. And I LOVED the first one.
Review: First and foremost, this is a heinous film. I loved the first one: it was truly good. This sequel was utterly embarrassing to watch. I entered the theater hopeful and excited, and was soon so horrified as to be glued to my seat, forced to watch in morbid fascination as the oh-so-cool world of the "Matrix" was shat upon. It was like watching a parody, a serious one. On top of these reactions, I am shocked by the amount of people who liked it. Are they under a spell, I sometimes ask myself? Is it an "Emperor's New Clothes" type situation where no one wants to badmouth the filmmakers because of their love of the first "Matrix?" I may never know the answer to these questions. What I do know is "Matrix Reloaded" has an astonishing number of cheeseball lines, usually in the form of opponents threatening one another, before, during, and after fights. These fights are followed by more cheesy commentary. Perhaps this is where the film does excel: by reaching unknown heights of corniness and grimace-worthy comeback lines. With Morpheus's disastrously out-of-character speech to the masses of Zion in mind, combined with every other moment of dialogue in the film, I am currently of the opinion that writing could be the explanation, "The Source", if you will, of the creamy chedder center that is "Matrix Reloaded." Still, I am mystified. Now, alongside any other possibly disenchanted "Matrix" fans, I am faced with the heavy task of attempting to block out memories of this monstrousity and return to the beautiful life I had before viewing the sequel, a place where the first Matrix, a fine quality film, reigns alone. It will be a long, and perilous journey to that place.

Summary: Great movie, bad features
Review: First off, I loved this movie. It was so cool. I made the mistake of buyin full screen (WS is much better, trust me), but it is still awsome. Only two movies have made me giggle with excitement at the crazy action scenes. This and Return of the King. Relaoded redefined action packed. No boring scenes, maybe 1. Purely awsome. That being said, the bunos features sucked. All it was was people talking about how genius the Wachowski brothers are. The only bunos feature I liked was the MTV movie awards spoof. It was hilarious. Im glad they put that on the DVD. All in all, the movie was 5 of 5, the features were 2 of 5, so alltogethor i put 4 stars. If ur an action fan u shood buy it. Have fun watchin Matrix Realoaded.

Summary: Fabulous. More than worthy sequel to The Matrix.
Review: Where do I start? I felt compelled to write a review after seeing all these pointless one star reviews. Ill just put in my two cents. From the beggining, to the finale/cliffhanger I was on the edge of my seat, as clische as that sounds. Never have I seen a film expand upon so much on its predecessor. Taking the story in a very unexpected territory, the wachowskis have crafted a film(s) which works on so many levels. To the unmistakable parallels with the world today, or the fascinating way they approach the themes which have run through this whole trilogy, I was in awe. Just when I thought I knew what was coming up next, ::spoiler:: Neo went through that door, and here I was expecting him to get to the source, we end up in this white room with the walls filled with television screens (the same as the ones in the first film during the inerrogation) revealing to us that Neo himself is just a pawn in the cycle by the architect to further perfect the matrix itself by "reloading" it, though it is revealed to be a much grander scheme involving the oracle and Smith as we learn in revolutions. So much for the prophecy of the one. People seem to assume the plot is nonsensical, the "pseudo philosophical mumbo jumbo" is there to make the movie seem smart. Ok. If thats what you want to believe fine. Its not. Every plot point every conversation in this film (trilogy as a matter of fact) is pertinent either to the story or the themes themselves. Now on to the other point where these films shine: Epic battles and Visual effects. I wont deny there was a few dodgy cg shots during the hundred Smith fight (i expect this to be fixed for the boxset, hopefully) Aside from that, perfection. The battle in the chateau of the merovingian is stunning. Great choreography and overall so very exciting, which leads us straight into the famous highway chase. Without a doubt one of the finest action pieces Ive ever seen. 14 minutes of pure visceral entertainment, incredible from start to finish (youd be surprised to see just how much of it is real), so take my word for it these will have you in awe. By the end of the film following one of the most frenetic scenes ive witnessed in Science Fiction, one final plot twist and there you have it: To be concluded. And conclusion is what youll get in the third film (despite what many would say), trust me.
I guess ive made it pretty clear how I feel about this film (and the trilogy for that matter) all I can do is give a wholehearted reccomendation.
Keep an Open Mind (or free it if you will, heheh)as this truly isnt youre average hollywood "action flick" and I seriously doubt well ever see a movie like this again. A solid "A" for a film and series that will be considered in the future as a staple in Science Fiction along with classics such as Blade Runner, 2001: a space oddysee, Terminator and other great works in sci fi.

Summary: Loaded with fun but drives a bumpy road.
Review: 1999's "The Matrix" was and still remains one of the greatest groundbreaking science fiction movies that came out in a very long time in my opinion. The second part of the three part Matrix trilogy "The Matrix Reloaded" brilliantly follows up on the original even though it can go overboard in places and even speed on very bumpy roads from time to time. This movie feels a lot different from the original, being a lot darker and having a very 'green' tint to much of the movie but perhaps it's due to the cover art and the theatrical posters during the movie's release. This is in my opinion, one of 2003's best movies. In the case of "Reloaded" Neo begins to realize that he has only 3 days to rally up the remaining human population and defend Zion, their last refuge from being taken over by renegade machines being controlled by a renegade program called Agent Smith who has the ability to replicate himself and spread his power all over the Matrix. Time is running out and Neo has only 3 days to save the remainder of humanity from falling prey to the intelligent machines that are run by the replicating renegade program Agent Smith. Accoring to the philosophy, Neo is in fact, Agent Smith's equal that is the 'one' who can save humanity from a fate worse than death. For some older audiences, this movie may come close to being something that came from "The Terminator" movie series and yes, I can see a lot of similarities between Matrix and Terminator in terms of man versus machine. This movie is a really excellent follow-up to the 1999 original Matrix movie but there are some areas where it can get a bit out of hand. While many movies seem to suffer from a lack of a good plot or one that never takes off at all, "The Matrix Reloaded" is the opposite where the plot goes way over the top and jumps too much between stories and goes all over the place without allowing some time to rest. In some ways, I feel that "Reloaded" has been rendered almost obsolete because it ends with a cliffhanger note almost abruptly and "Revolutions" is where the real fun begins. That doesn't mean that "Reloaded" is no longer necessary but I feel that they could easily have made "Reloaded" and "Revolutions" into one four hour movie and the final two movies in the Matrix series created more questions than answered others. The one thing that I felt was completely unnecessary was a scene between Neo and Trinity. While I am not bothered that much by such material, I felt the lovemaking scene just cluttered up the film. Sorry, no offense but I felt it cluttered up the film. I know that Keanu Reeves as Neo is the foreground character and he does great in playing Neo but Hugo Weaving who gave us Elrond from Lord of The Rings, steals the spotlight away from everyone else in this film. Upon seeing the scary and unsettling character Agent Smith, I have to say that Weaving can play some REALLY scary bad guys and is totally awesome and engaging in this movie. I could almost forget about everyone else in the movie's cast because Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith is one of the most awesome characters in this movie despite the fact that he's the arch villain. The second disc though is a real treat. You can see a lot of footage of how several of the various scenes are created and see the behind the scenes footage of the epic highway chase scenes. You won't believe how they made the highway chase scene. I'm not going to tell you how they did but you will be amazed at how they did it. I was like "WOW!" when I watched the part of filming the epic highway battle scenes. It's absolutely amazing! Then you got a lot of interviews with the actors and seeing how they filmed a lot of the various acting sequences, typical of most DVDs but the "Matrix Reloaded" DVD is definitely one to check out just for disc two. The special effects are absolutely amazing and groundbreaking, even by a lot of today's standards. The various martial combat, fight scenes and chase scenes are incredibly choreographed and tons and tons of fun to watch. I'll admit, the CGI effects can start to get out of hand in some places but for the most part, the visuals are just amazing to watch! I haven't seen special effects that actually were efficiently done so well since Bruce Willis' "The Fifth Element" from seamingly entire lifetimes ago. This movie is no masterpiece by any means, nor surpasses it's original 1999 predecessor and suffers from being a very confusing movie but if you can bypass the flaws, then "Matrix Reloaded" is a must-see movie and worth renting many times over and succeeds in many ways that a lot of sequels fail at: living up the original. I say renting as opposed to buying because I'm just waiting for a possible box set or something like "The Matrix Trilogy" or some box set containing all three movies in one because even though the final movie "Revolutions" left me wanting a lot more, this trilogy was very well done and is a great achievement in Sci-Fi History. The Waschowski Brothers have done a great job of creating an unforgettable movie legacy with these three movies. I give this movie about a Grade A-.

Summary: Great Movie, Great Sequel
Review: People, I am convinced, are idiots. Anybody who saw the first film should know that it is not merely a dumb action movie. It has a lot of themes and important dialogue that delve deep into the universe created by the Wachowski bros. What I am saying is that anybody who gives this movie a bad review because they can't understand it and don't have the time to, really needs to find something more suited to their brains... Watch Teletubbies or something. Otherwise, this is a good film that continues the story of the Matrix. This is not as good as the first film, only because it is not nearly as innovative. People are dissapointed because of this. Does that make ANY sense? I know 100% that if this movie were to be as innovative as the first, then it would have to take place in a completely different universe. Let's be honest here, people.

Summary: Pathetic
Review: I thought the first film was pretty decent, but this is just crap. I'm not going into great detail on this film because it's not even worth it. It's like reading a horrible Philosophy book. Does anyone notice how they answer questions with a question most of the movie? Bleh. Action takes first place in this film, and it's actually pretty good, with good special effects. But there is no excuse for this plot. I'm usually not this negative when reviewing something, but I can't help it, I feel betrayed. I wish they'd give me my money back, I wasted $7 on this. I have no plans of watching the 3rd one.

Summary: JUST WHAT IS IT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT ????
Review: It is hard to like a movie in which the characters go on and on with incomprehensible (I hope that's how you spell it) dialogue. It's hard to like a movie with the least appealling leading lady in history. It's hart to like a movie in which every character wears sunglasses in the darkest of enviroments. It's hard to like to a movie in which the hero suddenly discovers he can (inexplicably) fly.
