Summary: A 2-hour spot for a videogame.
Review: I'm really fond on the original Matrix movie and now I seriously doubt if I'll take the chance to waste another 2 hours watching Matrix Revolutions.
First thing with Matrix Reloaded is the utter lack of script or plot. Producers and director tried to fill in this void by exposing the audience to never-ending shots of overwhelming special FX. The result is a dull movie that has no traces of the creativity displayed on the original Matrix where plot and visual FX were wisely combined. This time characters are flat and unbelieveble so we don't care for what happens to them.
Let's hope that Matrix Revolutions will leave a better taste in our mouths.
Don't waste your money in this DVD, buy a "real movie" instead for this is nothing but a 2-hour long trailer for the videogame (which by the way I'm sure will be much more interesting)

Summary: Dam this film rules
Review: I absolutly love this film. Everything is masterfully excuted from the fight scenes to the plot to the freeway scene(which is utterly mental). The freeway scene surpasses every other car chase past and furture. The only thing i didnt like was neo's new coat which is kinda gay but doesnt ruin the film. I will be buying this the second it is released and seeing revelutions the second that is released.

Summary: great if you get it, lame if you dont
Review: people either love or hate this movie based on wheather or not they actually grasp the whole concept of the plot and understand what is being said and done. for a sequel, it expands the story and the characters quite nicely. so forget all of those people who are unable to look at the movie as a whole and find minor flaws and faults(the rave scene). its a great movie and exceeds the excellence of the first movie.

Summary: Don't listen to the negative reviews.
Review: Was this movie as good as the first...no. The Matrix is a movie that only comes along every 10 to 15 yrs, and blows us out of the water. If they would have tried to repeat what they did in the first, Reloaded would have been forced and alot worse. What the brothers did was take what they'd given us from the first Matrix and had fun with it. I mean, come on, a fight seen with 100 against 1. Sounds stupid on paper, but they pulled it off pretty good I think. If there had never been a first Matrix movie, this movie would still have done good by itself. I'd like to see any of these people writing bad reviews about Reloaded come up with what the brothers have given us. Say what you will but the Matrix trilogy will go down as one of the best in movie history. When my 70 yrs old grandma and grandpa have heard of the matrix, you know the word is out!

Summary: Best action ever seen, but...
Review: Do sequels stink? Ah, that eternal question. And the only right answer is: yes, but there are exceptions to the rule. Now, is the overhyped Matrix Reloaded worth the criticism and/or praise? There's not an easy answer, since it's in fact only half of the movie and depending on the Matrix Revolutions to lift it up there with the Back To The Future II or sink it to Speed II (which is why Speed III wasn't made). Let's examine the evidence bit by bit and make a conclusion of the whole... Story - good, although it could be a lot better. And those 15-20 minutes after the initial action, including the sex-scene and Zion dancers should've been cut. Thanks to the DVD chapter system, that will be avoidable now! Characters - some small development here and there (Neo as Jesus, Morpheus' beliefs a minority), but nothing worth writing home about. Some new characters (Niobe, Architect) clearly haven't played their whole role yet. And if Merovingian doesn't appear in the Revolutions with a significant role to play, I will feel cheated - not because he's a wonderful character (he is not) - but because it'll be clear he was put there to "look cool and speak some french" and not serve any higher narrative purpose. Also, it'll be a shame not to see a little more of Monica Belluci... Action - the best directed and choreographed action you've ever seen. Outdoes the original Matrix, which is a tall order by itself. Finale on the freeway is unbelievable! Dialogue - Machines are keeping us alive, while blah, blah, blah... Cause and effect... blah, blah, blah... Pretty boring when you hear it twice, but it's the same for the original. The exception is "classic" dialogue between Neo and the Oracle, as well as the final dialogue between Neo and the Architect, which are the only dialogues worth watching - especially the Architect's one, since it redefines the whole movie including the original Matrix. You have to watch it very closely and a few times to really get it. Humour - in very small doses, the same as in the original. Trinity's "excuse me" line in the toillette is the only really funny moment. Music - standard techno, nu metal combination with a few atmosferical numbers. The original Matrix soundtrack is better, but this one serves purpose as well. Direction - pretty pedestrian, except for the action sequences. That 15-20 minutes really kills the momentum after the initial action and also deprives the movie of five-star rating. "Bullet-time" and "frozen graphic moments" are still powerful tools, especially during the freeway chase... Effects - see action and direction! Sound - great! Can't wait to see it on DVD in 5.1 surround! Coolness - anything happening inside the Matrix is very cool indeed, while everything happening in Zion is not cool at all. Of course, it's the sunglasses that do it, not the acting or anything else. CONCLUSION OF A MOVIE AS A WHOLE: Well, I couldn't put it any better than the "Empire UK" reviewers put it: "A five star experience, but not a five star movie." It is better than most sequels, and it achieves that with being only a first half of the movie. That's impressive! But, should you buy this DVD? Of course! Because of the chapter system on your DVD, Matrix Reloaded will be even better to watch at home!!!

Summary: A Little more cutting and it would have been perfect...
Review: I have to agree with some of the harsher reviewers of this movie but only partially. I agree that the whole dirty dancing awkward sex scene in Zion should have gone. It inspired nothing more than these three words... what the h***?!!?
Also Morpheus has turned into some kind of poetic speech making moron. Where's the controled cool to the core leader from the first matrix?
But beyond that and a couple other irritations, I found the Matrix Reloaded to be intriguing. It was definately worth seeing and I will most definately see the third one and in theaters. The plot twists were just as mind blowing as the plot it's self, equalling almost the gasps of surprise evoked by the original matrix. Overall I would recommend this movie, don't let a few stilted scenes drive you away, I'm glad I didn't.

Summary: Crisp, Clean, and out of Control
Review: I am very critical of many movies. I absolutely love telling people how much most movies these days are simply bad. Despite all of the apparent "dissapointment" with this film, I was incapable of coming up with anything seriously wrong with the Matrix: Reloaded. Every scene is incredible. There is a great sense of discovery as Neo and crew go about searching for answers, and doing their business of kicking (the bad guys) The highway car chase is absolutely breath-taking... I kept saying "oh my god" in the theatre. I have not seen the DVD obviously, since it hasn't come out yet, so I can't tell you about the features and all that. But the movie itself is amazing. I only wish I could have seen it more than once.

Summary: What did you expect?
Review: Ok. So you can tell the CGI Neo from Keanu himself. Ok, there are some script incoherences. So what? You're watching the sequel of a movie that changed the way movies and advertising are done, a movie that is complete in every aspect and that remains faithful to all Sci-Fi great topics. But you should also remember that the creators of this phenomenon are two youngsters, who like comics, kung-fu movies, anime and videogames. It's logical to me that they included a sex-scene. And that doesn't demerit the philosophical values of the movie. A friend of mine even tried to convince me that this movies are based on Gurdjieff's philosophical system.
I don't know about most people, but those of my friends who didn't like "Reloaded" didn't like it because they didn't understand the Architect's explanation. I did, so I liked it.
