What a discombobulated mess

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2003)

I am utterly surprised that "Matrix Reloaded" got a 7.5 out of 10 on the IMDB poll. The movie was confusing, period. I found the conversations that took place between the characters, long, drawn out, and wordy. I should have brought a dictionary and a guide to Modern Philosophy to try and understand what these guys were talking about. Was it me or did all the characters look terrible? Especially Laurence Fishburne! Looked like he helped himself to the all you can eat movie set lunches one too many times. There were way too many characters, therefore, no character development, lots of talk, but not substance, lots of action, but way to drawn out (been there, done that, just saw that). I swear I thought I was watching "Star Wars meets Mad Max and Superman meets When Harry met Sally meets The Power of Easter!" all rolled into one movie. I give it a 4 out of 10. I recommend seeing the movie, only if you go to a matinee, have a free pass, or have someone else pay. If you paid full price, you got jipped.
