Matrix lovers will have to wait...Dont read if you not seen the movie yet!

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2003)

The biggest sequel ever, ive waited along time for this movie. First of all i was a little disappointed after seeing it, seems like they got somebody else who hasnt watched the first to write this movie, the last movie left use with Neo all powerful and able to destroy agents at will, this was always going to be the problem with this movie because with Neo being all powerful who is left to confront him, so they got around this by adding rogue programmes, multiple agent Smiths, and the Twins, fair enough. but while the main buzz of the last film was watching Neo in the Matrix this one centers too heavily on the real world and Zion, this also is fair enough. But then the inconsistencies come in, now all of a sudden everybody can fight agents and escape,in the last movie if you didnt run you died, Neo's powers are not as strong as the last movie would lead you to believe as he does have a problem fighting a few characters in this one e.g. the Oracles bodyguard, rogue programmes make him bleed etc. But the real let down is the finale with the Architect of the Matrix, first we are now lead to believe the "The One" was by design between the Oracle(yeap shes really a baddie) and the Architect to filter out all those who have powers like Neo (of which there are 6 to date) and have them make a choice. 1 Sacrifice themselves and this will call off the attack on Zion and the Matrix goes on as normal or 2 retreat as cause the destruction of Zion(or in Neos case save Trinity). He is also told that to destroy the Matrix would result in the deaths of all humans connected to it(Why didnt anybody else think of this).All of "The Ones" to date have sacrificed themselves for the better good but not Neo who ends up saving Trinity by manually pumping her lifeless heart which if you think about it is actually a computer representation of her heart so how does that work? Anyway neo then leaves the Matrix to confront the Squiddies, but wait a minute here to in the real world he can stop them with the flick of a wrist Hmmmm... now either the real world is also a part of the Matrix which means everybody is still jacked into it (this could get very confusing) or Neo has got powers in the real world too, which is amazing for somebody who was just a good hacker. I think the latter could really be the downfall of the trilogy.Anyway the movie does end like a 2 part episode of Dallas with a "To be Concluded...." message but the real disappointment was not getting to see the face-off between the Twins and Neo which is obviously going to be a big part of the 3rd movie. The point of Reloaded is to keep you from having one until you watch the 3rd movie. I cant help feeling a 3 hour sequel would of been better then a 2nd and 3rd movie.
