The Misunderstood Matrix Sequel

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2003)

In my opinion, people will misunderstand this movie. From my own observations of the sequel, The Matrix: Reloaded and The Matrix: Revolutions is one movie. The only reason why it is split into two separate films is because of the length. The movie does end rather suddenly and it leaves no conclusion, but that is because the story isn't finished. I would compare this to a to be continued episode on television. Only we have to wait a few months to see it. Remember it does say "To Be Concluded" at the end of the film. Before you go and rate this a 0/10, be open minded and wait to see the actually ending to one long story. You could say The Lord Of The Rings has a similar ending where it just ends, but at least it has a conclusion to each tale, The Matrix: Reloaded does not.
The movie itself wasn't that bad. I loved the action and effects, and parts of the movie were humorous. The only scene I disliked was the party scene, it was pointless. I think the main reason why people will find it a disappointment is because everything in the film has already been done. They can't show us anything new and it's hard to top The Matrix after it was such a huge hit. Remember it was a huge hit because of it's original ideas and outstanding special effects. The idea and effects are still in the sequel, it is just something we all have seen before.
Overall I'd give this movie a 8/10 compared to The Matrix 10/10
