A sequel that shouldn't have been made.

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 2003)

I went to see Matrix Reloaded filled with enthusiasm after thinking the original film was fantastic. I came out of the cinema deflated and asking the question 'did the W Brothers bother to watch the first film before making this one?'
No green tint on the matrix parts of the film, art direction which was way below the standard of the first film, and a Neo that has suddenly got less power than before (had he had the same power he wouldn't have had to fight all those agent Smiths, but could have simply sent them all flying back through the air with a wave of his hand.)
And what about the plot holes. Ok, so there's not as many in this as there is in The Phantom Menace, but that film broke all records. There's still a lot, like the Oracle's message somehow being solid beyond the Matrix.
Basically it feels like all thought of plot cohesion and continuity with the previous film went out of the window. What a shame.
