Reloaded shoots blanks

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2003)

I wasted two and a half hours of my ONLY personal leave day this year watching this movie! I loved the first Matrix. It was conceptually, visually, and musically inspired. I still can't believe the Wachowskis sold out their beautiful concept so completely. The characters in Reloaded are two-dimensional, the concept has became mush, the music no longer supports the visuals, and the seemingly endless kung fu sequences appear to have no point other than to showcase special effects. If you're a kung fu fan, you'll find something to enjoy. If not, don't waste your money and your time.
