Great sequel!

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2003)

Yes sequels usually flop but The Matrix Reloaded managed to avoid that general trend. After the end of the first Matrix i was thinking how cool it would be to see Neo kick ass now that he discovered his powers. well he did lots of that in this second installment. There was lots of explanations and discussions about the Matrix, which could make this movie seem a bit dragged out for those of you out there that don't like to use your brain. but overall i think the writers did a good job of explaining everything and making a logical plot. Of course there are still many unresolved issues at the end of this movie (unlike the sort of triumphant feeling you get after seeing the first one), but that is to be expected in the second installment of a trilogy. The special effects/fight scenes were stunning. and they didn't just have one or two cool sequences. instead there were TONS of really intricate, complicated, mindblowing scenes which must have took tons of time and effort and money to create. If you haven't seen it yet, don't even bother to read all the mixed opinions... i've heard both ends of the spectrum. i don't know why the hell anyone could possibly bash this movie. if you don't like it, then just don't watch it again. it certainly doesn't deserve a 1 rating!
screw everyone who bashes this movie for no good reason. go watch The Matrix Reloaded and decide for yourself. can't wait for Revolutions in Nov!!! :-D
