We have special effects, don't we?

Rating: 3/10 (17 May 2003)

There was burning, hideous, disappointment in my heart for how intensely, irritatingly unimpressive this movie was. I know that so many times there are always those who knock a sequel simply for being a sequel, and having shortcomings that the previous movie lacked. This movie, however, was more like Star Wars Episode I, than the sequel to the Matrix. Like Episode I, there were exceptionally neat action sequences, special effects, and a few choice lines. The rest of the script, and dialogue ran as if someone wanted to write a movie with a twist every fifteen minutes, far too many undefined characters, and dialogue that moved like a dog chasing it's own tail. I can only hope that the next one will be much more impressive and entertaining. The first Matrix was exceptional, but Reloaded was like a biblical movie, set up like star wars, with an all gothic cast. The highway chase was of course, extremely good. I hope everyone else enjoyed it more than I did. -MLM
