Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2003)

I was kind of disappointed. The first 30 min were crap, Zion should have been names Saddam and Gomorra (due to the sex-fest crap), the plot wasn't very thick, and they seemed to contradict the story-line of the 1st Matrix some.
Don't get me wrong, the fight scenes and visual effects were phenomenal!
When the movie ended, I was without words. I really did know what to say about it, other than `The fight scenes and visual effects were phenomenal!'. But, come on. This is the Matrix. You don't make hard-core Matrix fans wait a year and a half longer than it's originaly advertised release date, and come out with only `good fight scenes and visual effects'.
Some people will argue that any second film is never as good as the first. To that, I say may be true when the second, or third, is not part of the original plan, and was just made because the first did so well. But, The matrix was written to be a series. Look at X2. Not that it is better than the first as far as quality goes, but it was better, way more intense than the first! Or look at LOTR. The Two Towers was awesome!
I would definitely recommend X2 over The Matrix Reloaded to anyone.
