Thank Goodness there will be another installment.

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2003)

Just as the first Matrix set a new standard for visual effects, this movie does it all over again. That said, there were a lot of scenes that were just a waste of screen time. The biggest disappointment is that unlike The Empire Strikes Back, and Star Wars Episode ll: The Attack of the Clones, which both were the second installments in a trilogy, they still concluded their portion of the story. The Matrix Reloaded did not. It ended with a To Be Concluded and just left you hanging. This is a tool to leave the audience thirsting for more, but I think it backfired and p***ed most people off. Thank goodness there will be another installment. Overall, the effects and the action sequences make up for the subpar story.
