Not as bad as the critics want you to think

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2003)

Sure, it has its flaws, but overall it's good fun. The philosophical BS is a bit irritating maybe, but I liked the plot twists, and the French cursing. I have to admit I wasn't that impressed by the first one, so I don't feel any disappointment with number two. Reloaded is just the next chapter in the story, made with more money, more effects and taking up more time. I don't mind, I wanted to see the story progress, and it did. I wanted to see cool fight scenes, whether or not they are functional (maybe Revolutions ties the loose ends?). I wanted to see spectacular effects, and I got them. Hey, it's not a masterpiece, but it sure is a lot better then any other action flick I've seen in the last few years. Ride along, and don't mind what the critics or the merchandise people say. Think for yourself.
