I Can't Wait for the Third LotR Movie

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2003)

The Matrix is in my top 5 of best ever films. I looked forward to Reloaded immensely. I knew that it was not possible to live up to the originality and blow-your-mind feeling of The Matrix, but I expected more.
As others have said, this film is all action and nothing else, which The Matrix was not.
While I cannot completely trash it, it tried too hard to be deep and philosophical. The whole God character and programming stuff messed up what would have been a great story - how did the machines take control; how did Zion come about etc.?
Instead, you get a boring story where Neo has like two lines, Morpheus loses the whole great mentor thing about him. You actually don't believe along with him, but get bored by his stubbornly sticking to his belief in the prophecy, and have no sympathy for him when others try to cast doubts on this.
There is absolutely no sense of why Zion exists, what they are fighting for and why we should care, which was there in the first film.
Trinity and Neo have sex, but you sure don't get any sense of any real love or bond that would for instance cause one to choose to die for the other if need were to arise. There is no emotion or depth to their relationship. The film does not give an opportunity for characters to develop i.e Niobe, Link, Merovingian, The Twins etc. There is no time to know who they are, why or how they got there. Even if we find out in Revolutions, how much justice can be done, considering that there are so many loose ends to tie up in the story.
This movie was very dare I say it, 'sexed up' which added nothing and took away much. The Matrix was simple plot-wise, but complicated too. Reloaded is over-complicated, rendering it silly and childish. I will watch Revolution if only to allow Reloaded the chance to redeem itself.
Those who have said the film has no ending, forget that it is part of a trilogy. However, unlike other great trilogies, this film cannot stand alone, which it should have.
I will not go out of my way to see Revolutions at the IMAX like I did this one, I'll just come here and read all the spoilers and be satisfied till the DVD.
Now all there is to look forward to is LotR:The Return of the King.
