Disjointed first act redeemed by the most unbelievable action I have ever seen.

Rating: Null/10 (4 June 2003)

Mr. Anderson, Surprised to See Me?
The Matrix Reloaded is so-so in it's first half hour. Some spectacular shots of Zion, little else. The rave/sex scene was totally out of place and out of context. Hopefully this will be absent from Revolutions. However, once Agent Smith shows up again and begins cloning himself relentlessly, the film takes off as fast as Neo can fly and for the next hour and a half we are treated to the most impressive, mind-blowing, unbelievable action scenes ever committed to film. I have to give credit to Hugo Weaving, who apparently had the exhausting task of having his performance captured 100 times in 100 different manners to create all the different Smiths. Effects genius John Gaeta has created a cinematic rollercoaster ride unlike anything anyone's ever seen before. And the action would not be complete without kung-fu master Woo Ping Yuen's exquisitely choreographed fisticuffs. I think the Wachowskis, in writing the script, could have done better with the Architect character than to have him spit out a stream of oxymorons that have been thesaurused into words that only a few English-speaking individuals on Earth know.
In this case I can't rate the movie as a whole. I give The Matrix Reloaded a perfect 10/10 for action, but only a 4/10 for script.
Bring on the Revolutions!
