The good, the bad and the downright confusing

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2003)

I saw Reloaded just a few hours ago, and while I have a sneaking suspicion that I was entertained I'm just not quite sure what to make of what I saw. The first Matrix provided thorough entertainment and thought provoking ideas. Reloaded seems to be an orgy of visual effects, unconvincing dialogue and confusing concepts.
I'd hate to be seen as one of those geeks who stalks and feasts upon the latest hyped up 'movie event'. Hey, I'll give the movie plenty of credit for it's action and eye popping special effects. The biggest disappointment was that the continuation of the story was difficult to follow, I'll have to go and see it again just to try and put it all together.

To draw a comparison, the two new Star Wars movies copped a lot of criticism, but at least plotwise you knew what has happening and where you were going. I am just downright confused now!
If you haven't seen the movie yet, don't let me scare you off! Hype is the big killer, always is with these big movies. Don't expect too much and you'll be ok. Oh and by the way, if someone can explain to me what the hell happened in the last 1/2 hour of the movie I would be grateful!
