A worthy sequel

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2003)

I really loved the first movie, so I've been very excited about seeing the sequels. The biggest problem with following a movie like The Matrix is that you lose a lot of the surprise and originality because the first one was so different.
With that said, Reloaded is awesome. The Wachowski brothers did another fine job of mixing action, adventure, suspense, and mythology. As with any movie there are flaws, but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. It is more than simply a rehashing of what we know filled with even cooler action sequences. This movie delves deeper into what the Matrix is and what it all means. I found the "answers" to be very intriguing. ***Mild Spoiler*** To be honest, I felt that the conversation with The Architect was just as fascinating as any of the fight sequences.
In short - if you enjoyed the first movie, you'll enjoy this one. A very worthy sequel to an incredible movie.
