Huh?

Rating: 6/10 (16 May 2003)

"The Matrix" was a great movie. "Reloaded" was a good movie, but not great. It has a lot of well-done action sequences, but the dialogue gets bogged down in techno-babble and spiritual mumbo jumbo. Fate this, destiny that, choice, free will, reality, illusion, blah blah blah. In the first movie, Morpheus seemed like a wise, trustworthy figure; in this one, he sounds like a fan doing a Yoda impersonation at a "Star Wars" convention. And don't even get me started with that French guy in the restaurant.
Don't worry about me giving away the ending. I'm still trying to figure out what it meant.
You know, I really missed Joe Pantoliano as Cipher. He was a cool bad guy.
