Poor attempt at a sequel

Rating: Null/10 (12 August 2003)

This is a poor attempt at a sequel to the original Matrix which was intriguing with a novel concept.
The Matrix reloaded sequel is almost brainless, as it simply attempts to squeeze out whatever is left from Matrix-1. There are no more original ideas. Only mindless action sequences and car chases and fist-fights with many agent Smiths. The ending is a gaping hole with provision for the next sequel. So breathtakingly greedy.

****Spoilers ahead*****
Something severely annoyed me in this movie from the logical point of view. Why does our hero and the villain (the brain of Matrix) have all these car chases and endless fist fights? Both know the cars and roads are merely programs residing in the brain of the computer, and not real. Why not simply kill the car program or bridge/road program or the brainless agent Smiths subroutine and bypass the chases and fist fights? Beats me.
