Not a great sequel

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2003)

A great sequel can stand on its own, even for people who hadn't seen the first movie. Those people would be completely lost watching The Matrix Reloaded. Even as someone who saw the original several times, I found this movie to be quite confusing. It didn't have any of the great plot twists or revelations like the first movie. Sure the special effects were good. But even that gets a little tiresome in the sequel. I was really looking forward to this movie. But now I'm not very anxious to see the finale. Hopefully T3 will be a lot better. T2 was better than the original and even people hadn't seen the first one or didn't remember it enjoyed it.
