Its true, its about you reloading your mind.

(This review is spoiler free.)
The bad-criticism that poured in before the release-date made me really nervous about this movie; waiting for years in parallel to the huge anticipation that was buzzing around made me believe that it would deliver and give me an even better feeling than the first movie, and it did!
Its difficult to compare this movie with the first one,and analyze wich one was best, since both serve different purposes. But it will definitely have an impact on you, if you try to understand the movie and not only stare blindly at the visual-effects. when you have understood where the wachowskis are trying to lead you, youll truly understand that the brothers are innovative geniuses.
However,one thing that annoyed me was that this movie had too much fighting-scenes, they seemed too much. There is atleast one fight that could be deleted, and another that could be shrunk into lesser minutes. Its about quality and not quantity. They could have done a better job with the coordination of the fights, some came very sudden.
The movie also has minor flaws that are discussed in most forums around, but which movie doesnt? Its after all humans doing the movies, and as we know, humans are not perfect.
This movie will give you alot of thoughts regarding the whole matrix-issue, and (hopefully) the final installment will answer some of these thoughts.
Its a great movie that complements the first movie and also delivers more than you would have thought, some important setbacks (too much figthing scenes) wont make it a perfect movie.
I give it 9 out of 10.
