Masterfully crafted work of profound fiction.

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2003)

I've just returned from viewing "The Matrix Reloaded" for the second time after a slightly disappointing first viewing. Maybe I was expecting something different the first time. But for some reason I walked away with mixed feelings. I decided to hold off my review until I viewed the movie once more, this time knowing what to expect. And so, after the second viewing, I am ready to give *my* opinion on "The Matrix Reloaded". The movie in all aspects is a masterfully crafted work of profound fiction. This movie is like an onion upon viewing it multiple times (I apologize for the poor cliche). Each time you see the movie, you pick up things possibly missed; peeling layers off, so to speak. The Mythical and Biblical undertones that are often overlooked are delightfully refreshing in this era of Action films. I truly wish I could elaborate on the epiphanies I experienced whilst viewing "The Matrix Reloaded", but I would risk spoiling the plot. Therefore, I invite all of you to see this movie for the first or fortieth time, not just for the spectacular visuals, but for the story within a story. If you thought the tagline "How far does the rabbit hole go?" was used just because it sounded cool, well friends, you are sorely mistaken. The tagline should also have the "American Beauty" one....."Look Closer"....
