Not for the person just looking for a sequel (Many, Many spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2003)

In Reloaded, it takes a totally different direction than its predecessor. In most ways, it improves upon its predecessor. Although, not everyone agrees with that.
The Thing about the first one was, it was an introduction, giving us a sense of what's going on. It revealed almost every idea by the end. The second one does the exact opposite. It gives you clue after clue after clue, and leaves you hanging.
(Huge Spoiler) At the end of Reloaded, Neo stops the machines by somehow blowing them up from the inside. One person I know said that made Neo too powerful. They needed to let some things stay out of his control. However, I was pointed out later that it wasn't Neo's power. Earlier in the movie, Smith told Neo that some of Neo was left in Smith. That could mean only one thing: some of Smith was left in Neo. That was only one thing you were left to figure out for yourself.
In that sense, this one made think a lot more than the first one. The first one was never meant to have a sequel, so that's why so many questions weren't left unanswered. This one was meant to have a sequel, so it really makes you think of hard facts, not just conclusions about what's going on inside those worlds.
The second one also amps up the action. It's a lot more spectacular effects-wise than the first one.
The thing about the second one I think everyone hated about it was that it didn't have as many memorable quotes as the first one. If you want a lot of memorable quotes, rent the video game, Enter the Matrix. It has a whole lot of things we missed from the second.
All in all, together the video game and the movie make up for each other's mistakes. The movie has spectacular graphics, the game has mediocre graphics. The game has great quotes, the movie doesn't. I could go on and on, but I'll leave you this: the Wachowski's have outdone themselves in the subtlest ways possible. Most didn't notice.
