Spoof

Rating: 1/10 (16 May 2003)

Was this a SPOOF? It was like a sci-fi/action high budget C movie (worse)! I thought the first Matrix was one of the most intelligent and philosophical films of our time, but Reloaded was a joke. Out of respect for the first one, I was actually preparing myself not to expect too much. 30 minutes passed and indeed I was starting to get disappointed; so I thought I should give it a chance, it would probably get better after a few more scenes -- didn't happen. All I got was horrible and predictable dialogue, "what the #@*!/we get the point" action scenes, poor editing, and a plot that seemed to have been thought over half a coffee break. So what other qualities of a film are left? Well, no comment on acting. Ok, SFX could be commendable. Sad, special effects could be the death of good movies. 2/10. FYI Matrix 1 > 9/10
