excellent movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2003)

too much hype and high expectations were always going to be great obstacles for this movie. considering how much of a burden all that was i believe this movie was fantastic. visually, nobody can argue that it didn't push the boundaries of the big screen imagination further. storywise, it did very well. tied in really well with the original as well as the Animatrix series. As a "filler" (2nd movie of a trilogy) it has done it's job and has set us up for the finale - revolutions.
Sure there were flaws in the arguments and muses that were presented, but guess what -- those arguments have been around for centuries and will continue for generations into the future.
if you watch this movie not expecting it to outdo the first, then you will realise how good it really is. remember, the first was unexpected. reloaded was not meant to better the first.. but to continue it's legacy.
