Reloaded or Overloaded?

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2003)

The original Matrix was a masterpiece; Amazing and innovative special effects with a dazzling scenario. I cannot say the same for the sequel. Special effects are still great and very impressive, but somehow Reloaded lacks in storyline and dialogues. They did too much; too much action scenes without an intimate bond to the plot and near never-ending dialogues about philosophy, humanity. The original Matrix was more subtile on that last point. The movie is still worth seeing, no doubt about it, but the feeling will not be the same.
