A little disappointed...

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2003)

This movie was a little disappointing for me. The first Matrix is hands down one of my all time fav movies, so naturally I had my hopes up high for Reloaded. Unfortunately, it was not as good as the first. There were way too many unnecessary characters and long blocks of dialogue. (I found myself dosing off a few times) It was as if they put more energy into the fight scenes and special effects instead of developing the story line. Some of the fight scenes seemed straight up out of place. {i.e. the kung fu fight before Neo sees the Oracle}Actually after a while the story started to feel a little cliched. I got this Star Wars, Lord of Rings, Mad Max feel. All in all it was okay but I wasn't impressed.
