Help me! oh wait, more importantly, HELP THE DIRECTOR!!

Rating: 5/10 (16 May 2003)

PLEASE!!! Dont be ridiculous. This was the most pathetic movie of the year. All the people that are shoving optomistic reviews into this database are displaying completely irrational and incomprehensive opinions.

The boring, overloaded vocabulary and repetitive and extensive action scenes makes you wonder if the director even understands how brilliant the first movie was. Perhaps he didnt mean it to be so fantastic and complex. I mean, I had a fantastic theory made of the original matrix, and discussed it with other fellow matrix-dwellers, but now that I have seen the 2nd movie, I begin to doubt the intellectuality of the first movie.

The reason I question the directors ability to comprehend his own work is because most of the aspects that made me wonder and dream from the first movie where basically shut-out of the 2nd movie like they didnt exist. Perhaps this wasnt called Matrix-2 for a reason, perhaps its not even related! I wouldnt be too suprised.
Actions scenes? Oh you mean the 500 replays of a punch, kick and glide performed by neo? Oh if thats what you mean by "action-filled" then yeah, it was "action heaven". I think the director assumed that Matrix was so so successful due to the slow motion kicks and slow bullets *bzzt* wrong. Sure some of us were completely breath-taken at the dazzling punches and kicks from the first movie, oblivious to the beauty of a plot that made spieldberg stare at his feet as they kicked dust like a 8 year old asking for candy, but most of us were searching for answers to the 1000's of questions formed by a community of loyal matrix fans, only to find a movie which spells shame.
Like repetition isnt enough to make all matrix fans shiver in disgust, to top it off they had to be the most predictable action scenes I've seen as far as my memory goes back. Sure some movies like Tomb Raider could share the title of boredom with matrix reloaded, but is that something to be proud of? If you want more depth into my opinion, I'll give you your mental-fortune. The reaction to the movie will go something like this.
Sweet moves! Damn that was close. OMG more sweet moves! yikes, almost as close as before. Huh, didnt i just watch that scene? Yeah, i knew that would happen. Oh, him again, braaaavoooo.... Ah there he is again, damn he didnt get shot this time. How much did I spend on this movie? Whats the time? When is the REAL matrix reloaded going to start?!? Thank god the movie ended just about there or sanity would have abandoned me.
If you want beauty and class, or in other words you want Matrix, then rent it on dvd NOW! If you want Tomb Raider with slow motion, see Matrix Reloaded!
Compared to Tomb Raider, I give this 10/10. Compared to Matrix, I could only give you a rating if it was out of a 1000, sorry .
