Story setting 2nd part succeeds in equalling the first

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2003)

Spoilers Posssible.
You can't go and see the Matrix: Reloaded without high aspirations, the first film being so good. It was always going to be hard to live up to the originality of the first, but the Matrix: Reloaded pulled it off.. just about.
Set, seemingly, some time after the first film, the plot certainly thickens, with all the major players - Neo, the Oracle and the Architect coming together to reveal the truth behind the prophecies. A wholly unexpected turn-around occurs when the prophecy reveals its true purpose.
This film is, obviously, laced with CGI and special effects. Some of them are absolutely astounding, with so much going on, your brain can't even keep up. Sets the story well for the concluding part of the trilogy. Great stuff
10/10 (but maybe a bit dubious)
