Wow! Sweet! *Gulp* WHOA!
As most of you know, The Matrix Reloaded is half a story - if you did not know this, where have you been the last 4 years ?!?! I was expecting the cliffhanger at the end and it was better than I thought it would be. They could've made me pull my hair out if they stopped it a bit earlier, but I'm glad they didn't.
The movie was great. I am a Matrix fan and I love the way the directors toy around with philosophy. They want to make you think and that they do. See if you can follow the conversation after neo enters the room with a lot of t.v. screens. You'll know what I mean.
More time was spent on the characters in the first than in this sequel. The action is far better than the first and I must say the eye candy is endless! Reloaded builds on a lot of material from the first movie and raises new questions. Reloaded does a good job in expanding the story, but one who hasn't seen the first movie will be so confused he/she might wake up in the real world ;)
Emotion.. yea yea.. but come on. This is the Matrix! What were you expecting? Braveheart? English Patient? I think the movie was very well done. I will see this atleast 3-4 more times in theatres. The action is breathtaking and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Has to be some of the coolest action ever in a movie. The VFX is out of this world.
In the end, the Matrix pulls off a successful sequel. It's far better than the first and will satisfy all you hungry fans out there. But by the end of the movie, it will leave you wanting more. Can you wait 6 months? I can't !
