"Free your mind"?

Rating: 6/10 (15 May 2003)

You enter the movie theater on wendsday night looking around the crowd. Everyone is excited. There is even some guy in a trenchcoat trying to look like Neo. As the movie starts you can not help but feel amazingly excited for this movie. Then it starts.
Do not worry "The Matrix Reloaded" does not dissapoint. Yet it somehow doesn't give you what you want. The brothers throw so much action and CGI at you that you begin to wonder why they are doing this. The movie keeps on talking about freeing your mind, and all it does is show you the same thing over and over again like you are in Plato's cave allegory.
Do not get me wrong. "The Matrix Reloaded" will be viewed as an amazing film just because it follows "The Matrix." Yet some people will say it doesn't give you that sense of awe as the first one did. You must see it more than once to fully appreciate.
