Don't let the CGI cover your eyes!!!

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2003)

When you watch this film there are many action sequences that impress with the effects used. Almost all of it looks amazing and it is fascinating what can be done in film these days. I'm sure this is what most people will feel when watching this film. On the other hand, no amount of CGI could save this film for me. CGI could not cover the weak plot, enhance the dull script or improve the quality of Keanu Reeves' acting. The character of Neo has become very similar to a comic book character, and this is in no way a good thing. Also, the romance between Neo and Trinity is tiresome and too drawn out during the film (note; I hope everyone despises the last two minutes as much as I). New characters (I believe the twins were the most looked forward to) were incredibly aggravating and, I hope, are not featured in length in the climactic film. This Matrix Reloaded is not to the standards of the first film. Any good critic would tell you it fires blanks, as long as they didn't sit in their seats drooling over effects that would have detracted them from the loose qualities of this movie!
