A trashy movie.

Rating: 4/10 (25 May 2003)

This movie sucked. About 15 minutes into it i was asked how i rated the movie so far. i said about 2, then i saw that underground clubbing scene (right after morpheus' horrible non-inspirational speech), you know, the dance party in zion, and i halved my score. The movie was lucky to receive a 4 in the end. The only things saving it being that mad french man, the orgasmic cake and the crazy bike scene. The fight scene with the 100 agent smith's just went on and on, if i wanted to see karate, i would hire out a jackie chan film... because at least he knows when to stop. If i wanted to see a giant party, i would have gone to a club. Bullet time was used far too much in this film too, thus making it crap. And the movie was not paced well. I wanted to fall asleep towards the middle. I rated this movie on par with "Bulletproof Monk" - aptly described as the best one star film of the year in some magazine. The philosophical babble was overdone in parts too. The first move was brilliant, but "Reloaded" was a shocker. Even the title sounded a bit corny. I'm sure "Revolutions" will be better though, because it won't be hard to beat this film, but i doubt it will be as good as the first movie. I don't think the third movie can really be a loser. If it is good, it will allow the series to remain credible, and if it is a flop, well, at least we know that the saga is over...
