Not disappointed **SPOILER ALERT**

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2003)

I have only seen 'The Matrix' (1999) in its entirety 3 times, the last being two days ago.
Having seen "The Matrix: Reloaded" only today, I am still formulating my opinions about it, however, here is what I think so far...
(***WARNING SPOILER ALERT***)
I really liked the opening sequence and first 15 minutes, however I think that the entire party scene in Zion was a waste of film. The Trinity-Neo love scene was interesting with the interspersed revelers, but I think that this could have easily been pared down to 5 or 10 minutes. Overall, the scene (I am referring to it as "The Parade of the Nipples) I think is a terribly inept attempt to revisit the intensity of the club scene in the first movie when Neo meets Trinity.
After the above issue, I have no complaints about the movie. I especially Neo's realization the this is actually v6 of the Matrix and I really enjoyed the incorporation of entities who 'survived' from the previous versions.
The fight scenes are exceptional excluding that the slow motion sequences leave the 'live actors' looking UNACCEPTABLY CGI!!!!!
The car chase scene was fabulous; I loved the Cadillacs, especially the CTS. I think that this sequence sets a new bar for car chases and successfully (and unusually) incorporates other nontraditional elements such as what I'm calling 'vehicular irony'.
A friend who saw Reloaded with me commented that he was glad that this movie incorporated the ability of the sentients to enter the human world, as the humans enter the matrix.
Finally, Neo's realization of his abilities within the matrix make for fantastic scenes (his rescue of Morpheus & the Keymaster, and later Trinity). Any of these is worth the admission price.
In closing, I am anticipating that as in the first movie, Neo freed his mind and realized he is 'the One' and in Reloaded he has the realization of 'choice', that presumably in the final movie he will be able to undo the matrix and usurp the Architect. Just a guess. I know that this movie with have me thinking and rethinking (my definition of a GREAT movie) and I am looking forward to that as well as what others have to say.
--That's just one man's opinion, Darling.
