First half crap... Second half: brilliant!

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2003)

Reloaded is kind of two movies in one (where Reloaded en Revolutions are one movie in two parts, you follow me..?!). I'll explain. The first part of Reloaded is very slow. Thin story. So-so effects. But it probably is used to set the stage for the second part (and for Revolutions obviously). And that second part can compare itself to the original. Fast paced, strong story twists and, indeed, great special effects. All-in-all, it should/could have been better. 'Deleted scenes' is what springs to mind during the first 45 minutes, and that's a shame. The second part makes up for a lot and lets hope that Revolutions will be alike.
