Must get by the hype for a fair judgment (no spoilers)

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2003)

When I first saw the trailer for the Matrix Reloaded I was very, very excited. It was one of the best trailers I have ever seen. As what comes with every hyped movie, as the Matrix Reloaded has no doubt received, a bit of disappointment can come when it is finally seen. Yes, the first 20 minutes of the film I was a bit disappointed. I was expecting this movie to blow me away like no other movie. Every day that passes before I saw it tonight made the hype grow. Finally tonight I saw it and I come away very pleased. I got over my disappointment of the beginning because then the heart of the movie appeared. The freeway scene is unbelievable. It is the heart of this movie. Not to mention the hundred man Smith fight. These two movies are what washed away the disappointment and brought true Matrix action to the screen. There are times when the love scenes and complicated explanations get over the top, but overall these will be washed away by the visuals and intensity of the action scenes. This is truly a sequel that lives up to the predecessor. I just hated the way it ends. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. It makes perfect sense why Revolutions will be released so soon. You will enjoy this movie.
