The Good, the Bad, and the real Ugly!!!

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2003)

I just got done watching The Matrix: Reloaded and I can only ask myself why I was anticipating this movie. I went into the theatre denouncing all the bad reviews I'd heard and desperately hoping that the movie would somehow prevail in this world of poorly written sequels. The action sequences were..well..just that. It's hard to really see anything original in them because ever since the first film the same old thing has been regurgitated in every movie that has a fight sequence. I'm not going to lie, some the eye candy was enjoyable but a good movie relies on its story and that is were Reloaded falls more than a bit short. Reloaded often makes you ask "what" and some of the boring dialogue and many pointless scenes will leave you scratching your head. My advice to those who want to see this movie is don't. Sit at home, watch the first one, and cry about the fact that a great movie produced a terrible predecessor.
