Bellucci! Bellucci!! Bellucci!!!

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2003)

First off, I would like to say that Monica Bellucci is an absolute goddess.

I went to the Matrix Reloaded for the action sequences. However, I am a supporter of action sequences that actually have meaning to the overall story, as in the original Matrix. The first 45 minutes of this movie holds nothing but needless action scenes with surprisingly little intrigue. From the point where Neo fights Agent Smith on, this movie is what is should be. The story gets going, and the fight scenes are there to support it. That French dude was a pretty cool character, and the twins were absolutely amazing. I just wish they were in it more. The highway chase scene is one of the best I have ever seen in my life. Agents, Albino Twins, awesome fight scenes...you name it this scene had it. Therefore, despite the confusing/lackluster story, I gave this movie an 8 out of 10. Not as good as the Matrix, but the awesome action scenes make up for what the movie lacks in character and storyline intrigue. As for Bellucci, she was a tier above gorgeous in this movie. Although her part is relatively small, it is extremely intrical to the storyline. Can't wait to see her in Matrix 3!!!

P.S. be sure to stay after the credits for the very first preview of THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS!!
