Better than the First

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2003)

I have read a lot of the comments on the site about this movie and I am surprised that a lot of people are not impressed. OK the first had some fantastic moments, bullet time et al but it has to be said that the acting, effect, and the threads were improved on the first.
The only way to really view this film properly will be in the complete set, after Revolutions. Yes a film should stand alone - but how many people would have been able to follow Reloaded without seeing the Matrix first?
Cut them some slack - it was a good movie which promises a barn storming climax to the trilogy
