Don't go see unless you totally bought into the first one

Okay...if you're like me, meaning that you thought that the original Matrix was cool, then you'll like the sequel. On the other hand, if you're one of those people who find fault with everything, then you'll surely knock Reloaded for silly philosophic jabber (yeah...whatever; it's a movie, not Plato -- get a life you nerds); or make fun of its CGI effects (again -- get a life); or accuse it of not having enough of a "story." It comes down to one simple question that you have to ask yourself before going in: Are you a fan of The Matrix or not? If not, then go find some other comic-book-movie and forget criticizing this one; no one's trying to hear you.
