The Single Best Movie I've Ever Seen!

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2003)

This movie exceeds all expectations, blazes new paths, and sets new standards in BOTH story telling and FX. To those that would criticize the plot of Matrix Reloaded I say "open your mind". The single characteristic of both Matrix movies that sets them apart from the norm is not their innovative special effects, but rather their philosophical approach to story telling. What some view as a weak plot is truly the greatest aspect the movie. Simply put, the answers are not fed to you! The Matrix Reloaded challenges you to think, to grapple with questions that transcend the movie, and to ask "why?". It explores human emotions such as love and hope, and then pits these emotions against logic and reason. The viewer is meant to struggle with these questions in the same way the characters do. In this way the characters become all the more real and believable. That being said, the special effects in the Matrix Reloaded are once again mind-boggling! The level of detail and magnitude of action are unparalleled! This movie is truly a must-see, one of a chosen few.
I give this movie 11/10! Yup, 11/10!
