Reloaded but Misfired!

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2003)

Before I go on, I must say I loved the first movie and waited 1 hour at 12am in the morning to watch the premiere of Reloaded.
5 things I hate about Reloaded:

Too politically correct - I can just imagine the hollywood moral police saying they need a balance of cultures and races in Zion in the opening scenes.

Old leaders in purple silk dresses - actually he was called a counciller but it is still very cliche, uncool thing to have in a movie unless it is Star Treck or Wars.

Lack of story - the first movie was an intriguing journey with suprises and twists, the second was much simpler.

Lame soundtrack - mediocre background music used during fight scenes instead of edgier stuff like Prodigy, RATM styles that was in the first.

Cringe moments - lines similar with 'no john don't go back on the ship, I have lost 2 brothers already on there' reminded me of watching Farscape re-runs at 1am. Who wrote this stuff?

I felt let down with this Sequel. The matrix was meant to different from the hum-drum of Trekkie style films. Sure, see the movie but spare a thought for what Hollywood has done to our classic. 5/10
