Well worth your time

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2003)

It's only been out a few days, and already there are the diehard fans that hate it outright and the others that love it unconditionally. Here's the thing, sure there are a few scenes that seem a bit too computer generated, such as the Agent Smith fight scene, or when Neo is flying around, but you need to realize that the film can't be as ground-breaking as the original in the effects department. It is stunning, visually, but the original introduced so many new cinematic effects and ideas that there's no way that Reloaded could match that without seeming like an entirely different film, and not the smoothly transitioned sequel that it is. The massive party scene at Zion could be completely removed from the film, as at four and a half minutes, it seems to drag on forever without being at all necessary to the plot. The fact that there is a party enhances the feel of the film, but not the closeups and cuts to Neo and Trinity having sex. Other than that, and let me stress that is a small problem, the movie is amazing. I would recommend it to anyone that was a fan of the first.
