Too much action, too little plot.

Rating: 3/10 (15 May 2003)

I don't know what I would have thought of the Matrix Reloaded if I had not seen its predecessor. It may be unfair to compare the two movies as The Matrix was, in my view, a great movie which both aroused the curiosity and fascinated. Unfortunately The Matrix Reloaded has no radically new special effects to save it, while the effects are incredible impressive, they are just more of the same. More of the same times one hundred, but without a plot to support this amazing action, the movie surprisingly becomes a bit tedium. There are glimpses of a existential plot, but the supporting sub-plots are not left to develop and ultimately this leaves the movie disjointed.
I can credit the creators of Reloaded with trying to offer us more. In my opinion though it should have been more plot. For the plot supplies the intrigue, which in turn make the effects not only amazing, but also moving.
