Does Not Surpass Original

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2003)

The Matrix Reloaded is one of the best action movies I have seen. Excellent fight scenes, great acting, and eye popping visuals. However, this movie has more fighting than a plot, which hurts the film more than you would expect. Also, a cheesey fights (Smith bowling pins) and a few scenes (the sex/orgy dance) could have been left out. Al in all, the second matrix movie is worth a theater viewing, but don't go expecting too much.
