Action packed. 100 Million dollars worth of great special effects. Expect no more.

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2007)

My friends and I had been expecting the follow-up on Matrix for quite a while and we went together to the theater. We were very disappointed as a group because it lacks the spirit of the first Matrix. However when you are channel surfing and happen to see it, Matrix 2 is one of those films that you just can't let go. My eyes tend to look at the screen in perplexity because these scenes are just eye candy. I have really enjoyed all the fights and the speed that this movie has. The special effects are superb; of course. They spent millions on them. I am a Sci-Fi kind of guy so watching the twins scenes was so cool. The script is worthless. Mi 5 year old niece would have made a better one. Morpheus gives so many soulless speeches he could have been shot and we all Matrix lovers would have been so glad. The highway chase is so enjoyable. Some time ago it was said that there were so many flaws in this movie (The goofs section now contains over 50) guess that's a suggestion that there were a lot of enthusiasts watching Matrix Reloaded enough times to catch these minor details. If you spend three months recording scenes chances are some mistakes will show up, but the soul of the movie is action.
Matrix One had a pretty good story. Maybe the Watchowsky brothers spent quite some time developing and refining it. On Reloaded they must have been rushed to collect on the Matrix eruption and didn't quite made a solid sequel. It's better than the third though.
