good movie despite bad reviews

Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2005)

How can we expect the Wachowski brothers to top the genius of the original matrix? The first film was an absolute masterpiece. It seems the sequel reloaded failed to meet the expectations that were set by the original film. Many fans were extremely disappointed and wrote nothing but bad reviews on this film. I agree that this film is not nearly as good as the original but I feel it is still a good movie. Any movie will be lacking when in comparison to the original matrix. It just can't be topped. Although it didn't quite measure up to my high expectations, I felt reloaded was overall an exceptional film. I feel it got bad reviews because there were a lot of high expectations going into the movie. This movie was very good and it kept me interested throughout its entirety. There were once again tremendous fight scenes and action sequences. The special effects were amazing and the movie was a nonstop thrill ride due to its suspenseful fast pace plot.
