Who did this movie ?

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2003)

I saw The Matrix Reloaded and I was disappointed.
First movie was great, a great story with superb dialogue, breathtaking photography and scenes, groundbreaking special effects and appealing looks.
A new movie. Of course we cannot expect the same innovation and success for the sequel, because you cannot re-invent the Matrix.
However everybody expected a good sequel, at least.
The Matrix Reloaded looks a less-than-average movie, nevertheless with lots of cool action and special effects. However special effect and cool actions are not enough. If these things are not supported by a proper story, and they are not played professionally, everything just looks stupid.
And this is the general feeling you have if you see this movie.
Especially annoying are the dialogues, vague and confuse, like they were written down in one week or so for a TV serial.
Actors play visibly unconvinced, and during all the movie, I was wondering if -since the actors are evidently the same- behind the cameras there was the same team who made the first The Matrix.
Did the Wachowski brother really directed this movie ? The dialogues, the timing, the contents of this movie are so different in style and feeling that I suspect that they participated only marginally to it. Just to put their names, you know ...
