The longest trailer ever produced.

Rating: 6/10 (15 May 2003)

"The Matrix Reloaded" is entertaining, but not truly satisfying. While the action is as spectacular as ever, the second film is decidedly lacking in story. In fact, it feels as if this could have (and probably should have) been told in 40 minutes or less, as the first part of "The Matrix Revolutions." This really plays more like a trailer for that film than it does an individual film in it's own right.
The said, "Reloaded" is exciting and fun. It is well worth seeing. It's only a pity that the Wachowski's did not make a sequel that lived up to the original, or stood on it's own. On a scale of sequels, this is not "The Empire Strikes Back" or "The Two Towers." In fact, it's not even quite "Attack of the Clones." The best possible comparison would be "Back to the Future Part II."
