I just saw this film and I really LOVED this film. It was what you go to films on a Saturday Night like this for..entertainment, thrills and escape-ism!
There have been allot of things said about "Matrix Reloaded", and I gotta tell ya, I am NOT going to put down or knock anyone's reviews of this....good or bad. I found this a thrill ride, and it met what I expected of it. Keanu was great, Carrie-Ann did her thing, Lawrence was still rough, ready and steadfast in his belief...and the new additions were entertaining. The movie went at a nice pace for me, I don't know what many are upset about.
One thing that made me love this film to death was that I worked in a big-time computer company so as I watched this, I was entertained by this film..that is where my head was. A re-loaded program with a little bit more. Come on folks...it's not more than that and lives quite nicely to that expectation!!!
Maybe I'm giving away the whole concept behind the film, or maybe I'm just relating this to my company's C++ and SQL Programming, the daily Microsoft monopoly screw we're all experiencing, the Apple Guys vs. The IBM guys and the two guys in my office who swear by Compaq or Gateway, the McAfee Guys and the Norton Utilities Guys, Firewalls, Hidden codes and hidden program designers, freelancers who know more than anyone, etc., etc..."The Matrix Reloaded" is what I can relate to and loved every minute of it. And that "ending" thing....didn't bother me, I can't wait until November. (Here's something ELSE to consider...before most of us were born, many folks went to the movies and saw "serials". Many of those were Westerns and they ended with "To be continued" just to bring those theater patrons back to the movies the next week. Hey, maybe....this is a homage to that. If so, good for them!)
So I say...take a chill pill. Either you "get it" or ya don't. Either you can relate it on a computer geek level or you just watch it for the kick-butt Karate scenes and special effects. Maybe that's not enough for ya. Maybe ya don't get the "Zion" thing, maybe ya do, maybe it's not important to you. But its ALL good. That is what films are out there to do and because we're all talking about it so much, it did what it was supposed to. I had a great time and I hope others will too. Grab some friends, go see "Matrix Reloaded", live it up. It's fun!
