Weak, very weak... words cant describe its weakness

The Matrix: Reloaded holds some of the finest fight and actions sequences i have ever seen on film, but thats about it. The first matrix depended on mystery of a developing plot (which was quite interesting)and sweet as hell action. The matrix: reloaded attempts to bring more to the way the films story works, but it fails. Dialouge is drawn out and cheesy. There aisscene after scenes of completely random and useless dialouge and visuals (not good ones mind you, lame ones which take up way too much screen time) which ruin the pacing of the movie. The way they work with effects and the camera is amazing though, and when some plot does unravel it is quite interesting.Much of the ultra-violence from the first matrix is cut out (i know what your thinking, there was lots in the matrix: reloaded, but harldy any of it was near the level of the shootout scene in the first matrix) which can be good for some, but if you expect bullets flying and bodies piling up, you can scratch out that. Although i understand that there was really no need for that in this movie, and i do think the really hot martial arts scenes make up for it, for some it may be a bit dissapointing. There are also plenty of one liners and humor thrown in to give the audience a chuckle. well thats jolly good and all, but it doesnt really fit well with the serious dialouge the characters hold throughout the entire rest of the movie. Overall, much of this movie could have been edited out and made for a better film, while some parts are genius. Worth a watch to form your own opinion since no matter what is said here, you know your gunna go see it anyways. I expect this matrix will pan out better when the third is released.
