Better than the original ... ?

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 2003)

I may be alone on this, but I actually think THE MATRIX RELOADED is better than the original.
First of all, the plot of this one is confusing, just as in the original. But this plot is a little less confusing than that of THE MATRIX. Anything that involves less work from my brain is good for me.
Second, more action. THE MATRIX had some good action scenes, but THE MATRIX RELOADED's action scenes blows those out of the water. The scene where Neo fights the Agent Smith clones and they just keep on coming, and the car chase on the highway are definite standouts. Those two scenes are just amazing. I'll admit, THE MATRIX was a little boring for me. THE MATRIX RELOADED held my interest the whole way through.
My sentiment is definitely not going to be that of everybody. But my personal opinion is that THE MATRIX RELOADED is even better than the original, because it is less confusing and with much more action. You won't want to miss it. But, of course, you have to see THE MATRIX first. 9 out of 10.
