Watch it again.

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2003)

Plain and simple you must see this film twice. There is too much information to be absorbed in one viewing. If you watch it twice and still don't like it I'm sorry for you. There is a lot of film to enjoy in the Matrix Reloaded, as they say "something for everyone". The Wachowski's are true visionaries of cinema. No matter what critics say the fact is they brought what would have been another cult classic sci-fi flick to a much larger audience than anyone ever could have expected. My belief is that a film's greatness is in what you get out it and how much there is to be gotten. A good film should be more enjoyable the second time you watch it and you should see more details and plot points you didn't notice at first, you should be able to pick out new tidbits on subsequent viewings little things you never saw before. A great film is and should be loaded with information and detail. The Matrix Reloaded is most definitely one of those films; it is far more enjoyable the second time around there is so much more to this film than is readily apparent. I love movies that can be enjoyed again and again and get better with time, every time I watch the original Star Wars I see tiny details I never noticed before small lines of dialogue that slip by unnoticed or an odd alien lurking in the background, every time I watch The Emperor's New Groove, Disney's outrageous comedy I laugh harder than I did the first time, the jokes are just so good that you can't help but smile or bust out laughing every time. If I'm right and that is an accurate measure of a film's quality than the Matrix Reloaded is a classic and everyone should go see it one more time.
