A very well done movie but could have been done better

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2003)

I am a big fan of "The Matrix" and I have been looking forward to this movie for a long time. Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed. I really enjoyed this movie but there are a few things that didn't need to be in the movie. In my opinion the movie could have entirely done without the dance and sex scenes. Neither of them really contribute to the story and take up much time that the movie is lacking later on. The dance scene is completely useless and didn't catch my eye at all. I think it took up to much time but I will get to that later on. The sex scene I can understand a bit more because it shows the love between Neo and Trinity which plays a part in the movie later on. But like the dance scene, it did absolutely nothing to the plot of the movie. A major reason I liked the first Matrix so much is because of the story. It was so interesting to me and I hope Reloaded might top the first. Unfortunately, Reloaded did not top "The Matrix" simply because the story is very choppy near the end. The point I was getting at before is those two scenes dramatically took up movie time and the climax of the movie was shortened because of it. The scene in the movie where they have to blow up the power plant and Neo has to go to the core of the Matrix is extremely choppy. I think that was the high point of the story and it disappointed me simply because previous scenes shortened the time it had in the movie. Well, not every movie can be perfect but Reloaded nonetheless is very good.
Now for the action in the movie. MIND-BOGGLING!!! That's all I can say. The fight scenes and car chase are simply top notch. What I loved about these scenes are their length. Short action sequences leave me feeling empty. I liked the twins but they really didn't have much of a part in the movie. If their part could have increased in the movie that would have been great. Overall I give this movie an 8/10. It would have gotten a 10/10 if it weren't for silly scenes that shortened the plot of the movie. I really enjoyed this movie and I hope you do as well.
