Anyone who gave this flick a '10' is lying.

Rating: 4/10 (18 May 2003)

This film was, without question, a complete and utter turd. Poorly acted which is to be expected from Mr. Reeves but Moss and Fishborne can do better. The story, as many of you who haven't seen the film yet are half expecting, is nothing like the original mind-freeing concept of matrix 1. The special effects while more advanced technically than the film's predecessor seemed rather lack luster to me. Reloaded's fight scenes come off as gratuitous and contrived, whereas matrix 1's fight scences and explosions were intricately woven into its mind-blowing plot. This is a great example of a fantastic movie that wasn't meant for sequels forced into a trilogy that can only make feeble attempts at recreating the success of the one that started it all. My take, skip reloaded and revolutions and just keep on watching the real Matrix.
