reloaded review

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 2003)

I went to see The Matrix Reloaded about 3 weeks ago... i was bored so i thought i would review it.
I loved the first Matrix movie: the religious symbolism, the jaw dropping visuals and the techno pumping soundtrack. It was stylish, fast and unbelievably cool. For the matrix reloaded i had high expectations. I thought joel silver was mabye being a tad big headed when he said the film would "end the way movies are made" but after watching the movie, i realise that pretty much every other action movie with the exception of the first Matrix, hasn't got a patch on ...Reloaded. From the mind Blowing opening to the 'burly brawl' and all the set pieces in between the matrix is a rip roaring thrill ride. The philosophical discussions although a bit mind boggling do actually make sense. The highlight of the movie, though, is not the freeway (worth the admission price alone) or the stairway fight but (for me) the short but undeniably poetic almost dance like fight between Neo and Seraph (the Oracles' bodyguard) it is truly well choreographed. So to finish the Matrix Reloaded is beyond anything you will see this year (no mean feat as T3 and the Hulk are being released this year). Stop Reading.Go see reloaded. Remember this: No one can tell you what the Matrix is: you have to see it for Yourself.
