Refreshing depth of thought

Rating: 8/10 (6 June 2003)

The Matrix Reloaded was not The Matrix. People who expected that were probably disappointed. This was a very different movie than the first one, the film had a different feel to it: it did not feel as "raw" as the first film did, it was smoother and felt a bit more refined. I loved the Matrix. It was one of the most original ideas for a film in recent years, and I love The Matrix Reloaded as well but for different reasons. I love that this story was not developed from a book or something else...it is as original as the first because it was written by the same people as the first one. The characters are great, the story expands the realm of movie-goer thought, and the special effects need no more kudos...the rocked. the long extended techno sex scene may have been a bit much. Great Film, my friends took me to see it for part of my bachelor party. Would love to watch it again and again. A
