Liked the original better...

Rating: 6/10 (15 May 2003)

I saw a 10pm showing of The Matrix Reloaded last night and enjoyed it, but I still liked the original better. I think the Matrix Reloaded is a victim of the original movies success. There is no mystery and like others have said bullet time is just old news now. The fight scene with The Smiths looks so fake at some points! I was really disappointed in some of the effects (like Spiderman and Attack of The Clones before it.) Why do they use those fake looking CGI effects when the other ones in the movie are just great?! I liked the characters in the first movie better also. The freeway scene and the fight scene with the weapons is great. The twins are awesome. I am still looking forward to Revolutions but Reloaded was a let down for 4 out of the 5 of us that saw it.
