Great sequel, but Reloaded needed to be Re-edited

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2003)

I saw the matrix last night and rushed home at 1am so I can pull myself out of bed to get to work. Needless, was it worth it, well after the disappointments of Starwars I and II, I fail to be ignorant to hype anymore but I was ooo-ed and ahhh-ed through out the movie especially during the fight scenes. I do agree with some of the points of earlier posts of the weak plot fills and terrible ending but I wouldnt go as far as TERRIBLE and WASTE of money. I guarantee those people were clenching there fist and had gaping mouths open like I did through the fight sequences. There will always be people like that and always want to be those who "think" they are beyond the masses by trashing anything good in anything. (must give them purpose in this world) Though Im not a fan of it, I did enjoy the audiences loyal applauses through out the movie which gave the idea we all generally wanted to see the characters succeed here but....THE DANCE SEQUENCE...not needed. Seriously after the first literal 5 minutes I started to look around the theater and then try to find possible hidden meanings with the human primativeness that was needed to be addressed between man and machine. I was wondering if I was watching Dirty Dancing or Basic Instict...or even Shaka-Zoo-Loo. I DID enjoy the furthering of this story. There was more to this rather than "oh, we did well with matrix 1 so lets make a more fighting sequel". To my delightment, I was happy with whatever point the brothers were trying to make with psyco-chaotic-inter-dimensional meaning .....maybe someday I may figure it out but in the meantime I'll enjoy watching this again.
