Made me appreciate the decision to make a trilogy.

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2003)

First of all, I don't care what anyone says, I enjoyed this movie. I'm not sure how to explain why, it just had a general feel to it that kept my interest.
So, when I saw reloaded, I was very skeptical. It left me thinking that they should have just left it with the first and stopped. Needless to say, I was _very_ skeptical about the 3rd one. I was, however, pleasantly surprised. Yes, they could have left it with the first one, and it would have been a great movie. But, I think here the Wachowski brothers took a big chance with something very ambitious and won out in the end.
There might be some spoilers ahead so you may want to stop here.
So, maybe they laid the Jesus metaphor on a little bit thick, but whatever, that's how I like it. I think this was well balanced by the fact that Agent Smith is the perfect Lucifer (thanks for a friend of mine to pointing this out to me, I am a little bit slow). I might even say that Agent Smith is most of the reason I liked it so much.
A note about the fight between Neo and Agent Smith at the end: this was great. No, I'm no saying this from an action perspective, or from a kung fu perspective, it was just great: epic, visual...clash of the titans sort of thing.
I was very pleased with this movie, but maybe I just went into it with the right attitude.
