More enjoyable than Reloaded, but still not the original.

Rating: 7/10 (8 November 2003)

Let me start off by saying I didn't like Reloaded all that much. In fact, other than a couple of scenes I didn't like it much at all. This one, however, I found to be very enjoyable. I was looking for a couple of hours of diversion and I got it. This one picks up where the last left off; thank goodness there was no recap. Neo is in a comatose state and the machines are close to Zion. What ensues after a somewhat slow start is a great battle and one heck of a finishing fight. Not as many speeches in this one, and thank God there was no rave scene or anything like that in this one. Morpheus kind of takes a back seat in this one and that helps as he has less time to make dramatic speeches, actually Neo isn't in a lot of this one either. Still it works cause the battle between the squid robots and the people is really cool. The humans use these cool machines that are reminiscent of the loaders in the movie "Aliens" except they have guns. Agent Smith is also back and he is close to taking over not only the matrix, but also all of the machines. This sets up an incredible fight that reminds me of a fight in the anime DragonBall Z. In fact this movie makes me excited about that movie, cause I can see they can do fighting right in that one. It also makes me excited about Spiderman 2 as those tentacles on the squid robot look like his arms would. And those machines the humans were using make me look forward to the Transformers live action movie. Are all the questions answered? No, but some of those questions should have never been brought up in Reloaded to begin with cause they were only used to try to make it seem more complicated than it was. This movie was simply more of an action movie, which is probably why it turned some off, but I liked it. I gave Reloaded a 4, but I give this one a 7, it is not without its flaws, but overall this one did not disappoint me.
