Unmitigated Disaster: Train wreck

Rating: 4/10 (6 November 2003)

This movie is likened to a train wreck collision.
Two long giant trains collide on a shared track and car by car get crushed into a pile with barely discernable and certainly unrecognizable parts. Each car of the train represents something mystcial and timeless created by the first movie and its contributions to the moviemaking arts and pop culture.
The second installment of the series, Reloaded, put the trains on this collision course. It was up to the Wachowski brothers to rescue it by diverting the trains to just miss each other and to arrive at each respective station of glory safe and sound with an exciting near-collision.
Alas, instead in turn, each portion of the train was destroyed: first the engine of creativity crashed, followed by the cars of style and atmosphere, followed by surprise, Descartesian paradigm, Great characters, credible acting, tangible philosophical roots, and lastly, with the near laughable Rainbow ending, the caboose of coolness was crushed irrevocably with the rest of the train before it.
It is now no longer cool to like this franchise and all it stands for, or even looks and feels.
