Better than Reloaded

Rating: 7/10 (17 November 2003)

A good tip for you to enjoy a hyped blockbuster movie, is to watch it without expectations as best as you can. Or at least imagine/put the movie into a 'right' perspective.
I was disappointed with 'Reloaded' after all the hype that Wachowski Bros. and the media had promised us. I felt like I was watching a video game and there were several other aspects of the movie, that just didn't live up to my expectations.
Looking back at 'Realoaded' now, it seemed that that movie was just a set-up for 'Revolution.' So with this idea in mind, and hoping I would be seeing another video game movie, I was satisfied indeed with 'Revolution.'
The 20-min battle scene was well-executed, and even the Kid didn't act like a looser anymore. There were many strong characters in the movie, and I wished the directors had spent more time with them. Well, I'm looking forward to any expansions of The Matrix saga.
