Despite all claims to the contrary, the Matrix sequels are obviously tacked on additions to the franchise and the exposition and background needed to expand on the universe is often tiring. Still, the action sequences here are bigger and better and the visual magic is much more expansive than the first film. When viewed with the first film, it works, mostly. |

ok the last two matrix sequels might have been pointless next to a perfect standalone which was the first; but the action sequences are fucking awesome and yes i did understand what the architect was talking about |

More action but less story. Too much dialogue and explanations that can twist your brain cells. It felt like it was trying too hard to impress and top the first. The Matrix will always be a classic, adding new antagonists, Agent Smith as his main nemesis again will not improve the franchise image. Yes there were breathtaking action scenes, but this does not compensate the lack of believability between Neo and Trinity's relationship. A typical high tech action picture at best, not much story-wise. |

"The Matrix Reloaded" by Yojimbo |
|
Neo receives a message from The Oracle and goes in search of The Source to fulfil the prophecy and end the war with the machines. Reloaded was a massive anti-climax upon its release and it clearly suffers from being the bridge between the beginning and end of the story arc with little plot of its own to speak of. In fact the entire sequence in Zion is the same mix of pseudo political waffle and elaborate but irrelevant CGI that we endured during the Star Wars prequels rendering first 40 minutes of the film utterly pointless. Things improve when Neo re-enters The Matrix and learns of the existence of rogue programs with their own agenda who exist within, and Agent Smith makes a welcome return as an independent self-replicating villain with a grudge. But it's amazing how little the two hour... |

The best of the weak trilogy |
|
The fight between man and machine continues in "The Matrix Reloaded," which is probably the best of the Matrix Trilogy movies.
"Neo" (Keanu Reeves) leads the people of "Zion" in what leads to the "Agents" attacking from the surface of the planet. However, one of these "Agents" is able to make his way into the human subterannian city.
Like the other movies, the acting is not as good as it could be. They are, however, much better than the other movies. None of the actors stand out, but at least some of the actors don't appear to just recite their lines in a cold manner.
One performance that stands out, but not by much, is by Laurence Fishburne. His performance is a little lighter, and more physically demanding than in the movie prior to this one.
The fighting scenes are spec... |

Put in the DVD player and press rewind |
|
After I saw this movie for the first time, I knew I was going to go home, wait for it to come out on DVD, then push "pause" and "play" a billion times. I didn't care about ruining the tape because I knew that the DVD pack would soon be coming out, which I planned to buy after seeing the final clips of #3. So, "What is the Matrix"? It's a conundrum of things. Notably, the Matrix thrills you with excitement and the typical "smash-bang" philosophy, then... there's the Architect. I had to put this guy on rewind quite a few times. But after the fourth time or so, I began to understand... there's more to the Matrix than meets the eye. Although the first time I found it a bit hard to keep up with the Architect, once I brought the DVD home, I was able to sit down and find out things about ... |
