The Matrix Reloaded (Full Screen Edition) Reviews
Snazzy Packaging; Not Much In The Box
Once again, following the rule rather than the exception, the sequel does not quite live up to the original. While Matrix Reloaded has exemplary action scenes and state-of-the-art CGI effects, the movie is not as cohesive as the original Matrix.
*shakes head* Poor Neo...
This film has a LOT to live up too. I basically try to put it out of my mind, it was so poor. When I saw The Matrix, each of the three times I veiwed it was GOOD. I read other reviews for Matrix Reloaded, just to see if it was as good. Turns out, people did'nt like it that much. But i watched it, thinking it would be AT LEAST a 3/5.
I was wrong.
The plot seemed o.k. enough: Zion, the last human city on Earth, is in grave danger of being invaded by the machines. Meanwhile, things about Agent Smith have popped up, and Neo and Trinity are crazy in love. If that sounds good, then I am sorry. The movie does NOT live up as a sequal to the Matrix. One problem is the action. See, in the Matrix, action was at a moderate pace. Apparently, people wanted more. So the Wachowski brothers put it a few action scenes that last a good 20 minutes and sometimes NEVER SEEM TO END. In fact, at times, Zion is forgotten completely and it takes you a while to get your bearings straight when it DOES pop up again.
Another thing, Neo (in the real world) now has a full head of hair, not a crew cut. What signifigance does that have? Nothing, just how long he's known Trinity. Him and her are MADLY in love now. And the movie lost some things about being "The One" and "Who I Am". Now it's just "Save Zion" and "I Like Trinity".
Overall, I would only recommend this film because if you go ahead and watch Matrix Revolutions WITHOUT seeing this one, you will be lost completely.
