2.5/4  Matrix Reloaded
Matrix Reloaded is an average but sadly disappointing sequel. This overlong film has everything the first film does, except the unique quality. The new characters are boring and there are a few pointless scenes to many. I loved the Califor... (read full)

3/4  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 ... (read full)

3.5/4  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 co... (read full)

3.5/4  Upgraded.
I agree part with Tarkin and part with Alex. This is the movie that I've seen most times in theatres: 5. No... is not because I didn't understand it. It's because how much I loved it! It's awesome! I own the Collector's ed pack, and is a m... (read full)

4/4  The Matrix Reloaded Quick Review
This was the most anticipated R movie of all time. Some how I was not let down. Yeah, the dialog was worse and it had lost some "coolness" but it was still mind blowing with Neo doing incredible things. Downfall: Moss and Reeves chemistry.

2.5/4  The Matrix Reloaded Quick Review
After the mind-blowing Matrix, the world waited to see how the Wachowski brothers could possibly top their sci-fi masterpiece. The answer was... they couldn't. Lots of action, new special effects, but it lacks the spark of the original.

5/5 Action Packed

2/5 Poor sequel
  by P. Christie (Santa Fe, NM)
The first matrix was brilliant.
Like most sequels this one falls far short.
There is no more storytelling; just a rehash and fight scenes.


4/5 Plug in and Reload
  by Deirdre T. Allen
A sequel was inevitable after the (partial) cliffhanger ending of the 1999 blockbuster "The Matrix".

The second-part in the the Wachowski brothers groundbreaking vision, "Reloaded" makes sure it has the signature fight-scenes from the first Matrix and then some.

The first part of the film starts out just a bit too fast, lacking a bit of info that could have come across more clearly. After a short amount of time it becomes apparent that many months have past since the first Matrix film, and Neo has fully developed into a savior figure for the 'resistance', the people of Zion.

As the story shifts to allow for the entrance of new characters to the story, a feeling of the magnitude of the entire human/machine battle comes to light. The people of Zion are just waiting out until their impending doom and all of their hopes lay squarely on the shoulders of Neo, the savior that they believe will end the war.

Therein lies the main strength of "Reloaded". The new characters to the story bring a certain human aspect, not as much present in the first installment. When the cool, stylized, slo-mo style is not present, there is a certain sense that these people are only human, preparing to fight a force far beyond them.

The film spends a large amount of time on the now apparent villain, the Morovingian. A french speaking computer-program who spends his time messing with people in his high-class restaurant with his rejected wife Persephone.

And there, lies the movies biggest problem. "Reloaded" is highly publicized as a two-part deal, to get the entire thing, the second part (or third, whatever you want to call it) "Revolutions" must be seen. Why is this a problem? Because the film itself is aware that no matter how many times the characters say "it ends tonight" the audience knows it isn't actually going to end until the next movie. There is a rather large lack of drama to the 'climax', mostly because of the focus on the Morovingian, and not on the machines. Now this would be fine if it weren't for the scripts unwavering insistence on pretending there's a climax when there doesn't need to be one.

Reloaded does regain it's bearings toward the end though, although somewhat depressing it ends with a key revelation to the story and ends with enough left open for the third-installment to be a must-see.

8/10 stars

4/5 STOP DROP AND RELOAD
  by R. Arrington (Somewhere)
Reloaded is the second film in the Matrix trilogy.Following the events of the first Matrix film,Reloaded brings back the original cast to continue their fight against the "system" known as the Matrix.With the machines digging ther way towards the last surviving human colony,it's up to Neo and his comrades to bring down the system before all is lost.Just as the original Matrix set the benchmark for visual effects,Reloaded sets it twice as high by using the latest CG tools to create some of the most mind-blowing and visually stunning fights and chase sequences ever seen,along with more of the same extraordinary character depth that these films are famous for.Though not as strong in storyline as it's predecessor,Reloaded provides a refreshing and intellectual movie experience and sets the stage for the war to end all wars.
