One of the obvious problems with this film is that nobody believes that The Matrix was ever supposed to be made into a trilogy, despite the feeble objection from the directors. The Matrix set many benchmarks when it was released that Reloaded would have a lot to live up to in every department. Where it fails to deliver is in the plot area, it simply does not make sense.

It seems like the Wachowski brothers, after being pressured to turn the masterpiece 'The Matrix' into a trilogy, got a bunch of stoned dropouts to write up the script ideas for them. Wow, what a let down.

To sum it up, its just some stupid crap about Neo being superman flying around, fighting off a thousand mr. smiths in a pathetic obvious CG-whore-fest, jumping around on bikes and trucks, lots of explosions, some drivel about a 'keymaster', some drivel about the oracle, some drivel about love between neo and trinity, and some fighting in some weird nightclub. that's all i remember. plot? who needs that when making a sequel to a blockbuster film.

The only good thing about this movie is that it isn't Matrix Revolutions.
