The Matrix Reloaded review

Posted : 2 years, 3 months ago on 14 September 2007 03:51 (A review of The Matrix Reloaded)

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. The first time I watched the film I was so pumped up for it. I'd seen the Animatrix build ups and was just prepared to be blown away. I'd not anticipated any other film as much! I enjoyed the fight with the multiple Smiths, I took it with a pinch of salt. I thought the highway chase was also an impressive scene. However, as the film went on I realised that the threat issued by Neo at the end of the first film was completely nullified by the fact that humanity was left teetering on the brink of extinction, constantly fighting for their lives for another two films.

I honestly thought at the end of the Matrix, taking Earth back might be on the cards. How wrong I was! The meeting with The Architect is bordering on utterly ridiculous. In all, I was disappointed.

One of the biggest letdowns

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.
