Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
utero
Advantages: Good SFX, Entertaining
Disadvantages: Confusing, dull at times
In the summer of 1999 i remember going to a advanced preview screening of the matrix. two hours later I emerged into the light having seen something completely different from the usual big bang hollywood affairs. the matrix had an interesting story, mindblowing effects and moments that just defied belief. needless to say the film was a big hit both on the big and small screen, this made the sequels a foregone conclusion.
Now in a wave of hype ...

There IS a Spoon.
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
Spike_
Advantages: Shades, leather, guns, motorbikes.
Disadvantages: Script, Carrie-Ann Moss' chin.
...to be as good as The Matrix. It couldn't be, wouldn't be and to some extent, didn't have to be.
And it isn't.
But just because it doesn't quite live up to its illustrious predecessor, that doesn't mean it isn't the best piece of top-flight, kick-ass entertainment for miles around. The Matrix Reloaded is every inch a 'must-see' movie and with the possible exception of Matrix Revolutions (due out in November), this could well be the biggest hit ...

Dance the Bullet Fantastic Maybe
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
mortimus
Advantages: It is almost excellent
Disadvantages: It could have been sheer genius
The city streets sprawl before you, a generic urban maze of alleys and wasteland. The shadows are deep and doors can lead you to places never imagined. Where everyone could become your enemy and thought can make you become a God. This is the world of the Matrix and your perceptions will be changed forever.
The original Matrix movie established that premise of a hellish world in which mankind is enslaved in a symbiotic relationship with AI lifeforms. ...

Does exactly what it says on the binary coded tin.
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
Sandman
Advantages: More arse kicking kung foo shenanigans. Awesome!!!
Disadvantages: More arse kicking kung foo shenanigans.Hang on, didn't we see that in '99?
Considering that after the original Matrix, Sandman sat at his computer for 19 days waiting for that liar Morpheus to free him from the Matrix before someone told the Sandman it wasn’t real, you can image Sandman’s excitement and trepidation at Reloaded.
Sandman first saw the full trailer for Reloaded while going to watch X-Men 2, and subsequently could not concentrate on the main feature. It promised more, bigger, better, faster, stronger. And ...

The Matrix Reloaded.
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
jeszikca
Advantages: Dazzling special effects, great acting, Keanu Reeves
Disadvantages: Philosophy - why?, poor script, drags on for the first hour, quite a long film
The Matrix Reloaded... I was originally going to not write an op on this, as it's just so confusing and it would be a case of the blind leading the blind, but I'll have a go anyway!
If you haven't seen the Matrix, then here's a quick summary: Neo (Keanu Reeves) is a computer programmer. He meets Morpheus, who is the one who inform him of The Matrix. The Matrix is much like a computer programme, controlled by machines, where we (normal humans) are ...

Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
Tickled_Pink
Advantages: Great special effects, good story
Disadvantages: ... if you can follow it.
To some people, the original Matrix was a masterpiece of original storytelling. The pinnacle of the art of movie making and special effects. The blah blah ... well, you get the picture.
To others, it was just downright confusing. As someone with a background in computing I was able to follow the original movie with no problems and enjoyed it, despite its slow pace in places. So I was looking forward to this, the follow up.
Matrix Reloaded is ...

Prepare To Reload For This Mind-Bending Sequel
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
eve6kicksass
Advantages: Eye-popping visuals, much more smoother plot, and one of the best car chases I've ever seen
Disadvantages: Some people may think its more recycled than reloaded
I'm probably one of the few people out there who didn't see the original MATRIX in it's entirety until about a month before the sequel. Yeah, I know...just let me explain. The first film came out while I was working in Japan, and it didn't seem all that interesting to me, and for one reason: in 1995, I went to see another futuristic tale with Keanu Reeves. It was called JOHNNY MNUEMONIC, and I consider it one of the worst films I've ever seen, and ...

Its like wiping your a**e with silk!
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
jenni_a
Advantages: Its back, the special effects are amazing
Disadvantages: Its a long way till November
...reloaded ops floating around at the minute and I decided to follow the trend. I had never seen the original matrix and had never really been interested in it, Sci fi movies and stuff aren't really my scene but my friend desperatley wanted to see this and I felt guilty saying I didnt want to so I thought watching the first movie would be quite a good idea before I trailed to see the second.
I must admit I really enjoyed the first and was chuffed ...

No one can be told how good this film is
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
bagel
Advantages: great special effects, innovative storyline, better baddies
Disadvantages: cliffhanger ending, 'more of the same', too much kung fu?
...to tell you how good the film is regardless. Rarely does a film shown in UK cinemas get a rapturous round of applause to see it off – this one did. Was it worth me standing outside in the rain to get one of the few remaining tickets? I thought so. Two hours...in proper Welsh rain, complete with thunder, armed only with a brolley and a flimsy green anorak.
I'm not going to give the plot away here – I don't think my fingers would last out that long. ...

The Game of Life
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
iainc
Advantages: A great film.
Disadvantages: It seems like a long wait to September!
I had not seen the Matrix until a few days ago, and watched it in order to go and see this sequel. Now I'm addicted!
We return to Morpheous, Neo and Trinity and the decks of Morpheous' ship. Neo's god like powers within the matrix have allowed the release of more humans from the AIs than ever before.
However, the AIs have retaliated by putting together a concerted plan to attack Zion, the last human refuge with the purpose of eradicating the ...

EXPANDING THE REALM OF THE MATRIX
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
caydon
Advantages: intelligent & complex plot, visually stunning
Disadvantages: an acquired taste, a lot to take in
The Matrix Reloaded will probably be remembered as being one of THE most anticipated sequels of our generation... hell.. perhaps even of all time. But did it live up to expectations?
At the start of Reloaded, we learn that the machines are digging down to Zion, the last human city on earth, in an attempt to wipe out the human resistance which is trying to liberate the minds and bodies of the millions of people held in the captive state that is ...

The Matrix Reloaded Some Things Never Change
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
jacksonandy
Advantages: Great action scenes and effects
Disadvantages: lame story and a bit slow in places
The original Matrix was a brilliant film, state of the art bullet-dodging and new age martial arts that really impressed.
Matrix Reloaded promised more of the same only better and with a typically humungous budget. What Reloaded also brought with it was the expectation of the same excitement generated by the original – there’s no way it could deliver this, so it had to be better in other areas.
So what extra elements come with Reloaded which ...

Could Use Another Reload
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
azizur
Advantages: If you were impressed by the special effects of the first film, you'll be blown away by this
Disadvantages: If you're after substance, you may be somewhat disappointed.
...drew all of you to The Matrix, or what draws you to it today. For me, it was three things: the story behind the film that truly drove the film forward, as opposed to being an afterthought; the philosophical aspect of the film, the questioning of the very premise of what we define as 'real', and the rather brutal observations on the human race; and the special effects which actually aided in telling the story, and did not seem too extreme or over-the-top. ...

Dick Dangerous Reloaded
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
Dick_Dangerous
Advantages: Bigger fights and more kung fu for buck
Disadvantages: When there isn't kung fu
What the hell is goin' on with The Matrix? That's what I been asking myself for the past month since I saw The Matrix: Reloaded. "Nobody can be told what the Matrix is, they have to see it for themselves." That was what Lawrence Fishburne said in the first one; well I'd like to rephrase that one for him: No-one can be told how mediocre the new Matrix movie is, you gotta see it for yourself. Then avoid it like genital herpes.
I had high hopes for ...

Ctrl-Alt-Delete-Reload
Review of The Matrix Reloaded DVD by
utero
Advantages: Good Transfer and Sound
Disadvantages: Disappointing movie, fluff extras
It’s time for the Matrix hype machine to re-appear as the final part of the trilogy hits theatres in a matter of weeks. Back in May we had The Matrix-Reloaded and it was heralded as bigger and better than the original. Yes it was bigger but it wasn’t as good in many ways because a lot was on the dull and boring side. Ultimately Reloaded is a filler for what will hopefully be the barnstorming final part.
The film does deliver an excellent highway ...
