The Matrix Reloaded is the follow up to the huge smash hit The Matrix. Again the plot centres around Neo (Keanu Reeves) Morpheus, Trinity, and the rest of the crew as they continue to battle the machines that have enslaved the human race. That's not all though, they learn that 250,000 sentinels are digging towards them in order to wipe out the humans who dared to rebel against them.
I think it's fair to say I was more excited about this film that any film before or since. And when I left the cinema after seeing it for the first film, I was a little confused. I knew it wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't up to the standards of the first one either. For me the script is too bloated and pretentious, and the philosophical aspects seemed a bit forced in places. And I defy anyone to understand what The Architect said first time around.
What defined the first one, at least to most people, were the stunts and the effects, and they're back with a vengeance here. The incredible choreographed fight scenes are an absolute joy to watch, and the freeway scene is also incredible, although not as good as I remember Joel Silver saying it was, but then, before the film it was left to the individual persons imagination.
The acting is good, they do the best they can with a script that perhaps could have been better, with Laurence Fishburne providing sage council to 'the one'. There are new characters which fit in well and explain more about the matrix, although they probably open up more questions than answer them.
It does sound like I don't like this film, and I do! It's just the first matrix is my favourite film of all time and I was so psyched to see this one, and so I could maybe see more faults than the average cinema-goer who didn't really know anything about it. Over the years though I have come to accept it as what it is: A fun, good sci-fi actioner than maybe should've been better.
