The Matrix Reloaded
2003 Directed by Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski
Synopsis
Free your mind.
Six months after the events depicted in The Matrix, Neo has proved to be a good omen for the free humans, as more and more humans are being freed from the matrix and brought to Zion, the one and only stronghold of the Resistance. Neo himself has discovered his superpowers including super speed, ability to see the codes of the things inside the matrix and a certain degree of pre-cognition. But a nasty piece of news hits the human resistance: 250,000 machine sentinels are digging to Zion and would reach them in 72 hours. As Zion prepares for the ultimate war, Neo, Morpheus and Trinity are advised by the Oracle to find the Keymaker who would help them reach the Source. Meanwhile Neo's recurrent dreams depicting Trinity's death have got him worried and as if it was not enough, Agent Smith has somehow escaped deletion, has become more powerful than before and has fixed Neo as his next target.

Οσο εντυπωσιακές οι (cgi) χορογραφίες, τόσο αδιάφορο το οτιδήποτε άλλο στην ταινία, γαμώ την Zion.

I've noticed many reviewers stating that they didn't understand why people hate this movie. Allow me to explain...
So what's so bad about this movie? First, there's the dialogue. One chunk of exposition after another. Sitting there and watching a bunch of idiots explain everything is boring. There's also a big scene that explains why Tank is not in the movie. The problem is: we now know all of this stuff about Link...and we never knew that much stuff about Tank. He's an important crew member, but they never spent any time giving us details beyond that he was freeborn. We get this history of Link, his problems with his wife, whether he should be reassigned to another ship, etc.…

I honestly don't give a shit when people say this is a terrible movie because I fucking love it. I remember seeing it twice in theaters that year, and it wasn't because I loved the dialogue, it was because the action scenes in this movie are fucking amazing!!! Is it perfect??? Not a chance, but I can go back and ask "Was Predator perfect?" NO! but you know what...it makes my eyes blow a load all over the screen.
The naysayers are right about some things, like the exposition is brutal and the dialogue is bad, or that some of the CGI doesn't look very good. or that the architect shit is stupid, But for me, this film is a…

I'm in the minority of people who actually like this film. Obviously, it's not as good as The Matrix, but it's definitely not as bad as Matrix Revolutions. Even if there is a lack of story and the ending is slightly disappointing, the philosophy behind The Matrix's mythology is still very interesting and captivating, the direction is stunning, and the action is amazing. The action scenes are incredibly impressive, especially the sequence between Neo vs the Mr Smiths. If this was the last film and Revolutions didn't happen, it would have been a much more satisfying franchise, at least for me anyway.

Re-watched this for this first time in ten years, and HOLY SHIT, I forgot how well this was!
It contains more action than the first one did, and delves a bit further into the mythology of The Matrix. I especially like the way the martial art scenes were filmed and choreographed. It also contains one of the best action scenes in the whole trilogy, The Freeway scene.
Ending On a cliffhanger was great actually, as the third one was just months away, and It's makes the first two even more awesome to ease the anticipation.
Oh and, Dat freeway Techno Score.
I'll be doing the third one soon.

Matrix Reloaded: 90 minutes of good movie crammed into 148 minutes of film.
First off, I didn't hate the movie. It was alright. The problems are 3-fold:1.Every scene is about twice as long as it needs to be. Every fight scene, every chase scene, every dialogue scene. They just dragged on and on to the point where you're actually wishing a previously cool scene would just end already. Which probably has much to do with..
2.The filmmakers take themselves way too seriously. Everything was done for the sake of itself. Fight scenes because a fight scene would be cool here. A love story because they think they should have one. Philosophical babble because it'll make them sound deep. I…

Not as good as the first one. Still posses concepts in it but its more concentrated on the action part of the film.

I remember when The Matrix Reloaded first came out and how excited I was for it, but I can't recall if I first saw it in cinemas or on DVD - a testament to how ultimately forgettable this unfortunate sequel is. Questions that were raised in the first film which were perhaps best left unanswered are tackled here, resulting in a convoluted plot as minor details are desperately expounded upon. In an attempt to seemingly outdo the original, the action sequences here are bigger but not necessarily better due to an over-reliance on obvious CGI. However, the freeway chase scene does merit a mention as being both technically and visually impressive, and a major factor in my rating for this…

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A disappointing sequel overall with a weak cliff-hanger ending. It's still a lot of fun. Favorite character was The Architect.
