My review of "The Matrix Reloaded"

[dusken]

I just saw this movie a few nights ago. It was on late at night and I was bored.

The Matrix Reloaded With Crap:

This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. A jumbled mess of a screenplay, terrible pacing, visually boring, and the story was flaccid and unimaginative. All of the fighting scenes were tedious, long and repetitive. The story and the dialogue were so forced I felt like I swallowed a stick of butter. Its visual style was not even consistent. It was choppy and uneven. There were so many visual effects that I felt I was watching an animated film... and not even a good one. "The Matrix Reloaded" is what happens when a couple of infants get a hold of a lot of money. Amateurish garbage. The Whackowski's should not be allowed near and camera or a computer as a result of this fecal "film".

Your movie reviews are about as insightful as a woodpecker attempting to paint squares.

I, too, was EXTREMELY dissapointed by the sequel and threequel (if you didn't like Reloaded, you'll rather eat a bullet than see Revolutions). It's like they were making up the plot as they go along. Visually, I didn't mind it, but the fight scenes WERE needlessly extended (10 minutes against 100 Agent Smiths just to fly away at the end? WHY THE HELL DIDN'T HE DO THAT TO START WITH?!). I still remember the feeling the first time I saw it at the theater. I didn't leave while the credits rolled. I just sat there, shocked and pissed off that this was it. How could it be? There was so much potential with the original, and how could the Wachowski brothers of all people (being the perfectionists they are) botch this up??? Way too much of a religious undertone (look at Smith's license plate when he pulls up towards the beginning to tell Neo he "set him free") in the follow up movies. Oh well, another potential theatrical great fallen victim to commercialization.

The license plate does not bother me as much as the idea of saving Zion. Phuck Zion.

Yes I was very dissapointed in the movies, after the first one I was expecting great things.

The second matrix was dissapointing except for the highway scene, which was great. Matrix 3 was true crap.

Well, the license plate was just a scratch in the surface. The biblical references are endless, and annoying. It's like a sci-fi version of the bible.

*By the way, this is your spoiler if you haven't seen Revolutions*

I did love the choreography of the fight scenes in ALL the movies (except for the length of them in II). I think what bothered me the most with part III is that they crammed so much in to II, and then III seemed so drawn out because they didn't have much left to explain. Just prepare for the show downs (Zion and Neo vs. Smith). I suspect we'll see a part IV some time in the distant future. They certainly left an opening for it with no explaination as to what happened to Neo (plus when the girl asks the Oracle if we'll ever see Neo again, she says "ohh, I suspect so"). Not to mention, everybody else came back to the Matrix after the Smith virus was destroyed from them. Why would Neo only die, then? Well, they ruined the story for me anyways, so I really don't care if there's another one.

The story should have just stopped with the first movie, which was fun but in no way brilliant.

Crimson, I agree with that fight scene. He fights 100 agent Smith's for 10 minutes, then just flys away?!

What does the license plate say?

I haven't seen Revolutions, probably won't until they release the 3 set DVD which I'll buy just to have it.

What does the license plate say?

His license plate reads "IS 5416". In the King James Bible, Isaiah 54:16 says: "Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have the waster to destoy".
