The original was better, but still, quite a ride!
The Matrix reloaded is a sequel that seems to know what was popular in the original. The Matrix (1999) was a Sci-fi movie that seemed go down the same brilliant route that Star Wars took by adding fun action to timeless mythology. The Matrix was 75% Socrates and 25% John Woo. However The Matrix Reloaded however was 25% Plato and 75% Jet Li. I can see why Writer/Directors the Washouski brothers would take this route as the action scenes were what got 90% of the attention in the original but still I can't quite envision this being remembered as a classic the way the first will no doubt be remembered.

visually stunning
The boys did it again. I went and saw this at a sold out matinee and was not disappointed. The usually talkative locals were struck silent by the images on the screen, a pleasant suprise. Some parents brought their older children, and they did not seem overly disturbed by the scenes on the screen. I personally would not take anyone under 13 to the movie, but I am very selective about the images portrayed to my child. For adults and those over 13 who have had the "talk", by all means, GO! Don't expect a deep story, but do expect a serious visual assault that will leave you wanting more. Stay for the credits and the after-credits treat.

better than the original
Good social commentary, great action and a real love making scene with emtion and tenderness. Too many fight scenes, some lasted several minutes to the point of boredom....give us more content, but overall it was very good, entertaining and worth full price.

This movie is a total repeat of "The Matrix".
This movie is just the same special effects and everything like the first one. If you really were hoping for a good sequel, it's not your lucky day. I would say don't even see this movie, because it's like seeing a twisted Matrix again. I don't like it because, IT'S A TOTAL REPEAT!

The Matrix Reloaded
If this is your first time watching the Matrix I recommend you watch the first one before this. Reloaded has an amazing plot and epic fights that should be appropriate for all viewers.

terrible movie for sci-fi geeks
If you live in a fantasy world you may enjoy this movie. It deals in the realm of abstract, and borrows fight scenes from Crouching Tiger. Not very good, unless you want to tease your friends who watch too much Star Trek.

What the Matrix fans wanted
It did not develop the story deep enough. The sex scene was not needed, it was Hollywood trying to dictate their own morality on the public. The special effects were outstanding as well as the car/motorcycle chase (14 minutes worth). It was geared for the young teenager except for the sex scene and erotic dancing.

parents: why did you take your young kids to see this?
i was at the del monte center in monterey, california, and there were at least 12 children under 12 in the audience. the violence in this movie, and the dark, content just reinforce the hopeless feelings and frustrations that young children and young teens feel. this movie was so graphically violent, that it became numbing after awhile...the dialogue was all riddles and there was no sense of consequence at all to the actions of the characters.

Matrix 2 - A Poor Substitute
If you were a fan of the Matrix, be warned. Reloaded is vastly inferior movie in virtually every way: creativity, storyline, character development. I considered the initial movie a 5 of 5.
The Good:
Cool Visual Effects
The Bad:
No additional backplot or depth for any characters.
Excessively long fight scenes.
Clear implied contridictions with the original movie.
A terrible ending.
Conclusion:
Basically the whole movie was like a repeating 3 minute trailer. Save the $10 bucks.

Instant action Classic, The best of 2003 so far!
The Wachowski brothers have made the best action movie ever, if you are talking about a movie that focuses mainly on action. They have also made the most literate action film ever. There are tons of references to mythology, such as Persephone, a self explained vampire of emotions in the film. This movie answers burning questions the first one left unanswered, and raises a lot more. There's real sense of danger in the action scenes, even if everything is a programmed reality. When Morpheus did a handstand on the edge of a moving semi, I gasped for air. And the thousand plus special fx shots melt into the film brilliantly. This is a great sci fi film that proves the Matrix trilogy is here to stay, and actually makes the first film better. Whoa.

Sequelitis Alert!
The Matrix Reloaded is just a pale imitation of the original! It's the same characters doing the same thing, but without the good script, characters, and other things that made the original so interesting and unique. This is just another empty headed sci-fi actioner, with a few good action scenes, but overall it is way to packed with action. There's so many action scenes and special effects shots, and so little rhyme and reason to the whole thing that it feels like a video game.
Matrix Reloaded is mildly entertaining, and has some good action, but is a gigantic drop in quality from the thrilling original.

Another great movie, albeit not as good as the first...
This movie is exciting and enjoyable, but parents may want to make note of the intense violence. It starts early and continues all the way through the film. All in all, I think that this movie is a good choice for ages 14 and older.
