The Matrix: Reloaded

Pros: Better than some reviewers have given it credit for...
Cons: But not nearly as groundbreaking or mindblowing as the original.

After the hundred-plus Epinions about this movie, I decided I needed to weigh in. Not because I hav ...

Pros: Great action. The fight scenes if you knock a minute off each. Trinity.
Cons: It's lost.

‘The Matrix’ took an already used and abused thought-starter from Philosophy 101 and spun it into a slick, reasonably intelligent, action powerhouse that even I have to admit deserves most of the hype that followed. It walked out of class,...

Pros: Great effects, more convincing relationship between Neo & Trinity, mind blowing speeches.
Cons: Almost no plot whatsoever; it feels more like an FX-gilded connector than a movie.

The time has come.

The time has gone.

So how many days till November? You know, it's probably a good thing they went ahead and decided to release the third installment so soon after the second, 'cause if I had to wait three years...

Pros: Wachowski brothers have done an amazing job, Keanu Reeves shows much more emotion
Cons: the damn "To Be Concluded" at the end, booo!

I wasn't a big fan of The Matrix until I was finally able to mature enough to sit still through the whole movie and understand what it's talking about. While I didn't fully understand what it was talking about, I certainly did watch the whole movi ...

Pros: Weaving, the Freeway Chase
Cons: Speeches, speeches everywhere, but not a brain that thinks

The most important moment in the ad campaign for the original "Matrix" had nothing to do with wire-fu, or bullet time, or red pills, or blue pills. It was the moment after Keanu Reeves, as intrepid messiah Neo Anderson, sees a bit of action that...

Pros: Some of the effects and actions scenes are cool
Cons: Just read the review

Here is something I want to acknowledge really quickly: The Matrix Reloaded makes for a great movie trailer. There are moments of beauty (in ways strikingly similar to the original Matrix) and there are moments of action (in ways strikingly...

Pros: Carrie-Anne Moss, Special effects, Costuming, Fight scenes, Keanu when he's not talking
Cons: Keanu when he is talking, Laurence Fishburne, Weak but convoluted plot

Imagine a world where cake can be programmed for any purpose required by its creator. In this world, a 1337 squadron of hax0rz are all that stands between all of humanity and a comeback by Milli Vanilli as albinos. And, as always, Elrond and his clone a ...

Pros: The technical aspects were all good
Cons: Everything else

I think one cannot deny the awesome impact the film The Matrix had on the filming world. The mixture of slow-motion and real-time action simply amazed the hell out of film watchers and film critics alike. Who could forget the bullet dodging...

Pros: An amazingly breathtaking visual experience - from atop picnic tables to speeding trucks.
Cons: Disjointed storytelling that doesn't quite live up to its predecessor.

On Tuesday, May 13, 2003 I purchased seven tickets so that me and a group of friends could see the 10:15pm showing of The Matrix Reloaded last night, on Wednesday, May 14, 2003. Suprisingly enough, at the theatre I saw it at, there were no Star ...

Pros: Cast, Effects, Plot... everything, really!
Cons: How long do I have to wait for the next one?!

Adam and I arrived an hour and a half before the sneak preview began, and joined the others waiting in line already. I couldn’t believe I was out at the movie theater on a Wednesday night, waiting to see a 10:15 showing of a movie. But the movie was...

Pros: ER... it ends eventually...
Cons: Bad acting, script, music out of place, risible scenes, mindless philosophy, mind-numbingly boring fight sequences...

It seems to be the season of sequels at the moment. And the other two I’ve just written reviews for, X -Men 2 and S hanghai Knights, are superb, and even better than the original. ...

Pros: great special effects. amazing fight sequences
Cons: confusing storyline

I really enjoyed The Matrix when it came out. I enjoyed it enough that I purchased the DVD version. I was looking forward to seeing The Matrix Reloaded. This is the second of three movies planned for The Matrix franchise of movies....

Pros: Jada Pinkett's glasses were funny, Lambert Wilson uses French words.
Cons: Everything else.

Why ? Why did I have to see this movie ? What was I thinking when I said to my mum : ...

Pros: Some nifty action sequences and great special effects.
Cons: A lot of pretentious claptrap between the action set pieces.

Things have been slow here at Chateau Maine the last few days. I've caught up on my beauty sleep, c ...

Pros: Good action, good allegory, lovely cast
Cons: None of those things seem to connect in any way...

May 2nd, 2003: Saw trailer for The Matrix Reloaded at local premiere of X2: X-Men United. Immediately suffered from massive geek-gasm and missed the rest of the previews while searching for clean drawers....
