Most helpful review The Matrix Reloaded

  • Great effects, dodgy plot

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By a customer from my front room , 27 Oct 2003

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    The original Matrix had great effects and the plot developed the central idea throughout the film.

    In this one, the central idea is still there, doesn't get developed at all, so most of the originality is missing. Instead the plot centres around a load of mystic nonsense, simply proving a platform for a load of stunning effects.

  • What plot?

    Rated - 1.5 stars  
    By tommy_c (10 reviews) , 06 Jan 2013
    If you like special effects so much you're happy to forego any kind of plot then maybe this is the movie for you. Don't get me wrong, I loved the first one but the story ended there. Even the fighting (and this film is basically 2 hours of fight scene) wasn't satisfying for me as it's all done by wires & computers; there's no skill. And poor old Keanu isn't given much of a chance here, he showed more prowess playing Ted S Preston Esquire. Now, there's a series of movies about alternate realities...

  • good special effects

    Good special effects but the storyline could have been a been more intricate and solid in its foundation. The Matrix was of a much higher caliber than this one in regards to the plot. Still, the fighting scenes were quite good. Let's hope that the last episode will give us a thrilling ending.

  • Nice Sequel

    Very good film, not as good or groundbreaking as the first, but still well worth watching.

    Not sure why I would be expected to pay £2. 49 to watch it instantly when I can buy it to keep on DVD from Amazon for just 99p!

  • A load of foolishness

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By RJNeb2 (922 reviews) from London , 16 Jan 2012
    Everything is ramped up for the sequel to the 1999 action groundbreaker – more outlandish stunts, more thrillingly choreographed fights, more special effects mainly involving the remarkable bullet time and Hugo Weaving multiplied to the nth degree. And a lot more mumbo-jumbo. For despite all the frenetic action, the film is a little too fond of halting in its tracks for some endless exposition, all of which reveals that the main inspiration is not some grand sci-fi high concept but “The Wizard of Oz”.
