 My favorite Matrix June 3, 2008

Truly stunning visual effect. Keanu Reeves,Laurence Fishburne and Carrie-Anne Moss totally rocked in all that action. Hey it's sci-fi fantasy the story line can afford to be blurred.
Definitely Reloaded April 2, 2008
Riordan (Baltimore, MD)
Part 2 may have been the best as far as action goes out of all three. I like the story line and yes there were some holes but it is still a movie. The Matrix series is one of those movies where it's basis was more about life and reality as we know (or maybe don't know it)but they used the ides of computers and technology to explain it. Hence the coming of the chosen one to save the human race, the architect, and this reality not being our real home.
 random and incoherent March 1, 2008

this is the second movie in the Matrix saga.it chronicles the
continuing fight of the resistance to free humanity from continuing
enslavement from the machines which keep reality hidden from them.this
is not what i would call good movie.it is a collection of repetitive
and ridiculous unrealistic fight scenes,coupled with an incoherent
storyline.plus there a lot of 'profound' sayings which aren't really
profound at all.then you have characters speaking in riddles which are
gibberish half the time.at time,i felt i was being preached a
philosophy lesson.My vote for The Matrix Reloaded is a 2/5
 There is something wrong with every aspect of this movie March 1, 2008

I am a huge fan of the first movie and have a special place for it in my heart. Unfortunately by the time Reloaded came around the Wachowskis lost their original spirit completely. The only way to fix this would be to come out with a 4th movie where neo comes back and destroys the entire matrix and gets a new body (preferrabley with eyeballs). Anyhow, The Matrix Reloaded can't stand toe to toe with The Matrix.
They gave purpose to all of the characters though its often contradictory and changes from scene to scene. This purpose was also in conflict with the motivation and emotional side of the characters themselves. Further, the narrative of this movie does not weave any meaning together on a grand scale. This movie also managed to destroy the purpose of the original, which was bucking the system totally and unplugging yourself. Remember the feeling when Neo was going to go in and destroy the entire matrix and do what know person has tried before?? Thats not here by any means. By the end of the third movie Neo is also no longer a hero. He basically gives up and dies to preserve the matrix. Disappointing right? Another reason this movie destroys the first is that Neo's arch nemesis changes from the matrix itself to agent smith. Thats a huge change and might be the sole reason why this movie is a failure.
The Wachowski brothers are not story tellers, but copy and pasters of everything from art to philosophy, and this time they had no idea what they were doing.
Although it has some of the best special effects of alltime this can be contributed to the CG artists.
Plot holes galore:
How does Neo know to go to or find Seraph without even knowing who he is?
Why would Trintiy leave Neo when he is going on the most dangerous part of the mission?
The only reason for the Link character is to remind you that you that they are still in the matrix. Somehow he gets more screen time than both morpheus and trinity.
For the many years and technological advancements that Zion has, why does it look like they are all in poverty?
Why does Morpheus need neo at all??
For all the time they had, and technology in Zion, didn't they realize that nuking the machines on the surface was their only choice in ending the war? Killing everyone in the matrix to shut it all down becomes the ONLY satisfactory option when the machines are dangerous to the small, surviving, population of Zion. The movie doesnt address this fact.
Neo had no single agenda, whether it be staying with Trinity, killing smith, or killing off the matrix.
If they had stuck to a single resolve many of my negative points and plot holes would not have arisen. But look what happened, they didnt. That makes for a poor, unemotional, hodge podge puppet show that cost millions of dollars to make.
The real viruses are the wachowski brothers for wasting my time and money on this series.
This move will make you want to take the redpill January 17, 2008

I don't understand why people are so against this movie. It had everything from great special effects to a smart script. Look its not
the writers fault that some people didn't get what was being said durng conversations. This movie was 10 times better than the 3rd movie, and I know I sound crazy, but I would say that it's just as good as the 1st if not a little better. Now going back to watch the first and seeing how much of a wimp Neo was in the first drives me crazy. Take it that in the last 5 minutes of the first he could finally bet Smith looks so silly.
Especially now that he can take on hundreds at a time. In a movies I want to see things that are impossible. Its a shame they had to end it on such a bad movie as the 3rd one. I only bought the 3rd to complete the series, other wise I would have skipped that one. GET THIS MOVIE!!!!
