SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

RoboRabbit89 Well I have to start buy saying that this is an honestly good movie, but with all sequels it has it's flaws as well. (There easy to overlook).I think that this takes place at least six months after the first, and we get to see Zion an underground sanctuary where the human race hides, we also learn that the machines are digging their way to them. Neo flies, a prophecy is talked about and there is a ticking clock to all-out war with the machines. (Let me get into the flaws first).First I would like to say that this is a fun movie, great action scenes great visual effects. But the movie manly lacks in I would say character development, maybe a bit of the story is a little muttled, and a little confusing and convoluted. I can't place my finger on it but it's there, to put it simply they should have done something else for the story. Even before I seen this I was kinda expecting something different, you know, new villains, new threat just something cool but different. Not that what is in it isn't and not that I was let down or anything when I watched it but I'm saying that it was missed opportunities for something really special. (On to the good stuff).The action scenes are awesome and quite memorable, my favorites are when Trinity is on the freeway in a high speed chase, Morpheus fighting an agent on a semi-truck's trailer all the bad ass fights with Neo. There is a scene where Neo kisses Monica Bellucci that is quiet erotic also Neo and Trinity have a sex scene in this, I can tell the directors wanted to have some sex in this film LOL. A side from that this was an enjoyable film to watch all though I do watch this film a lot less these days, I do find myself going back to the first more often. But this one is still good and ends on a cliffhanger leaving you wanting more.Overall I give it a 7/10. Fun to watch every once and a while.

dedjuj (Spoiler Alert : this review may contain Spoilers).The movie The Matrix Reloaded was a great sequel to The Matrix. There were a lot of hidden meaning in this movie just like before with a lot of reference to religion. The world as we know it, is a place where we live, grow up, get an education, etc. This has been the reality that almost every human being on the planet knows. People think that every day they make choices that affect how their life goes on. For example, if you to go to college and get a degree to get a good job and to support yourself. Choose to start a business or company, then you can make money and also help other people with your product or ideas. Well, no, you don't have a choose anything in your life. These so called choices that you make are already made for you. This world is not the real world, but a fake one that is here to misguide us and to hide the truth about life. That truth is the what the movie The Matrix Reloaded is about. The world isn't real and that we follow blindly a world that hides the truth from us. Freewill is a complete lie that is made up so that people will follow this fake world and not second guess it. The choices that we think we make aren't really made by us, but already made for us. We are here to understand why we made it. There is a reason why things happen the way they do and we need to understand it because it is beyond our so called control.There is a scene that takes place on a bench in a park about half way through the movie. The Oracle is waiting for Neo on the bench and is watching people as they walk by. Neo, who is accompanied by seraph the person who protects the Oracle, walks into the park and is greeted by the Oracle. Neo is there to get answers for the things that has been going on lately. The Oracle tells Neo about choice and how we are not here to make them but to understand why we did what we did. This will be an important factor that Neo has to consider when he is conflicted with the event that goes on. The survival of the real world Zion in the movie depends on what he does.This movie has points that reflect the teachings of The Bhagavad Gita and the Mahabharata, which are Hindu religious texts. The Bhagavad Gita is a story about Arjuna and Krishna. This whole text is about the conversation that the two had while in the middle of a great war called the Mahabharata. The warrior Arjuna was conflicted due to the fact that the people he was fighting and was supposed to kill were his relatives, friends, teachers and etc. Arjuna was just about to quit and go back to the forest to live out his days in exile when Krishna (a god) talked to him. Krishna tells Arjuna that this is his duty, his purpose in life. The people he kills are not really going to die, but go to the next step in the reincarnation cycle.In the movie, Neo is the like Arjuna in the sense that he is ready to quit and he doesn't know what to do. The Oracle makes it easy for him by telling him that he already made the choice and now all he had to do is understand why he does what he does. The Oracle also says that the "One" which she refers to as Neo in the movie, has to go back to the original source. In the movie, the original source, is the machine mainframe. He must once again become a part of the mainframe.This is another reference to the Hinduism culture. In Hinduism the ultimate goal is to become one with Brahman. That is the only thing that matters in life, in fact the purpose in life is to merge our soul back with Brahman. Brahman is the one god that is above all others. The part where Neo has to join the Machine Mainframe is just like the how we have to merge our soul with Brahman. The similarities are undeniably there and that what the whole movie was based on. The Oracle Says that the purpose of the one is understand the choices that he already made and also in the end to join the mainframe to reset the matrix and bring peace to both the Matrix and Zion.The plot of the movie is great and there is a greater hidden meaning to every scene. This movie is undoubtedly a great classic and it lives up to the expectation of The Matrix series.

intehab786 My Rating: 11 out of 10. No word can describe how excellent this movie is! The first time I watched this , I was amazed! The second time I re-watched this, I was more amazed... The fifteenth time I repeated this movie... and I'm still amazed! I can't stop watching this. I'll enjoy it till the end of my life. The Matrix trilogy is unquestionably the best action packed movie so far. It has the best action scenes so far. It is the best sci-fi I've ever seen. Even in the year of 2017, this movie is still unbeatable to me.

TheLittleSongbird While there are better films out there than 'The Matrix', in its genre and as an overall film, it is still a great, impeccably made and awe-inspiring film and ground-breaking in its visuals and sound. It was followed by two sequels, neither of them being absolute travesties but at the same time neither are close to the same level.Under review is its first sequel 'The Matrix Reloaded'. A film with some great merits that come close to matching how 'The Matrix' executed the same merits. It also suffers from some major flaws, that make it both disappointing and frustrating. Granted the Wachowskis had a mammoth task to follow and it was such a high standard to compete with, so it was always going to be touch and go as to how it was going to come off.Starting with its good things, once again while not revolutionary 'The Matrix Reloaded' looks wonderful. The production design is still audacious, the special effects dazzling and uber-cool, very slick editing and cinematography that's both clever and imaginative. Once again the music score is hypnotic and haunting, the use of sound having a real sense of eeriness.'The Matrix Reloaded' benefits from some astonishing set pieces, that benefit from looking great, breathless stunts, a great sense of paranoia, energy and tension and, while rather underused, the villains are interesting.Acting varies with Keanu Reeves still oozing super-coolness, Carrie Anne Moss bringing strength and vulnerability and Hugo Weaving a commanding presence. As charismatic as Laurence Fishburne is he does take it too seriously here with too much of a heavy approach.Which is a general problem with 'The Matrix Reloaded' in feeling too heavy and the tone being too serious. It also feels bloated, trying to do too much and also incorporating too many themes and characters, some being not that interesting.Its writing is messy as well, with so much of the dialogue being cheesy and stilted. The pace surprisingly plods, especially at the beginning that feels endless with scenes that serve little to no point or drag badly, and the finale is convoluted.In summary, not an awful film but for a reload/sequel it's vastly inferior, even for expectations being so mixed. 5/10 Bethany Cox
