Tastes Great, Less Filling and Ultimately Less Satisfying
Seeing the first Matrix was like falling in love; there's the rush of newness, the excitement of learning and seeing something new, something that has never been done before in celluloid.
It was, and still stands the test of time as a brilliant and innovative film.
"The Matrix Reloaded" doesn't get that lucky. Being the middle movie of a trilogy it has the daunting task of overcoming the "middle of the story" syndrome and unfortunately it fails, as others have failed before it. The story of the humans versus the machines in the matrix continues, but the newness is gone, there's just MORE. More fighting, more special effects, more speechafying and philosophizing, tedious and pretentious stretches of minutes where they're giving speeches and you really don't know what the hell they are talking about.
Fight - speech - fight - speech - fight - speech.
And so on.
The true test and the true climax will come with "Matrix Revolutions" where the final battle for Zion will be concluded and who will win? Man or machine? I plan on going and finding out, because it's gotta be better than this one.

Excellent movie
The fight scenes were great; the graphics were amazing... the dancing was a bit fluffy (is that all they do down there... well, but, hey, what else is there to do?)... worthy of being the Matrix 2 (but, of course, not even close to beating #1).

Say What?
If you disengage your brain you might enjoy Elrond of Rivendale by case attacking Neo in his Priest's get up, but by the time, you are skirting dangerous toward brain burnout! I have watched it several times, thinking maybe it was the mood I was in, but nope. Matrix was a mind-blowing one-trick-pony that just did not stretch into to a second movie well. There are a lot of interesting scenes, but Neo aka up up and away, just brought a giggle out in me. The LONG action sequences make you want to go okay, enough! Less is More is NOT the banner of this movie! After Neo b**** slap's Elrond and his brother Elrond and his other brother Elrond 100 times it just redefines redundant. Then Neo reaching in to pull out the magic bullet...oh, please...sigh...and the religious overtones are so pretensious.

It was good to see Anthony Zerbe a long under rated talent get a nice spot. The effect are good, just overdone ad nauseoum. Elrond take the ship to into the West quickly!
