It’s so far up it’s ass in thinking it’s cool and deep. There are way too many stupid new characters (lol how dare a sequel expand its world but this is retard overkill) Trinity fingers all of Neo’s ports. Everything with Zion is embarrassing. I saw this in theaters and all I remembered was the highway scene. We went from “woah” to “ Oh nooooooooo”.

Neither as good as you'd hope or as bad as you've heard. Has some interesting ideas and fantastic action sequences (the freeway chase being the obvious standout), but the philosophical yak-yak is taken to ridiculous levels, and the characters are even flatter than in the first movie.

This sequel is incredible! I'm happy to overlook that a few of the action scenes look like they never made it past the CG pre-visualization stage when the Wachowskis are clearly having a lot of fun with pushing the envelope. The most gloriously entertaining sequence (THAT bravura highway chase) is matched in audaciousness by the plot twist that The One is little more than a useful systemic anomaly, rendering The Prophecy a traitorous ruse. Geekily cerebral, gleefully goofy and an absolute blast.

Cinematically, it features three of the greatest fights ever filmed, a fun car chase, and sweet romance. But it's elevated as the Wachowskis show humanity as a multiracial/gender inclusive cast fighting to survive--and not just a bunch of White dudes. The philosophy is great: with talks on destiny, new mythology, and a Cornel West cameo. And the villainous Architect's argument has a righteous Shakespearean viewpoint. Even with an annoying Guy in Chair character this is astonishingly well-made.

All the mystery is explained, which takes away from the mystique, in this sequel to The Matrix. The plot does have sequel written all over it and it becomes clear that neither Reloaded nor Revolutions were planned when The Matrix was written. I must admit that upon repeated viewings the film is not as bad as I initially thought. After all, the fighting is good, except when CGI is used in excess.

Think of the Matrix. Pretty enjoyable film right? Now imagine it with 50 times as much slow motion which kicks in at all the wrong times in a fight. And add about 45 minutes of pointless, self important, inane philosophy lessons that would take me 5 minutes to explain to my 7 year old nephew. Yet somehow people manage to write entire essays (with, I imagine, a smug look on their face) on the philosophy in this film? GET A LIFE.

This falls someway short of the incredibly high standards set by its predecessor leaving it ravaged by critics with some cause. The now famous matrix fight scenes are dragged out appearing more like epic choreographed dances and there seems to be another all important speech every few minutes. Having said that its still a decent watch in its own right and the highway sequence still gets the adrenaline pumping.

Rewatch w/Rifftrax 60/100. I was let down when this came out and again today. This sequel just makes the first one not make sense, like why does everyone dress like crap in the real world but in leather/latex in the Matrix? The acting is flat and I felt no chemistry b/w Reeves and Moss, so Bellucci's claims are lame. We established that Neo is The One, so why do the fights take forever? I can't imagine how much time Reeves and Weaving spent with multiple takes. Fav scene: highway chase.

Damn the haters, this was an awesome film. From the melee weapon battle to the highway chase to the ridiculous Mr. Smith fight, this is an adrenaline rush all the way through.

The horny one - romantic sacrifice, Fremen cave orgy, that part where Merovingian is narrating the girl getting turned on and you see her crotch in green number vision. But it's all about the rule of cool fight sequences where they switch it up with swords and maces. We all got talk-blocked by the Architect in the end, but once you've seen it half-a-dozen times his bullshit almost starts to make sense.

Both MATRIX sequels represent a monotonous rehash of ideas more skillfully (and subtly) explored in the first film, with dull, lethargic action scenes awkwardly interspersed from time to time (even the much ballyhooed freeway chase and multiple Smith confrontations are pretty tired). For a stoic, ineffectual hero, Reeves' participation here still seems dead on arrival; there are long periods of time where you have to remind yourself that Keanu is the nominal star of these things!

The horny Matrix. It still has awesome fight choreography, a great setting, an engaging story, but everything about this movie is driven by way too much horniness, between the weird zion orgy and Neo choosing to let humanity die so that he can save Trinity. Dude, get a grip. Actually a decent movie if you don't think about the plot too much.

It's hard to live up to the original movie. That movie is a classic in every facet. I feel the same way about the Dune books. The first book is a classic and everything that came after is just alright. I like that they fleshed out the world in this movie. I was happy to hear more about all of the interesting characters in and around Zion. I'm glad we got more of the Oracle. Pinkett Smith was a cool addition. Some parts were flat and others were too much - cave orgy I'm looking at you.

rvw. its biggest problem might be the lil problem at the end of the 1st one: their romance wasnt earned and doesnt feel right, especially cuz they're usually so emotionless lool. so many characters talked a lil too extra philosophically. i love the architect though. most of the action was meh but still dope moments, but too long/much of it. i like the metaphors it makes you think of. they didnt really build the rivalry with smith right

The biggest case of blue balls in the history of cinema: I saw this in theatres with my conservative pastor parents so you can imagine how much the rave orgy was a big letdown. If you’re not plugged into the Matrix you’re sweaty all the time. I’m struck now by how earnest all of it is. It believes its Alan Parsons psychobabble to the fucking death of it. I play the Architect moment in my dreams as if I can recall what it’s trying to say.

It's slow to load, with its first half marred by lifeless fight scenes (see the Chinatown fight which Neo just leaves after a while) and too much talking about who knows what (see the convos with the Oracle, Hamann), not to mention that over-indulgent dance/sex scene. On the freeway things pick up speed; the chase sequence is incredible and the final talk actually lands some philosophical punches (see Morpheus' wind knocked out: "I have dreamed a dream, but now that dream has gone from me").

Sure there's more than a few scenes of ploddingly paced philosophical discussions (which insure it will never be as re-watchable as the 1st), but the action scenes here are absolutely stunning. In addition to some of the most amazingly choreographed fight scenes ever, including the Burly Brawl (thumbs down to the obvious CGI in the later half) & the 1 in the Merovingian's palace, there's a chase scene that arguably rivals the one in Raiders. The stunt cyclist's riding is jaw-dropping.

What I admire about the Wachowskis is that they were willing (after the success of 'The Matrix') to make quite a stylistically and thematically different film with this sequel. Admittedly, why they were willing, they were not able to pull it off. In many ways, this is a philosophically superior film to the first instalment; it thoughtfully and provocatively explores destiny (i.e. casualty), desire (in particular sexual desire) and man's fusion with machines (i.e. exosomatization).

Out of the original trilogy, this movie has the weakest story of them all, and probably the best action, so it's really difficult to judge this. Ultimately, while the action is entertaining, a lot of it leaves me wondering why exactly this stuff is happening. Overall there seem to be only a few small scenes that have any significant importance to the story. Some of the CGI (especially the Burly Brawl) doesn't hold up like it does with the other movies, as well. Still entertaining.

A bigger, shallower, more linear, and less surprising outing than the first, with more ambitious effects that are ultimately the worst of its efforts. Its central drive fails to connect, leaving the attack on Zion feeling unthreatening and the quest for the Source weirdly unnecessary - but the residue of its philosophical coding and a few stylish moments of action keep it watchable.

The first of the Matrix sequels is actually a fairly competent film on its own. The sex scene was unnecessary and the Neo vs Agent Smiths fight was poorly handled, but otherwise this movie is surprisingly good. Outside of the matrix there were some not great scenes, but this has 2 of the best action scenes I have seen. The biggest issue is that this relies so much on the third film which is very bad, but on its own its still rather good.

Not nearly on par with the original, but those unfair comparisons miss the point of the Matrix Reloaded. It wasn't about the brilliantly crafted storyline, it was about how they could manage to top what they accomplished in the first movie, which of course, they couldn't. Other than that, I found it to be a better than average action flick, with a lot of cool effects and a competent continuation of the storyline.

Upon recent viewing, I can't help but consider myself a Matrix fan, which is the only thinkable explanation for my desire to put myself through this mess again. It's so stylistically unique and most of the action is superb; hell, even the themes aren't completely terrible. But for some unfathomable reason the Wachowskis saw fit to mire their trilogy in contrivance, with "exiled" programs, multiple unrelated villains, and unnecessary explanations. Keep it simple, silly.

Suffers slightly from being the middle part in a trilogy of connected stories. I loved the worldbuilding and some of the deeper themes, but I feel the abundance of (long) action sequences caused the pacing to be a bit off and the film longer than it needed to be. If parts of those action scenes were replaced by more worldbuilding and philosophical discussions, it also would have worked. As it stands it's still good sci-fi, and I love seeing Neo as a sort of Superman, but could have been better.

With heaps of blue pills, the red pill is well obscured. The philosophy that made the Matrix great is still there, just buried in some truly awesome special effects. Reloaded doesn't try to develop a plot, that was what the first movie was for. Instead this movie is just an adventure to unearth more plot, they don't really find it, but it does have a long montage of conflicts being resolved with violence. Then, when enough people die, the mystery solves itself.

This isn't that atrocious but it is so far below in quality from the first Matrix that it's a huge letdown. The main draw here seems to be CGI with the Wachowskis splashing effects over everything with more CGI slo-mo, more excessive bullet time, and more explosions. The new characters we see are just a rehash of what we know already. The "twist" we learn at the end is just silly. Completely dull acting by everyone involved and the dumbest looking white dreadlocked villains ever.

A massive letdown, barely a decent watch and in stark contrast to the stellar first instalment. Action scenes are still as good as ever, but the plotline grates early on due with terrible dialogue and confounding explanation of what is actually happening. The Wachowski brothers probably had some ideas over where they'd take the trilogy, but utterly fail to transcribe any of their ideas effectively. There are still some nice sequences though, just don't expect any foundations to go with them.

I'll admit it: I'm a Reloaded apologist. Yes, the Zion stuff is bizarrely bad, the dialogue is boringly bad, and the CGI is shockingly bad. Once you get past that, you actually get a decent Matrix sequel that has some interesting ways of challenging the first film and its surface-level philosophies. The action is inconsistent this time around but the major set-piece, the highway chase, is still one of the best action sequences I have ever seen and the high point for this series.

Unpopular opinion, but this is the weakest of the trilogy. The beginning sets up the setting & characters of the sequels and the finale explains the philosophical themes of the entire trilogy, but between the two is 1 hour plus of CGI action filler. It's still more ambitious than 99% of blockbuster films, but the script really could've used more massaging and drafts to streamline and de-clutter all the different idea the Wachowskis wanted to explore. +2 points for the sewer orgy.

The Matrix Reloaded is a terrific follow-up to one of the most influential movies ever.

It has more to live up to than perhaps any sequel ever made. Noone expects it to succeed, but what one does expect is that it TRIES to succed. It does not. It looks like a Matrix movie, but don't be fooled, it's simply a mediocre action flick draped in the slick, cool universe of Matrix. The action sequences are still awesome, the special effects kick ass, and it's well worth a watch for these aspects. Other than that, it's not very notable.
