Yet Another Matrix Reloaded Review

As for the action and special effects it was definitely uncharted territory as there things in this movie that we have not seen before and perhaps are unlikely to see again. The fight in the park with 1,000 Agent Smiths and the freeway chase scene are particular standouts. The fight scenes are well thought out and planned and there are special effects in this movie that will leave you with your mouth wide open. I don't expect anyone will be disappointed with the action of The Matrix Reloaded.

However there were a few things in the movie that were a bit disappointing. One of the scenes in Zion which I will call the Matrix Rave I didn't understand it when I was watching it and I don't understand it know, but I found it pretty ridiculous and definitely way too long. To me if I wanted to watch a bunch of naked people dancing around in a cave I wouldn't watch the matrix. Also, the CGI Neo was a bit of a disappointment I generally like CGI when its done well, but there were points in the movie when our hero looked like a cartoon that was strange. There was a fight scene or two that dragged as well, but overall these few are far between and easily overlooked.

Overall, The Matrix Reloaded was worth the hype and for the most part up to the expectations established by its predecessor, and the end of the movie will certainly have you asking some questions. Just like the greatest sequel ever The Empire Strikes Back.

This review written by Sean Gleason who got to see this movie before you did. Sean is a contributor to the wonderful mess I call Buzzgrinder.

The Matrix Rave was to show human unihibition based on the presumption that that the Matrix is symbolic of our world and our human nature. If the Matrix is also based on religion could it not be a "last supper" in effect? The people of Zion know challanges are ahead yet have one last gathering with all present?

There were extremely excellent scenes in the movie "The Empire Strikes Back".
Good originality and great imagination in this movie!
I'm very interested in science fiction movies.
