The Matrix Reloaded

Andy and Larry Wachowski 2003

Expectation is a terrible thing in the world of films. Especially when it comes to sequels.

I liked "The Matrix", Keanu Reeves was on form and I understood most of the plot.

"The Matrix Reloaded" however felt very elitist . I'm probably just very stupid but I didn't really get what was going on half the time....it looked good, some of the action sequences were the best I have seen in a long time....but I felt I was just twiddling my thumbs waiting for the next flashy fight scene.

The dialogue seemed to shift between mono-syllabic witty retorts and long rambling speeches about what it means to be human. And yes we get the Jesus metaphor now...you can stop with all the references! And what the hell is it with the Neo flying, its just dumb!
