The best review you'll read today... - The Matrix Reloaded Reviews

The Matrix Reloaded is possibly the biggest disapointment in film this year. There was no way a film of this bog-standard could live up to its pre-release hype, which is exactly why so many matrix fans or filmgoers were disapointed. The plot itself is actually quite good, but poor execution means that the film flawed in this area. The first part of the film is ridiculously slow and will leave you waiting for the film to pick up. It finally picks up with an outrageously over-the-top fight sequence - which is entertaining, don't get me wrong, but completley irrelevant to the mood of the film. Of course, like all summer blockbusters, this film has more pyro and explosions than bonfire night. Keeps you awake, but you never feel like your gripping the story and as soon as these moments are over, your always waiting for the next one and it continues in that same pattern. There are also pointless scenes in the film. One of these is most notably when there is a man standing in some kind of strange robotic mechanism, which seemingly has no relevance or connection to the characters or film at all, and indeed, it does not. I think money, would most certainly have been wasted on these scenes. In a nutshell, visually stunning, but provides little else. A shame that the original 'Matrix' was spoiled by this excremental product. Way too slow in places and just generally disapointing. I wish they had made this film better and thier big mistake was to make 'The Matrix Revolutions' before doing any market research so i fear that they will not improve on thier mistakes and that Revolutions will also be another disapointment. We'll wait and see.
