If you're 14 or younger in age or sensibility, you may giggle at some of the bons mots.
I liked this movie and can recommend it with a clear critical conscience, but it never moved me even half as much as Steven Spielberg's A.I.
A sadder, wiser, more grown-up movie than its predecessor.
In the face of almost unbearable expectations, the Wachowski brothers deliver a sequel that soars to places only hinted at in the original.
You don't have to buy into the geeky mythmaking in The Matrix Reloaded in order to enjoy its kinetic pleasures.
Early in the movie, Morpheus warns a new character that he's got to have faith. All things considered, The Matrix Reloaded justifies that faith.
Electrifying but still violent 2nd in trilogy.
The encoded bloom is off the digital rose in The Matrix Reloaded. [Blu-ray]
Offers some phenomenal action sequences that more than deliver on the jaw-dropping promise shown on the trailers.
The Wachowski brothers manage to surprise and amaze with some stunning machine special effects and great scenes that truly dazzle the mind.
...well made and entertaining even if it tends to become more than a little static along the way with all its similarly constructed battle scenes. (Blu-ray Edition)
Between the money scenes, we get characters standing at attention and burping prophecies and deep thoughts at each other.
...less a narrative than an advertisement for a cultural wave. It's all about discount Zen and black clothes, the commodification of sterile violence as Kabuki.
As a movie, its pacing is off, its characters are thin and its plot is...well, questionable at best. But as a science-fiction phenomenon, it is art.
Worryingly, the longer this movie goes on, the harder it is to care.
The Matrix Reloaded -- not unlike its predecessor -- might be hard to swallow, but it's so delicious you just can't help but want more.
Now if I can just make it until November to see how those loose ends tie up...
Entertaining enough to make it worth the price of a movie ticket.
Trying to describe it is futile. Just go see it.
A solid followup to a truly genre-transcending film.
