2/4
The sfx bombardment can't hide a lack of sense and substance. Go to Full Review Alexander Walker London Evening Standard Jan 10, 2018
The whole film may be more than a bit suspect cerebrally, with dime-store philosophy, potted mysticism and cut-price otherworldliness, but visually it gives full value as a virtuoso workout for your senses. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen The Times (UK) Jan 2, 2018
Indeed, if you loved the first Matrix and its mix of comic-book angst, martial arts, virtual reality, video-game punch-ups, pop philosophy, biblical subtext, romance, tragedy and pathos, then you won't be disappointed. Go to Full Review David Reddish CBR May 5, 2025
3/4
In a genre dominated by fan service, “requels” (see also, The Force Awakens), and movies devoid of philosophical dilemmas or subtext, The Matrix Reloaded feels like a unicorn. The Wachowskis made it as a personal statement. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Sep 9, 2023
They don't come up with anything new, but it's bigger, louder, and mighty impressive, even if the dialogue sounds more and more like a preprogrammed video game. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Jul 12, 2022
2.5/4
The film entertains despite its structural shortcomings, as the Wachowskis have created a cinematic world that’s a pleasure to experience, even though it’s not as satisfying as its predecessor. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Moody C @MoodyC 6 days ago It's an exciting action movie but as sci fi, not much to it. Still an entertaining film but just not game changing as some claim. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 11, 2026 Este é exatamente como o primeiro, mas pior em todos os sentidos. Mais lutas sem sentido. Mais poderes mágicos inexplicáveis. Mais do mito messiânico. E ainda menos sentido do que nunca. Ele se baseia no primeiro filme e consegue construir uma pilha de merda ainda maior do que o primeiro. See more Mark C @RT46560927 Jul 11, 2026 Keanu Reeves is a national treasure 🪙 See more Brayden G @DeadShotVibe802 Jun 29, 2026 Not as good as the first one but this one is still good See more Matthew B @RT47158276 Jun 29, 2026 Nowhere near a perfect movie, but it does have some incredible highs, both with action and with dialogue. See more Jason H @RT50328122 Jun 24, 2026 The action sequences are great. The story is not. See more Read all reviews
