REVIEWS FOR THE MATRIX RELOADED
The Wachowski brothers manage to surprise and amaze with some stunning machine special effects and great scenes that truly dazzle the mind.
Apr 29, 2009
Between the money scenes, we get characters standing at attention and burping prophecies and deep thoughts at each other.
Mar 11, 2008
...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.
Oct 29, 2007
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.
Jul 14, 2007
If you're 14 or younger in age or sensibility, you may giggle at some of the bons mots.

Top CriticWorryingly, 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...

Tremendously bad.

Entertaining enough to make it worth the price of a movie ticket.

Trying to describe it is futile. Just go see it.
Jul 5, 2005
A solid followup to a truly genre-transcending film.
Jun 21, 2005
'What made the first film so satisfying -- the detailed creepiness of human enslavement by technology -- is barely touched on here.'
Mar 22, 2005
I can't wait to see what the Wachowski's have in store.
Mar 5, 2005
The philosophical riddling becomes too convoluted. The awe-inspiring fight scenes run too long, delivering few surprises and zero suspense. And the kung-fu/wire-fu confrontations become tedious.
Jan 15, 2005
Do fans care this high dollar eye candy is much ado about really nothing?
Oct 14, 2004
Sure to entertain, philosophize, and leave you hanging for the final chapter.
Aug 13, 2004
Reloaded can't match the initial thrill sensation in the first. What it does do is expound on the original with considerable style and move the story forward.
