Critics Consensus

Though its heady themes are a departure from its predecessor, The Matrix Reloaded is a worthy sequel packed with popcorn-friendly thrills.

The sfx bombardment can't hide a lack of sense and substance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nowhere near a perfect movie, but it does have some incredible highs, both with action and with dialogue.

The action sequences are great. The story is not.

This is one example of what a real movie looks like. Where the hero of the movie actually acts like he knows what he's doing.
