Reloaded
22 05 2003Well, that wasn’t bad. I admit being a little underwhelmed, as many people have feared the special effects the Matrix pioneered have failed to look as impressive the second time around. Whenever things started going slowly, I wanted them to speed up. And the huge car chase everyone was gushing over actually turned out to be a bit rubbish. I’m not a big car chase fan though, so I suspect that’s my bias. Overally, the action scenes didn’t impress.
I was a lot happier with the storyline though, some very good things were added to the Matrix mythology. I’m not fully convinced by this film that the sequel was actually necessary, but I reserve full judgement for after Film number 3, which could either redeem the trilogy, or send it straight into the crapper. At this point, things could go either way. Which is ironic, for a film that was essentially about the illusion of choice. Fittingly, the choice has already been made ;-)
I concur most wholeheartedly. Oh, and read these -

the question is did u sit through the credits while all the unknowing fools left, for after the credits was the trailer for the third installment, I did , if you didnt you are not worthy.
I stayed for the Revolutions trailer, it looks most ‘rad’.
Actually, we left on the basis that our legs hurt and the trailer is bound to be on the internet soon, if it isn’t already ;-)
