10/10
Superman + Star Trek + Ghostbusters + Tomb Raider VG = Matrix Reloaded
15 May 2003
I just viewed this film and I must say, it was exciting, yet the filmmakers needed more time to think all of it through. The first film had lots of action (gunfire, kung fu, etc.) and a simple story that kept you thinking but not debating during the film. Reloaded was too confusing to make since of all the action.

The film had elements of Superman films, Star Trek films, the first Ghostbusters, and the Tomb Raider video games. Neo had to do this in order to open that, which would allow him to enter this and find out that, all the while "up, up and awaying" when a fight gets too tough. The space ships were like watching the Enterprise and Voyager take on Klingon Bird of Preys. Where were all these ships in the first one when Morpheus first found Neo? You think that the prophecy would mean as much to them as it means to Morpheus.

The effects were nice but everything looked like CGI so it was hard to tell when the acting ended and the special effects began. To many camera angles and slow-mo's made me dizzy at times.

All in all, Revolutions better have a lot of answers or this will be remembered as the most expensive "Wrath Of Khan" ever. After this, Joel Silver will need another teaming of Riggs and Murtaugh to keep his fans interested. 2 1/2 stars out of 4.
