Don't Read

I went yesterday.

Remove the very cool effects (most of which were simply taken from the first) and this movie blows monkey chunks.

The entire time spent in Zion was terrible, the rave had absolutely no use except to give the puberty crowd something to spark an over active sex drive.

The love scene with Neo and Trinity had no bearing on the story, and they seem to have forgotten that they removed the electrodes from Neo's back in the first movie. (Besides which, I don't think anyone over there gets the fact that without the leather suit and cool moves there is nothing sexy about Trinity)

The Oracle lent nothing to the story, as did the totaly gratuitous orgasm cake. The guys girlfriend wanting a kiss from Neo could only have been to fulfill a contract demand by Reeves that he gets to kiss a hot chick in this movie (again no point at all)

The fight scenes were good, except for every time Neo strikes a "Bill and Ted" Wild Stallions pose. (Bill and Ted actually had a better storyline)

They left out option 3 in Neo's meeting with the architect - tear his head off so there is no one to rebuild the Matrix for a sixth time. (That would have been my choice)

Oh yea, for anyone that didn't see it - Agent Smith is a self replicating virus - and the space on Earth outside the matrix (Zion) is all part of an even larger Matrix so that even those that are Free are not really.

Can anyone tell me who it was that survived the destruction of Zion ? I saw the dude on the table at the end, but had absolutely no recolection of who it was.

I saw an article that Albino's were pissed about the movie - I don't know why - the Albino Twins were one of the only cool things happening.

I would give Reloaded an OK on the entertainment scale, but it falls way short of what could be done with the concept on an intelectual scale.

To me, not really worth the 30 dollars between 2 tickets, a bag of popcorn, and 2 drinks. Let alone the 21 1/2 minutes of advertisements and previews and the sore ass from an uncorfortable seat. It might also taint my judgement that I have a better sound system at home them they do.
