The Matrix Reloaded

I'm just gonna come out and say it: The Matrix Reloaded sucked in comparision to the first film. Gone is the subtley and intellectual aspects of the film, as well as any moral or ethical dillemias. Instead, they've been replaced with fight sequences that go on so long they lose all meaning and an Englishman doing a horrid French accent.

The film instead of intellectualism decided to rely on action and emotion. The action, as I've already said, is over done and it's always a bad idea to base a film on emotion when Keanu Reeves is your star.

I did not like Zion. It couldn't decide if it was technological or tribal. And why, why a city-wide rave? Did that serve any purpose?

I am saving most judgement for this film until the next movie comes out because I think it's going to be hard to judge these two films separately. They were, after all, conceived and created together. I'm hoping that the next film will validate this film and just make it the weakest link in the chain instead of a sign that the series never should have extended past the first film.
