FULL STORY
======================================================================

There was no way any sequel to The Matrix could match the surprise and impact 
of the original. But the second Matrix movie, The Matrix Reloaded , does a 
pretty great job of delivering another entertaining slice of slightly pompous 
but undeniably thrilling sci-fi. 

Like its predecessor, it's visually stunning, and the second instalment turns 
the action up considerably: there are more guns, more trench coats and more 
Agent Smiths getting punched than in the first movie, and there's a truly 
spectacular highway scene that's rightfully considered a classic. Watch The 
Matrix Reloaded on Netflix The Matrix Reloaded is much more of a good thing 

At their worst, all the Matrix movies are a little too enamoured of their own 
seriousness. But at they're best they're a rollercoaster for the eyes, packed 
with fight scenes so visceral that you'll often find yourself forgetting to 
breathe and asking yourself: how-did-they-do-that? The aforementioned highway 
scene is a great example of that, but the mass brawl between Keanu and 
multiple versions of Agent Smith is enormous fun too. 

It's all very silly  London's Evening Standard said that "the whole film may 
be more than a bit suspect cerebrally, with dime-store philosophy, potted 
mysticism and cut-price otherworldliness". But there's a but coming: "but 
visually it gives full value as a virtuoso workout for your senses." And 
About.com enthused: "it's great. It out-Matrixes the original Matrix with its 
fight scenes, car chase and philosophical insight." 

 The Matrix Reloaded is one of those films that tends to reinforce people's 
opinion. If you thought the first Matrix was terribly teenage and a triumph 
of style over substance, the second movie is more so. But if you loved the 
first one, you'll love the second one too. 

As Film Threat says, like its predecessor The Matrix Reloaded "might be hard 
to swallow, but it's so delicious you just can't help but want more". That's 
the site's Caffeinated Clint. His colleague, the presumably less caffeinated 
Chuck Russel , says it's "tremendously bad". Which one of them took the red 
pill? You'll need to watch the movie on Netflix to find out. You might also
