I saw this last night and was pretty disappointed. It was *okay* and some parts were really really neat. But the negatives were oh so negative:
1) there's this dance party scene in Zion. Why the hell did they free the minds of all the party people? Where are all the smart people? Also this party scene is seriously an implied orgy. Nipples everywhere.
2) In the fight scene where Neo is fighting the hundreds of Smiths, you can actually *see* the frames switch from photography to 100% cgi. Like, watch Keanu's face. It looks like the fucking Sims.
3) The fight scenes were stupid. It was all meager Kung Fu. I mean, Neo can fly like a rocket in this movie. And you know how there's that whole bending of the spoon allegory in the first movie? So there's a fight scene in Reloaded where everyone is using swords and axes. Why doesn't Neo do something like cause the blades of the swords to bend around and hit the very people who are holding the sword? Or he stops a wall of bullets and they fall to the ground. So why doesn;t he do something like make them rise up again and continue at an opportune moment? What I'm basically saying is, the action was really uncreative with the potential they had. Also Morpheus fighting is dumb, he looks SO SLOW.
4) There's a highway chase scene that lasts for like HALF AN HOUR. It's seriously cars flipping over for 30 minutes. GET ON WITH IT, already. I was actually bored.
5) There's some cheesiness.
But I went with Mia so it was a great time anyway. Whee.
