I just got back from watching Reloaded, and I thought it was a great film. In my view, the cinema is there for you to go and get away from real life for a couple of hours, to enjoy yourself. I did that tonight. Im not one to pick at the negative, like wooden acting or the plot or whatever, but I dont believe that makes me a fan of crap films. My fav films range from Lawrence Of Arabia right through to American Pie.
I thought, with me trying not to spoil it for any perspective cinema go-ers, that it felt like a middle part, much like the Two Towers, and thank goodness we only have to wait three months for the Revolutions to come out. Its a film that maybe suffered a little from a lack of sequel planning in the first film, but it does progress the Matrix world story further, throwing up some very good suprises. It does suffer by running the risk of throwing any viewers off track if they cant get their head around the storyline. Its tough work to follow the plot and has you trying to figure out whats going to happen next, whilst watching the absolutly incredible fight scenes that Reloaded has in abundance.
I wasnt expecting just to see one film, I was expecting to see one of two parts, and after some negative reviews I have seen in the press and online, I left feeling like I enjoyed myself and I can not wait until November. I am quite hard to please when it comes to films, and this one did please me. I am an avid cinema goer, have been since 1990. I can give only half a dozen films that made me feel like I had really got value for my money, and this was one of them.
