Wow What can I say If you loved 1 you will love this.
Excellent Film once again. A Great Buy!

Matrix reloaded is a brilliant film. I'm hearing alot of bad reports about it and its pi***ng me off because its a brilliant film. The film is about NEO (Keanu Reeves) must complete the prophecy that Morpheus (Lawrence Fishburne) believes in to save the world. The effects, martial arts, action and stunt scenes in this film are amazing. Whenever he has to fight all the agent smiths is a pretty cool scene. Whenever the film starts off with trinity jumping off a bike in mid air and sending the bike into a security hut and then the security hut explodes the film has you completely hooked!

The freeway scene in this film has you absolutely gob smacked! Whenever neo has to talk to the architect this part of the film is a real brain teaser. The explosions in this film are quality. I think that reloaded is as good as the first film. A lot of people would disagree with me because alot of people I know that have seen this either don't like it or just thinks its ok. Well I think its brilliant and I definitely recommend it.

The original matrix movie was superb, and still to this day remains one of the most copied and homaged films. The bullet time breakthrough stamped the movie with an original tag unlike any other, but i guess i really felt it ended on a good note, and that was that. When i heard about Reloaded and then, the final part of the trilogy Revolutions, I was ecstatic. Reloaded not only continues the story of Neo but raises up some interesting new questions - not least is Neo's ability to defeat the Sentinels outside of the Matrix...and what of the previous versions of the Matrix itself? And can Neo prove his dream about Trinity wrong?
A great sequel, and sets up part 3 perfectly at the end. Who CAN'T love seeing Neo kickig the arse of 100 Agent Smiths? Or Morpheus' battle atop a runaway truck? Or Trinity looking hot in black leather doing 200 mph on a motorbike being chased by agents......?
The Matrix could have ended after the first movie - but this film takes everything up a notch, if a little too wordy at times...

AMAZING,FANTASTIC,SUPERB UNBELIEVABLE Thats my opinion of the second installment of the Matrix series and i would even go so far to say out of all the three matrix films this is the best one,it has loads of action/Martial Arts in it,decent storyline and fantastic acting what more do you want.I simply loved it and would recomend it to anyone who hasnt seen it as yet.

SUPER, BRILLIANT, SPECTACULAR, AWSOME,AMAZING, FANTASTIC, A FUTURE CLASSIC

Do you get my point, i'm not going to say anymore about this film except if you haven't seen it? then RUN, RUN as fast as you can to buy a copy. Bid Now, BUY NOW, just get a copy. Once you have seen one of the matrix trilogy you will have to see them all.

An absolute must in any DVD collection

Rating: 5 out of 5 (and a bit more)

Neo, Trinity, Morpheus. These iconic names have arguably become as famous as all the other folk named with solitary words: Madonna, Ronaldo, Yoda. The Matrix has been nothing short of a landmark achievement; its techno-oriented visions and mind-boggling ideas armed the computer-obsessed nuts with a whole new trendy subculture and our contemporary philosophical thinkers with stuff to talk about.

Shortly after the events of the first Matrix, the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar arrive at the hallowed last human city of Zion, where it is discovered that a frickin’ huge Sentinel army is burrowing down from the surface to wipe them all out. Not fancying their chances very much, Morpheus (Fishburne) believes that the now godlike Neo (Reeves) is Zion’s only hope for survival, and leads his compatriots back into the Matrix to destroy the machine mainframe and end the war once and for all. Its here that the film takes an interesting twist and ends on a frankly evil cliffhanger, which should have all but the sturdy of us crying out for the final part of the trilogy.

There is a scene in the first Matrix film where Neo has various kung fu programmes downloaded into his mind, and is then asked by the operator, Tank, whether he wants some more. “Hell yeah,” is the reply. And that is precisely what the Wachowski brothers have done for us in Reloaded after the initial intoxicating dose of the Matrix. Following the trip to Zion, we are saturated with gorgeous action sequences, from Neo battling a hundred odd replicas of the insidious Agent Smith (Weaving), to the spectacular chase on the freeway guaranteed to blow you away. Just as the first film astounded us with those sweet bullet-time effects, this flick is as equally advanced, with the camera capturing the dizzying action in totally innovative ways. Fans of the Hong Kong chop-socky martial arts will also be delighted here as fight choreographer Yuen Woo-Ping raises the bar (and those wires) even higher, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon style.

That said, this film is just as cerebral in content as its predecessor, where much of the philosophy of the Matrix is revealed. Ideas of causality, fate and existence are all touched upon at a head spinning speed that can lead to some confusion should inadequate attention be paid.

The minor faults lie in the drawn out and slightly unnecessary rave scene in Zion, as well as Reeves’ somewhat dubious acting which, fortunate for him, is somewhat covered up and glossed over by the film, in a manner similar to the first movie.

You simply have to watch Reloaded. You’ll then want to catch it again, to marvel once more at the stunning sumptuousness and style of the set pieces, and to make full sense of the dialogue and profound narrative that sometimes moves as fast as the action. This is groundbreaking, monumental, immortal stuff. Hell yeah indeed.

Clearly the 2nd and 3rd Matrix films did not have a patch on the 1st however they are still really good films! Action is really good with a very good story!! Dont mind the soundtrack either!

To begin: this is half a movie. To comment on half of a picture is pretty difficult. Those that dismiss this as another Phantom Menace should sit tight for the conclusion.

Having said that, Reloaded has amazed, enlightened and overwhelmed me. To go through each scene, character & word would take weeks, more then 1000 words and would only interest those few die-hard fans.

The only thing to say is that of my love for the complete trilogy.

It is inevitable.

Story:
Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) continue their battle against the machines in THE MATRIX RELOADED, the second chapter of Larry and Andy Wachowski's MATRIX trilogy. As RELOADED begins, Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus arrive in Zion with new crew member Link (Harold Perrineau), and discover that 250,000 dreaded sentinels are close to launching a massive attack on the underground haven for the liberated minds of humanity. When Neo seeks advice from the prophetic Oracle (the late Gloria Foster), their meeting leads to a sorely outnumbered fight with Neo's old nemesis, Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving). While the sentinels advance on Zion, various battles within the Matrix continue to escalate, culminating in an extended highway chase sequence involving Morpheus, Trinity, more imposing agents, and two new adversaries--the relentless white-clad Twins (Adrian and Neil Rayment).
With RELOADED, the Wachowski brothers delve deeper into both the realm of the Matrix and the apocalyptic, machine-controlled future reality. Initially giving ample attention to both the romance between Neo and Trinity and to the vast underground city of Zion, the film eventually delivers one stunning set piece after another, with the amazing martial arts sequences and jaw-dropping effects of the first MATRIX elevated to even more astounding heights. In addition to the returning cast of Reeves, Moss, Fishburne, Weaving, and Foster, Perrineau and Jada Pinkett Smith make for welcome new additions, and Monica Bellucci offers up an unforgettably sensual appearance. Larger than the original scale on every level, THE MATRIX RELOADED is a thoroughly entertaining sequel that will leave viewers eager for the trilogy's conclusion, THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS.

Comments:
Can't beat Matrix I, but def. Better then Matrix 3

I especially liked the ghosts and ofcourse the freeway scene.
Awesome movie, very mutch recommendable. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

great film all action sci fi.imagination runs amock with twists and turns at every corner keeps you thinking from begining to end ,an intelligent thought provoking film the 2nd of a trilogy which will(and may already be!)a classic.bargain purchase a must have for anyones dvd collection

This is the best Matrix movie I've ever seen from the other 3, it's just great and consists of realistic eye-cathing action

If u r a Matrix fan, and have'nt seen this movie, then I would recommend u to get this one

Purchased this one again because my copy went missing from my box set. You either love or loathe the Matrix trilogy and i love them. Lets face it Mr Reaves is not the greatest of actors but he fit the role of Neo perfectly. As for Carrie playing Trinity....... yummy! The first film was definately the best in my humble opinion with this one a close second, some real good fight scenes and one of the best car chase scenes ever caught on film.

Great thanks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Good Film but for me it failed to capture the Magic of the First - they tried Too hard to improve on the first one hence it therefore feels far to over-done, and I actually got bored half way thru watching it!

If you like the 1st one and the 2nd you'l love this one.

action packed all the way to the end.

bad ending as it ends on a cliffhanger. still waiting for the next one so i get to see what happens. doubt it will be anytime soon.

a great movie, well worth watching
what else can you say about a good film well worth buying since i bought the film i have watched it about 9 times and it gets you enthralled with everything about it

i love all the matrix movies they take u to another world and if u have eney wories they are gon for the duration of the movie.

It is just a good film what more can I say! I love them and after loosing my copies due to moving it's great to have it again and also now my kids r old enough they can enjoy it to.

I suppose it wouldn't have be too bad if we hadn't liked the original so much. If the other reviews hadn't said it was so good. But we had, and they did.
The story continues (except I wondered if I'd missed something) by majoring on the lerrrrve interest. Too much for me. Get's involved in incomprehensible politics (again, have we missed something?) - boring. Dreadful, long, long, loud, long party / orgy of half dressed groovies.
Interspersed with Matrix action. Longer, more drawn out, but nothing new. Still amazing - to start with, but my ability to be amazed rapidly ran out. I was bored by the sameness of every fight - unlike in the original matrix. The bike chase was a high point, but apart from that the fights were less adventurous in moves than the original. Just more, and more, and more, slight variations on the basic moves, without much innovation.
In between the filling they did manage some story. It did help clear the confusion and was pretty good in places with a few neat twists. Looking forward to the ending ...
What! No ending, just like a TV serial left in the air ... - To be continued.

It's only a short film at just over 2 hours, but it felt much longer. If Part 3 is the same, there may (perhaps) be enough material for one decent film.
Alternately, you could just watch the fights from the original Matrix - over and over.
I think I may get part 3 - if only so my conscience allows me to flog part two without subjecting the buyer to the vast anoyance at the lack of ending.
Or perhaps I can't be bothered.
And perhaps it would have been OK if we hadn't expected so much - the only reason it scraped an average.

What a great price for an unbelievable DVD.

Looking forward to doing business going forward

Thanks

Good film but like the first film you have to watch this a few times to get the jest of whats going on.

Well worth watching and once you've seen the first film then this will just follow on.
