This move will make you want to take the redpill
I don't understand why people are so against this movie. It had everything from great special effects to a smart script. Look its not
the writers fault that some people didn't get what was being said durng conversations. This movie was 10 times better than the 3rd movie, and I know I sound crazy, but I would say that it's just as good as the 1st if not a little better. Now going back to watch the first and seeing how much of a wimp Neo was in the first drives me crazy. Take it that in the last 5 minutes of the first he could finally bet Smith looks so silly.
Especially now that he can take on hundreds at a time. In a movies I want to see things that are impossible. Its a shame they had to end it on such a bad movie as the 3rd one. I only bought the 3rd to complete the series, other wise I would have skipped that one. GET THIS MOVIE!!!!

Better Effects, More Action, bit too Light
WARNING POSSIBLE SPOILERS !!
Overall a good sequel. Just that it got away from the semi-gloomy theme of the first matrix and that turned me off a bit.
Nice allusion to some human fantasy characters and their purpose for existence in the 'matrix-world'. Which is anachronistic being the the machines took over in the 21st century.
Put a dent in my expectations of Neo's possible rising omnipotence and his place as the singular 'hero' figure.
Gave Morpheus and Trinity a good test run of their skills against the agents.
In itself a great movie, not as good IMHO as the original but a great movie for Matrix fans.

action packed and chock full of parallels with our own reality
There is no excuse for anyone to have not watched this movie. But how many people who watch it really understand that it is gives a superb analogy to understanding our current reality.
We live in a world of illusion, distraction, economic slavedom and material indulgence. Breaking free from these culturally programmed distractions will enable you to break free from the real Matrix that we inhabit.
Still think the Matrix is fantasy??? To really explore the reality of our 'matrix' try reading the book by Ouspensky called "In Search of the Miraculous", and the book by Laura Knight-Jadczyk called "The Secret History of the World".
It's your choice, get swallowed up in the illusion of job titles, pensions, media propagated fear, control and consumption or start living your own truly free life!!!!

Excellent sequel!
I know of friends who only saw the first Matrix movie and that is a shame, as all three parts of the trilogy belong together as the journey of Neo and the change that happens to him along the way. It is a fantastic job that has been done in keeping the quality at the top without descending into making B-grade follow up movies as is often the case with sequels.
It is a movie that can be seen on many levels. Some will see it just as a great action movie which it is, but there is so much more to this film. It is a fantastic depiction of the journey of the spiritual seeker and the difficulties that he encounters within himself as he starts pushing against the prisons of his own mind and the multitude of programs that operates and which keep us small.
It also neatly depicts the way humans are kept as 'food for the moon' in Gurdjieff's words or simply food for ultra terrestrials. In the film this is depicted as humans, being little less than cultivated biological batteries for the machines.
The story is part of a trilogy and all three parts are worth watching more than once, as you will undoubtedly see new things each time. Things that start making sense only after some time of reflection and reading. In this regard I can recommend reading the book by Ouspensky called "In Search of the Miraculous", and the book by Laura Knight-Jadczyk called "The Secret History of the World".

The Matrix Rehashed
"The Matrix" was an innovative,thought-provoking movie. It had a Buddhist/Christian allegory with the "Chosen One",Neo being "awakened" (like Buddha) to the reality of existence and being "resurrected" (like Jesus) through Trinity's kiss. It's an enjoyable,rip-roaring film.
"Matrix Reloaded",on the other hand,is a major letdown. It has the special effects,the same trio of heroes (Neo,Trinity,Morpheus)..but lacks its soul. The spirituality of the first has been replaced with "look what we can do now." The heroic trio confronts the Merovignian (a legendary descendant of Jesus and Mary Magdalene),his cleavage-baring wife Persephone,as well as the albino Twins. These new villains are incredibly confusing,and don't have any basis in the first movie. Why do they even exist? As an excuse for fight scenes? At least Hugo Weaving returns as the only engaging villain,Agent Smith.
There's a pointless orgy/rave scene in Zion that's supposed to be life-affirming. One expects to see Nelly Furtado emerging from the shadows to belt out "Maneater",but that's a FUN video,and a better song. Neo and Trinity have an unerotic consummation scene. It could've been incredibly sensual and romantic;but the leads lack chemistry. Perhaps the Wachowskis should've left the Neo/Trinity love scene to the imaginations of the viewers.
"Matrix Reloaded" has some amazing visuals, especially at the end when Neo confronts the architect of the Matrix surrounded by TV monitors. The battle scenes,as always,are spectacles. Unfortunately,the human and mystical sides of the story are significantly absent.
