The Matrix Reloaded Ratings & Reviews
- Blake Singleton2d agoAnother dip into the world of The Matrix. While not as cohesive and satisfying as the first, this movie holds up over two decades later.
- Nathan MagretaJuly 23, 2025Despite being a massive decrease from the original, this was still a really enjoyable sequel. Great action, great visuals, and a solid story make it a great movie.
- mickerdooJuly 10, 2025Just so cool. Keanu is the one and the man. Only thing I didn't like are the white dreaded guys. Cool skill just poor costuming.
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 17, 2024The surprisingly bad sequel. The loss of focus on Neo in this one was a mistake. Everyone was weirded out when this came out back in the days. I think they just upped the scope on this and just lost sight of the project entirely. However, the philosophical stuff is still great and is this movies saving grace.
- Halim MellickJune 5, 2025The Matrix sequels are actually good movies if you accept the truth that they are just parodies of the first film
- Eldon McGuinnessFebruary 16, 2025A noble attempt at a sequel to the unbelievable first installment. The graphic stylings do not cease to please and the direction of the story is both unexpected—through the use of innovative characters and lore—and at the same time a smooth addition. Full of action and technology, it is a true gem.
- grantssMay 25, 2025Good but a bit disappointing. The first Matrix film was brilliant: daringly original and left-field yet quite plausible and intelligent and highly entertaining. A great mix of concept, plot and action. The Matrix Reloaded picks up where the original left off but the mix is now shifted over to the action side. The Matrix concept is still there but it’s not new anymore. One of the great things about the original film was discovering and unravelling the Matrix and then seeing how it could be manipulated. Here, we know the background and generally don’t need to know anything new (though there is a backstory drop towards the end that is quite interesting). The plot here is much weaker than before, quite thin to start off with though it gets some degree of focus towards the end. Much of the plot development just seems to exist to get us to the next action scene. The substance of the first movie has been replaced with style. On that note, the physics-defying action scenes are still there and they’re even more over-the-top and more plentiful. Some are quite epic – the extended car chase is phenomenal. However, the frequency and gratuitousness of them gets quite tedious after a while – oh, look, another fight scene with perfectly choreographed, gravity-defying martial arts moves. This said, despite the repetition it’s hard to not be drawn in. This over-reliance on action and the thinness of the plot does make this film a bit disappointing as I was hoping for something similar to the first film in terms of cleverness of plot. Overall it’s still quite good but not anywhere near as good as the original (though that is a very high benchmark).
- Tommy WoernerJanuary 11, 2025Pacing is good. It's a sequel but not a conclusion in the trilogy so from that perspective it fairs better than most comparable sophmore efforts. Agent Smith really shines, I was rooting for him the whole time.
