I saw the matrix reloaded a couple of days ago and in my opinion it was a huge letdown. The special effects were okay at most, not as perfectly photorealistic as the money they spent on it would lead you to believe. They also were overused - covering pointless car crashes and fight moves without centering on anything new or critical/important. Slow motion in some parts made some scenes drone on for what seemed like forever. Speaking of forever, some of the fight/action scenes were cool for a minute or two, until you wake up and think "bleh? how long have they been fighting for?". Especially for scenes like the dance scene in Zion or the fight scene with the agent smiths - there was too much waiting for something interesting to happen. The crude humor they tried to slap in there for laughs felt out of place, especially that french guy (whatshisname) who I can only guess was intended to be a guy with sharp wit, but instead looked like a horny little pervert. In my opinion, there was way too much spent on special effects and action, among other things (pleasing the segment of the population which would be well personified by Montag's wife in the book "Fahrenheit 451"), and too little effort spent on the story and being creative with the effects.

I miss the interest and curiosity as well as the sense of awe spawned by the first movie. If only they could've recaptured that.... oh well.
