Matrix Reloaded: 2 Much for Half a Movie
Now that Matrix Revolutions had been out for a little while, I finally got around to renting Martix Reloaded last weekend. Without further ado, here's the very last review of it you'll see:
Too much fight scene.
Too much freeway chase scene.
Too many people in the cast.
Too much Zion.
Too much stylized special effects.
Too many albino rastafarians (I'm still not sure what they were supposed to be).
Basically, the producers said, Hey, here's what worked in the first movie. Let's take all those elemets and crank them up to eleven for the second one. It made me tired.
Then, at the end, you find out you spent all that time and money on half a movie -- just like the end of Back to the Future 2. I can't help but think that if they'd refrained from using up two thirds of the movie on fight scenes and freeway chases, they could have finished the story in this one movie. I guess they know a cash cow when they see one.
Piano Reeves acts as though he dropped a chromosome somewhere and spends the rest of the movie looking for it (Sluggo, 1995). Carrie Anne Moss looks like a man from the neck up. Morpheus is one of the coolest movie characters ever. Lawrence Fishburne does a nice job with him, but it made me uneasy when he preached.
The first movie told a very good story. Quite innovative. The second one milks it dry.
"Piano Reeves acts as though he dropped a chromosome somewhere..."
Gee, that sounds familiar. I wonder where I've heard that before?
