Was Reloaded better than The Matrix?

[Guest edge007]

vote!

[Guest razazteca]

No. The 1st one had a better cast.

[Guest DrTom]

No. They're both quite good and enjoyable, but I didn't think Reloaded followed up on some things I expected to see in it. Example: Neo can stop bullets in midair, fly, etc. Why does he still NEED to do kung fu? He should just wave his hand and cast the other person into an Abyss, or something. I know it allows for fight scenes, but the choreography is becoming obvious in the respect that we see two (or more) actors who are clearly not trying to hurt each other. They're still directed well, so they're fun to watch, but I think the fight scenes in the first movie were better.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Yes. It's not as revolutionary, but it is the better film and that what counts.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

I went with no, but it's close. Like I said in the other thread, it's a different kind of movie: the action is less initially impressive, but the environment, characters, and entire fleshing out of the Zion/Matrix world is great. I think it's a rock-solid second installment, but it obviously doesn't stand alone as well without the first and eventually third to bookend it.

It's not even close...

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

i think the 2nd one holds up to the original. I thoroughly enjoyed the follow up and I can't wait for the next one so my vote is yes.

No, the 2nd one kills the sense of excitement of the first one by over explanation.

 

 

The title should be: "The Matrix: Odd People Explain the Plot to Neo"

[Guest The Notorious CRD]

I voted no, because Reloaded seemed like (and basically is) half a movie. That's not to say it was bad (it wasn't even close to being so); it just didn't have the same impact. One thing Reloaded does have over the original though, is Harold Perrineau, Jr. (Link), one of my favorite actors.

Haha, that's great. For some reason I can see Keanu, just before each scene... "So, dude, am I like.. Supposed to BE Neo in this scene? Oh, really? ....woah."

I’m still waiting for him to do Point Break 2.

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

I hated the original and still feel like the only guy in the world who doesn't like the movie.

 

The second one was better. I was okay with it.

I was expecting Keanu to wake up and go "Whoa Dude" am I in the Matrix or Johnny Pneumonic. I wonder if Henry Rollins and Ice T want to jam after the shoot...........Wild Stallions Rock!
