Hot Chick: My dear lord, Monica Bellucci...  

Hot Chick Factor: 10

Synopsis -- The Matrix story continues as the machines get ever closer to Zion, and Keanu and co. get closer to shutting down the matrix!

Short declaratory phrase in an attempt to get quoted in TV trailer, ad, or cover box --

"Reloaded kicked my ass up and down the theater seats!  Or was it that large black gentleman that I accidentally spilled my 72 oz drink on...???  Either way, it's great."

Ryan's review:

I know this is the second part of a trilogy, but it does beg the question; is the trilogy really necessary if not much happens in the second part?  Ever since Star Wars, geek film makers have been reaching for the three picture deal like it was the holy "trinity."  I say, enough already, I have got too much other shit to deal with.  "Lord of the Rings" gets a pass because it is three huge books, and that New Zealand bastard is saving me a lot of reading, but that is it.  With that said, "Reloaded" kicks the shit out of you like you were wearing a banana suit around a radioactive gorilla on crack cocaine.  The fight scenes, which constitute most of the film, are blow your mind awesome.  However, they become superfluous and almost humorous because they just happen, all the time.  I hate to admit it, but it is awesome though.

Rating: 7 out of 10 times I really did not know why they were fighting in the first place.

Nate's review:

This movie was the highlight of the summer so far for me.  I loved it baby!  It was totally worth the wait.  I understand what Ryan means about the need (or lack thereof) for a trilogy, but I think this particular story warrants it, or perhaps two 3-hour movies, a la the first two Godfathers (let's face it, we don't really need the third one).  Nonetheless, there is still so much ass-kickin' going on is this film, it blows your fucking mind.  Also unusual are all the "eastern" philosophies/religious aspects treated by the film.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with an action movie that makes you think a little.  Or a lot.  Hell this thing was nuts.  Another reason I liked this movie is that I am all about Agent Smith.  Man that guy is the coolest, and there are a fuckload of Smiths in this.  It's almost ridiculous.  I wish I could get away with talking like that in real life.  I would scare the shit out of people.  Go see it see it see it and then rent Bill and Ted.

Rating: 495 out of 500 Agent Smiths, you badass motherfuckers you
