Mixed reactions to matrix reloaded

Matrix Reloaded getting very mixed reviews

Check out
www.aintitcoolnews.com
www.empireonline.co.uk
www.rottentomatoes.com

The genreal concensus is that it is good just not as good as was to be expected, some critics are also citing very obvious plotholes witth it.

I am still hyped though

I don't think it will be awful, just lots of wow special effects and no storyline.

I didn't really think the first Matrix had a huge amount of storyline, just standard sci-fi fare, it did have lots of wow special effects though.

Its going to make a huge amount of money no matter what the reviews say.

Dont think any fans of the first one will be dissapointed.

Yeah, after reading that review on AICN, I've decided to pass on it in the theatre. (I'll be seeing A Mighty Wind instead ) I wasn't a huge fan of the original, and one line in the review turned me off completely. Wirework replaced by CG bodies. I've seen the trailer, and I'm sorry... CG bodies flying through the air look stupid.

You must've seen other movies with scenes that looked stupid, but still enjoyed it. Go on, go see it, and than pan it later. It's only entertainment!!
