Critics Consensus

Though its heady themes are a departure from its predecessor, The Matrix Reloaded is a worthy sequel packed with popcorn-friendly thrills.

The sfx bombardment can't hide a lack of sense and substance.

The whole film may be more than a bit suspect cerebrally, with dime-store philosophy, potted mysticism and cut-price otherworldliness, but visually it gives full value as a virtuoso workout for your senses.

Indeed, if you loved the first Matrix and its mix of comic-book angst, martial arts, virtual reality, video-game punch-ups, pop philosophy, biblical subtext, romance, tragedy and pathos, then you won't be disappointed.

3/4

In a genre dominated by fan service, “requels” (see also, The Force Awakens), and movies devoid of philosophical dilemmas or subtext, The Matrix Reloaded feels like a unicorn. The Wachowskis made it as a personal statement.

They don't come up with anything new, but it's bigger, louder, and mighty impressive, even if the dialogue sounds more and more like a preprogrammed video game.

2.5/4

The film entertains despite its structural shortcomings, as the Wachowskis have created a cinematic world that’s a pleasure to experience, even though it’s not as satisfying as its predecessor.

It's an exciting action movie but as sci fi, not much to it. Still an entertaining film but just not game changing as some claim.

Este é exatamente como o primeiro, mas pior em todos os sentidos. Mais lutas sem sentido. Mais poderes mágicos inexplicáveis. Mais do mito messiânico. E ainda menos sentido do que nunca. Ele se baseia no primeiro filme e consegue construir uma pilha de merda ainda maior do que o primeiro.

Nowhere near a perfect movie, but it does have some incredible highs, both with action and with dialogue.

The action sequences are great. The story is not.
