i saw the Matrix Reloaded. this isn't spoilery, just a few general comments...It was good, but the first one was SO much better. Sequels need to stand alone as well, which this didn't. and need to not just copy the glory of the original, which this did.

plus, there just a little too much computer animation for my taste, and it wasn't as flawless as i expected.

the story...well...more on that later, i don't feel like thinking right now. its got some big holes. i'll put those thoughts behind a cut tag.

i went by myself, mostly cuz the movie theater is about the last cool place on earth. its well over 100 degrees out. blech.

Plot holes are the reason I couldn't stand the first movie. But I thought of all people, you would love the second one (just 'cause you love the first one so much). That's too bad.

And I can SO sympathise with going to the movies for the air conditioning. It was 80+ here today. Fuck that!

the first one was really good, cuz it was all "maybe it really IS this way" and "what IS reality, anyway?"...but this one just made no sense...like a matrix within a matrix. the philosophy is over most peoples head, yet they simultaneosly try to dumb it down for mass appeal. the fight scenes were cool, but when i can actually tell that they're animated...erg. i DID like this one, don't get me wrong. i was in to it. a little too much explaining itself, tho...
