I also saw this film along with my homie Alan AND if it were not for the fight scenes, this film would have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. One character spoke so intelligently, it was difficult to understand him. I felt like they hired a seperate writer to write JUST his lines. The rest of the script, however, sounded like it was written by Keanu Reeves, himself (possibly with help from Vin Diesel).

Yeah, I'm skipping school tomorrow to go see it. I have anticipated this movie so much. Last night, I even had a dream that I went to the theater, saw the movie, and it sucked. I woke up with sweat all over my face, and started panting. That's how much I want to see it. Please don't tell me I'm going to be in for a disappointment, because I want to find this out for myself.

Sh**....that blows. I once had a CRAZY-ASSED dream when I was like seven years old...and my dad was kidnapped by GIANT mutant rats. (The backstory is a lot of rats were around my house when I was little so my dad would shoot 'em with his .22) So the rats had my dad tied up and they were circling him while chanting sh** in Vitanamese...so what did I do? I watched them roast his ass. after that I grabbed a chainsaw, put on a mask made from human tissue, and started killing them......
...
Ok maybe I made up the last part about me and the chainsaw...just to make the story more interesting...
What the f*** does this have to do with the Matrix? Jack sh**.
The Matrix 2: What the hell is the title? Reloaded or Renegade....or Unplugged? Who gives a sh**...
Anyways.... the action scenes of course are gonna be cool as f**.
Keanue Reeves will suck a load outta huge cock as always...with his "over-acting" which is just basically him "trying" to act...with his unfitting voice...non-interesting face....and...well..........no movement while acting.
Holy sh** I forgot...Keannue Reeves will suck a load- Oh wait I already mentioned that. Yeah...when I saw the 1st Matrix and the part where Reeves/Neo-Pet gets shot...I was happy he was gonna die....but he didn't. Son of a b****.
I don't understand how this idiot is in movies. HE should have been re-placed by someone like...Bruce Willis. That would awesome. Bruce Willis wearing all black and a trenchcoat with tight quasi futuristic glasses while mowing down agents with a FAT ASSED MAC-10 SUBMACHINE GUN. Holy sh**...and then the last agent would be left and Willis would have him at gunpoint with a FAT .50 Cal. Desert Eagle...and the agent would be all like, "OH-NO....I'M GONNA DIE." Then Willis would yell "Yippi-Ki-Yi-Yah MOTHER-F******!" Then blow his stupid Agent face off...damn that'd be sweet. Then they he'd grab a ringing phone and wake up in the "real world" where Trinity would be waiting in hot pants and a sky blue bra...sh**...then hard-core Van Halen would bust in soundtrack and a raunchy sex-scene would come into play as he nails her. Role credits.

No. She didn't bother me. The character I was refering to was Tank's replacement, "Link." In all honesty, he's the token black comic relief guy. They might as well have just cut to him yelling "Sha-ZAM!" after all the fight scenes. He's terrible. You'll see what I'm talking about.

Ya mean this f***-head?
Also...I found the guy who played Tank a little "fruity" for my tastes. He didn't seem "black" He was like a white guy in black skin. I never liked that actor.

I never liked Laurwence Fishurne. I havn't seen a single movie with him in it that I liked him.
Now Ving Rhames...he's badass. He should have been Morpheus. I mean...look at this guy...he's f****** bad-ass:
He played a f****** crime boss in Pulp Fiction man...I'm telling ya...if this guy was in Matrix...he'd be getting Medieval on EVERYONE'S ASS. F****** teamo supremo sh**.
(By the way...Ving is the guy on the left...not the phone.)

I just got home from a late showing of Reloaded and I'm going to give a big thumbs up. The action was breath-taking and the coolest shot in the movie (thank god) was NOT shown in any of the trailers. I don't want to tell it but I will say it happens at the end of the highway chase scene. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. Alright, now just because I gave it thumbs up does NOT mean I didn't have some issues with it. But first I'll start with the goods: (no spoilers)
-The storyline took a few unexpected and interesting plot twists that I wasn't expecting. Very cool stuff.
-I thought Keanu's acting was better (but that's probably because he spends more time kicking ass than acting).
-I looked hard, but could not find a SINGLE fake Agent Smith or Agent Smith look alike.
-The new camera techniques blew me out of the water.
-There were more fight scenes than ANYTHING I've seen before, and they all ruled.
-I liked how the ever-so-threatening-agents from the first Matrix just became pee-on minions and the new evils had enough powers to compromise Neo's.
-The Neo flying thing... which I thought looked lame in the trailers... RULED!!
-The action was just astounding. I can't say enough about this part. I cremed myself many times over while watching.
Okay, there's alot more that I loved about this movie, but I'm getting tired, so now I'll move on to the bads. What I'm about to give, SOME might consider as spoilers, so if you're nervous I'll say too much (which I don't think I will), stop reading. Okay, here were my problems with the movie:
-The Neo/Oracle conversation got too smart for itself. She tells him to sit, then she tells him that she knows already if he is going to sit or not. Later, she offers him candy, then proceeds to tell him that she knows whether he'll take the candy or not... O-F*CKING-KAAAAAY!!! We get it! You know what will happen next! Get to the point!
-A good twenty minutes could have been taken out of the movie. There was WAY too much random stuff going on that had NO point and NO relevance to the story. I didn't need to see ten minutes of a rave music video in Zion inter-cut with Trinity and Neo having sex. If it had anything to do with the plot, fine, but this scene was the epitome of gratuitous sex, and it dragged. I also didn't need to see random crap about an orgasm-inducing pie that a woman eats and gets all wet from it. I ESPECIALLY didn't need to see a "matrixed p*ssy". You'll know what I mean when you see it.
-There were not enough guns in this one. I love martial arts, but I'm also a sucker for gun battles. I know Neo has surpassed guns, so give some gun fights to Trinity and Morpheus.
-Trinity did NOT kick enough ass. Neo did all the ass-kicking, and Morpheus didn't get that much either. But Trinity is so badass and she needed alot more fighting.
There is some more stuff that I didn't like, but it would give too much away if I told. But anyway, the bottom line is Reloaded is an INCREDIBLE sequel and worth watching atleast twice in the theaters (because there's alot to understand and pick up on). It wasn't as good as the first when it comes to dialogue and story, but it was better when it comes to action.
EVERYONE GO SEE THIS MOVIE! I don't think I need to tell anyone this becaue the entire world will probably see it, but I wanted to say it anyway.

Casting has a lot to do with politics, it's not necessarily about who is "right" for the job. Don't take it personally, that's just the way it works.
On the flip side; actors do films all the time that they don't want to. Sometimes actors owe the studio a film, so their hands are tied.....
Hollywood is trying to make films the whole world will "pay" to see. There are bound to be weak points. The Matrix I'm sure you realize is an enormous campaign, it's obviously not just about a film. There was tremendous thought put into each and every decision surrounding this film. Everyone is banking on it being a hit. It has to be a hit...... That's a lot of pressure when it's your ass on the line.
Just saying, don't think for a second that there is one frame of that film that hasn't been analyzed by the top people in the business (audio and film). Have a look at the credits then go research who all of these people are.... (keep in mind that these are just the people on the front line... the list is actually longer than that)

I guess they replaced TANK (or whoever the fruity black guy in the first MAtrix was) cause the real actor was stalking the directors and broke into the Warner Brothers CEO area and got caught stealing..not secrets, scripts or money...but their food. Silly fruity black guy.

Last night I got so excited about seeing this movie, I drank like 13 glasses of milk. About an hour later, I felt horrible. I ran to the bathroom and took the biggest crap of my life. It was so incredibly gross, I wanted to stop but I couldn't. The diarhea (questionable spelling) was too strong for me. And now, an hour before I am leaving for the movie, I am eating a bunch of junkfood all over again. And with all this orgy scene stuff you guys are telling me, I'm probably going to throw up all over my computer. Thanks a lot.

I hope your joking, because, even tho i couldn't tell which ones were fake when we saw their faces on normal shots (the action bits with em flying around looked too solid), the look alikes were SO EASY TO SEE! I laughed at one point when one of the guys was noticably fatter...he had that like cold-cuts chin. I hope it was in there as a joke just in case it was noticed, but the look alikes were not hard to spot...at all.
