After a strong start, it slows down a bit before picking up with action scene after action scene. The fight scenes in Reloaded triumphs over the first film but the story staggers. It presents and reveals more about the Matrix but not enough to satisfy. The answers it gives us though, are intriguing. The additions to this world feel natural and clever. Apart from these Matrix info-facts and action scenes, there's not much left for the story to develop. While it does make much more sense at the climax and the pieces fit in like a puzzle, it's not enough to say that it had a great story. Reloaded also relies heavily on CGI which is a disappointment as the CGI was not particularly realistic or well done. It's hard to tell whether it was because special effects weren't that advanced back in 2003 when it was released or they just lazed out and didn't put as much effort into them. Some of the stunts and moves were pretty sweet though, providing some nice eye-candy. Overall, it is still a decent film to watch and makes you excited to see the next one.
