Matrix Reloaded (2003)

I had very high expectations going in, since the original Matrix blew my mind. M2 starts out rather slow, building to action sequences which are at times fantastic, but mostly repetitive. It felt like a 5 star meal that's been re-microwaved.

Rating: C

The Animatrix (2003)

A very cool addition to the Matrix trilogy, unlike the second two feature films. The first 3 animated shorts were simply amazing. The other ones were varying degrees of good.

Rating: B-
