 Worst Sequel EVER!
Episode I, Batman & Robin, even Mortal Kombat Annihilation were better sequels than this piece of crap. The Powerade commercial before the movie had more of a story than the actual film did. I can sit here all day and bash this terrible waste of a movie, but instead, I, Bubs, present to you my rules for a decent movie sequel...
Rule #1 - When the first movie is a hit, DO NOT say, "Hmmm...the first movie made us millions... HEY everybody, The Matrix is actually a trilogy!!"
Rule #2 - The CG in the video game should not be more believable than the movie's.
Rule #3 – Please develop a plot that will tie-in, or even progress the story from the first film. But do it before the last 10 minutes of the movie.
Rule #4 – Cut all music video sex scenes that last longer than the credits.
Rule #5 – Finally, pick someone to be the main antagonist in the movie, then develop the story around the hero and the villain. Six bad guys in one film is five too many.
Stick with these basic rules and you’ll have a movie that’s worthy of an X-Men sequel.
I’m not trying to discourage anyone from seeing this movie… but before you plunk down your Ten bucks to see The Matrix Reloaded, you may want to get loaded. You may actually enjoy watching this incredibly expensive waste of film.
By the way, if anyone wants to pass the rules on to George Lucas, it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
