I went to see Matrix:Reloaded last night. I don't know what all the mediocre reviews were thinking they were gonna see but I thought it was pretty damn good. Its definitely different from the first movie but good in its own right. It doesn't quite have the rush of discovery of the first one but satisfied the geek who wanted to know more about the world it takes place in. The highway scene was almost as good as it was supposed to be. Only major misstep was the fremen-tribal-rave-orgy scene. Completely useless. Also had lots of bad techno for the soundtrack (hello, oakenfold).

This review pretty well reflects my feelings on the movie.
