I don't think the story was "destroyed" I think it was just expanded. Really there are still alot of questions from Reloaded that haven't been answsered thus creating the illusion of plot holes (at least I hope....."Hope, it is the quintessential human delusion simultaneously the source of your greatest strength and your greatest weakness."😉. Also, maybe people just don't like where this matrix movie is going with the storyline, I don't agree, but it is understandable.
OK, I've seen it again....
and now I hate it even more!
It would've been better had the W...ski brothers stopped at part I.
Part II is just a bunch of unnecessary confusing crap specifically designed with plot holes to create a part III. The so called 'ending' was very crappy indeed.
We know how it's all going to end. Zion will be saved, all the humans connected to Matrix will die blah blah blah.
Such a big deal was made with this whole will Trinity die or live and then he saves her so crappily in the end. I laughed when he pulled the bullet out. How cheesy!!!! It would've been so much better had she died!
Part I is soooooo much better. It was revolutionary, part II should've never been made. Its all about the $$$$$$$$

I dont want any lip from you Matrix nerds😛
just like in star wars we all know that the palpatine will take over, become emporer, seduce anakin to the dark side, obi and anakin fight, anakin gets injured becomes darthy boy...padme has luke and leia the empire becomes established and jedi all die. We're still gonna go watch it right? we wanna know how all that stuff happens. same with matrix. besides i'm sure there will be some sort of twist in the end. the Wachowski brothers wouldn't leave it completely cut and dry with no unpredictability at all, now would they? of course not. they wouldn't
I also thought the fight scenes went on for too long. I kept thinking why is he bothering with it all? Why doesn't he do the superman thing. Then after what seemed ages he did!!
I loved the first Matrix, and I hope that I will understand the second one after seeing it a couple of more times. So much seems open to interpretation, where the first one seemed so clear to me. Maybe that is the movie makers intention. They have certainly gained my attention. 🙄
I gotta agree with Tex. The Matrix Reloaded was no way as good as the original. No way. Anyone who says its better is a fool. How can it be better? HOW!? The fight scenes were overdone and in some cases (the agent smith scene) completely pointless. In parts the script and acting were cheeeesey: "Hmmm Upgrades" and "Me me me me...... Me to." (PHWAA! take a wiff of that cheese). It had none of the originality of the first (how could it though? to be fair), but most importantly it lost alot of the magic that made the first so special. And wats all this about Trinity living, for once why can't our characters except the fact that someone has died? How would Neo cope with the loss of Trinity, could link, neo and morpheus stop the machines alone? Wouldn't that be a more interesting way of continueing with the trilogy. 😠
Bits i really liked were, Neo talking to the Oracle. Bless her. Neo stopping the machines at the end and the uncharted areas like the choridors and doorways to different places. I liked these because they were things i didn't expect to come up in this film. Alot of the rest was just blown up and predictable. But don't get me wrong, i liked it, i thought it was good but there was a lot that i didn't like in the film. I just hope Revolutions can respark the original matrix magic.
Ok, here's my take. The plot complexities were excellent. My personal favorite part of the first movie was the unique understanding that was aquired by finding out what the Matrix was. However, when I went to see the Reloaded, I figured it wouldn't be able to surprise me with new information about the state of their world. But seriously, finding out that Neo's position as The One was designed by the machines as an extra means of control? That's just crazy. I was blown away. Again. So anybody who says the plot is too complex needs to watch the scene with the architect very carefully to understand, and then everything will make sense. Otherwise, the fight scenes were badass, and the effects were brilliant. If you want me to say something negative, then I guess my only disappointment in the movie was in Burly Brawl, when Neo is kicking the crap out of the Smiths. It is sometimes obvious that Reeves has been replaced with a digitally rendered character. Other than that, The Matrix Reloaded is the best movie I have seen. Ever. Period.
