Two cents: The Matrix Reloaded

Two cents: The Matrix Reloaded has everything going for it except for a believable storyline, good dialogue, or good actors. As a friend of mine commented, "It's like a porn/action movie, where they hashed out the action sequences and simply placed some really bad dialogue in between." The movie characters pontificate more often than Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson, with about as much reality. I was so disappointed, as the first film amazed me. The dance scene just needs some Ewoks, you can't spell Kryptonite without Keanu, Yoda needs to spin around in one of those ridiculous fight scenes, and the new orphan kid is almost as annoying as JarJar Binks. Did the directors have to take all their cues from the George Lucas Dialogue Debacle dictionary?

Two cents redemption: A sequel that might be even more disappointing, or possibly more magical.
