Good but the heavy plot and Shakespearean tone makes it more difficult for itself

News reaches Zion of an army of sentinels amassing on the surface many miles above the city, clearly preparing for an invasion. While the city prepares for a counter attack on the sentinels, Morpheus pins his hopes on Neo and... Read more at imdb.com

New characters for new action figures. The writers try to flesh out the Matrix world in number 2 and as a result, the plot gets more contrived and harder to follow, but the agents get cooler. I had a feeling there... Read more at imdb.com

Watching The Matrix Reloaded, one is absolutely entitled to say that it is overloaded, too lengthy action sequences for instance, and indeed, a way too lengthy dancing scene in Zion. But next to that, it is obvious that this sequal... Read more at imdb.com

the flick is actually quite enjoyable, but it's neither as juicy nor as well-constructed as it deserves to be
Such disappointment may be inevitable because the expectations for this movie are so ridiculously high -- after all

PopMatters
As well, their love takes on other expressions, including sacrifice and deep penetration (including matrixy green effects).
Neos messianic mission includes Trinity as audience to his convincing Persephone, a busty (and apparently lonely) program played by Monica Bellucci, that his tongue down her throat is as meaningful as when its down Trinitys (Neo fakes it for the greater good).

Christian Spotlight on the Movie
All in all, with the pornography cut out, and the special effects extravaganza shortened to a reasonable percentage of the movie, this could have been a fantastic film.
It ruined an already bad movie.
But as for the special effects, it was great.

Theirs is a world real enough to walk around in, real enough to have spun off a concurrent short film collection called "The Animatrix," and that makes a considerable difference.
Saying what "The Matrix Reloaded" isn't turns out to be a lot less complicated: It's simply not as satisfying as the original.

The Matrix Reloaded scores with its balletic fight sequences, special effects, and sexy stars in fetish-wear. Unfortunately, its also loaded down with feeble mythmaking.
