Less than 48 hours until The Matrix: Reloaded, and several SPOILER-filled negative reviews are popping up online. So, it looks like some diminished expectations are in order for Wednesday evening. I kinda feared this would be the case after X2 turned out so swimmingly.

I can’t be that bad.
hmmm well i heard the original had around 410 graphic scenes and this one has over a grand so I bet you some of the limited genuine dialogue of the first will be drowned out by twice as much slow-mo bullet dodging as the first. It may boil down to a distinction akin to the one between the two lotr movies – one may just be much more different in nature (and hence trying to achieve a different end, ect…) than the other.
I don’t trust AICN, and who knows, the guy from the New Yorker might have been constipated that day. Just keep repeating to yourself … “It’s only a review, it’s only a review, it’s only a review. We mustn’t pay attention to reviews before a film’s release, we mustn’t pay attention to reviews before a film’s release … ”
Well, unless it’s so bad that it makes headlines, like “Heaven’s Gate” or “Ishtar”.
