Ok...I know there are a lot of people out there who want this movie to live up to the first Matrix, but anyone who thinks it did is just kidding themselves. Seriously, tell me what Reloaded had that resembled anything by way of a plot? NOTHING!! All it had was 10 minute long fight scenes (or chase scenes, or massive orgies or soft porn scenes) every five minutes, and the five minutes of non-fighting/chasing/orgies/soft porn was undoubtedly some character's monologue that you stopped listening to after thirty seconds. maybe it's just my personal preference, but I enjoy dialogue in my movies...and a plot. A little one will do. It's appropriate they called it Reloaded cause during the movie all I wished is that I had reloaded my gun so I could have shot myself to have ended the misery. And I'm still waiting for my $8.75 back, Keanu.

When it comes to most movies made about classic novels, most people complain that it wasn't true to the novel. You can't say that about this. That's the one (and only) good point about this movie. I couldn't stand the woman who played Anne. I know she was supposed to be older, but not THAT old! She looked like she was 40! Anne's only supposed to be 27 or something like that. And I could NOT stand how she did her hair. Captain Wentworth was ok, but no where near as dashing as you imagine him when you read the book, and Captain Benwick was just plain frightening. I thought the girl who played Louisa Musgrove was really good, the same with the woman who played Mary. I don't remember having any specific complaints with any of the other characters, so I suppose they did well enough. The script was very close, sometimes word for word, with the book. However, this did make the movie rather boring. I thoroughly enjoyed the book...every time i read it. I never was bored at all throughout the entire novel, so I'm blaming my boredom on the movie's direction and acting. The character of Anne was supposed to be calm, not completely dull...which is what this actress was. Overall I must say i was disappointed with this movie. Compared to the newer version I preferred the newer one, mainly because of the actress who played Anne. This movies wasn't completely terrible, but it wasn't any good either.
