Reloaded i used to really like. I can still remember the first time the superbowl trailer was released and how awesome it looked with the agent jumping onto the hood of the car and the feeling that there is finally a Matrix sequel.
Equally seeing it in the theatre was a great experience and i bought the dvd on release. But time has'nt been kind to the sequel it feels over long and the fights are over staged.

I've stuck with these ratings over the years:

The Matrix: 10/10
The Matrix: Reloaded: 8/10
The Matrix: Revolutions: 7/10

I struggle to view Reloaded and Revolutions as separate movies. For me it's one lengthy film split in two parts, akin to Kill Bill.

I'd rate The Matrix 11/10 and the sequels 7/10.

For me it's always been:
The Matrix 10/10
Reloaded 8/10
Revolutions 9.5/10

Revolutions is my favourite third instalment of any franchise.

Damn, what a year.

Unfortunately, it's absence from the bullet point list leads me to believe "The Music Revisited: 41-Track Audio Selection Of Nearly 3 Hours Of Music" is not included.

Anal retentive funny how despite never having listened to this stuff, its absence might become an excuse for me to keep that Digibook.

Reloaded is a fantastic action film. I never hear it talked about anymore.

[OutOfBoose]

Main source of complaining in the sequels is narrative. Not action. But action isn't faultless either, since it doesn't advance the plot for the most part.

I loved Reloaded when I was a teen. I thought it was so smart and I loved how it explained things like ghosts and coincidences.

As an adult, not so much. It's still a good movie but it doesn't feel as smart anymore. It feels like what a teenager would think is a smart movie.

Revolutions, I didn't care for it then and I don't care for it now. It's too much mech and Zion stuff and not enough Neo. There are certain scenes that are good but it's a bit of a chore to get through to me.

Yeah, I happen to like it a lot. I remember when I saw it in a packed theater I could literally hear people sighing during the more talkative scenes. I think this is a great sequel and a perfect follow up to the original. All the more reason I want/need it (and Revolutions) on UHD also.

Looking forward to this landmark film to finally hit 4K!

Im sort of with you here. Both sequels have their moments of greatness but also fall into "bleh" moments a lot too. A tad too action heavy at times. The fighting actually gets boring after a while. Little too much of it.

Revolutions is the hardest to get through, yeah. I still like it and watch it whenever I watch the series but it loses its "heady" edge and just becomes a rock 'em sock 'em action flick.

Still, Im NOT happy that we are only getting the first one in UHD. Thats just dumb, IMO. Yet, they are releasing a Rambo box set with all 4 films. The first one is a masterpiece. The rest are completely worthless to me. They are releasing the WRONG complete film sets in UHD and releasing the wrong single-only titles in UHD. WTF?

I like Reloaded. But that exposition dump at the end is excruciating, and only gets worse with multiple viewing, imo. Most everything else about the movie is up to par with the first one, then it drives itself off a cliff...

Revolutions took exposition to the next level and just made the trilogy painful to get through.

The Matrix isn't just a 10 of 10. It's a classic. It is enough of a self contained movie that I'm fine if it's the only one released.

Although, I have nothing against them releasing all for fans of the other movies.

I love the Architect speech. A highlight of the series for me. Always gets my Xenogears turning.

[OutOfBoose]

I love Xenogears, but not the architect's speech.

Down to $24.99.

I think that his speech is an apropos exemplification of The Male Side of the Brain and The Matrix!

I once had the whole interaction between him and Neo memorized and would quote along while the scene played out! I can't wait for it to inevitably arrive on 4K.

Price almost sounds too good to be true for WB.
