Matrix Reloaded

Posted by spblat on May 22, 2003 10:38 AM

I guess I can't have a blog and not mention The Matrix, since everyone who knows me knows how much I loved the first one. Here's what I wrote to a friend recently about it.

I was such a huge fan of the original (and by extension the storytellers) that the sequel could have been home movies of Larry and Andy Wachowski drinking tequila in their basement and I would have thought it was fabulous.

But it was better than that. I wasn't disappointed at all--there was so much psuedo-philosophical babble and so many unanswered questions that I'll be seeing it again at least once.
