I haven't read through the thread so I'm just tagging my reply to the end. Here's my 2 cents. And it's worth just that...

Reloaded sufferrs from verbal diahhrea, fight scenes that go on (and on and on and on). and general big-budget movie bloat.

The first Matrix was a tight film. The philosophy was well communicated without a lot of exposition. The theme of believing in one's self to accomplish your goals was well done. The theme of Morpheus' and Trinity's undying belief and devotion to Neo is well done. The fight scenes were fun but also part of the character development.

Reloaded aspired to be these things and fell short.
