I had this dream...

I found a magic lamp and rubbed it, and out popped a genie who offered me one wish.
"Great! I said. "I want my love handles to vanish!"

And then I woke up and my ears had fallen off.

Matrix Reloaded

Well, I have to say that despite the negative reviews I've read of this one, I thought it rocked. A bit plot-and-exposition heavy at times, I wouldn't go and see this for the script, but then who would?
As an example of cinematic art, it is excellent - I'd say unsurpassed in some instances (the Neo/Agent Smith fight has to be one of the best - if not the best- fight scenes I've ever seen).
The pedantry of some of the reviews saddens me. Like Star Wars people expected the experience of the first and didn't get it; something is only new and groundbreaking once, so why expect it to be so the second time around? I went in expecting more of the same, but more impressive, more audacious, and more imaginative.

And that's just exactly what I got out of it. Bingo. Four and a half stars.
