Good movie. I have one complaint. They strayed from the style of the first. This is evident in two elements of the movie, the plot line and the cinematography.
"Hollywood" got their hands on the plot and muddled it in typical fashion. There were a couple of unnecessary scenes in the beginning that detracted from the plot, but they may end up showing how they factor into the story in the next movie.
The first movie was framed as if it were part of a comic book or anime cartoon. The shots were wide and simple with few actors in view. Reloaded was focused and populated. Busy.
The special effects were fantastic. Often, I couldn't tell if it was a real person or computer generated. There was one shot, that is in all of the commecials so I am not ruining anything, where an agent is jumping onto the hood of a car on the highway. That is the only scene where you can TELL a computer was used. Every other scene, you really had to look for the signs that what you see is not real.
