MATRIX², Agent Smith returns.

Can Warner Bros. do it again? It isn’t often that a sequel is as good as the original or better. Warner Bros is trying to push the envelop with this trilogy, releasing The Matrix Reloaded in May and Matrix Revolutions in November. There is a video game, Enter the Matrix and an anime series, Animatrix also in the mix. The thought of trying this leaves me feeling a bit skeptical on the standard of quality. After reading the article in Wired, I am convinced that this will be a superb film. I recall seeing The Matrix, after leaving the theatre I believed that there couldn’t be a better movie. (I loved it!) The Matrix Reloaded will show the new powers of Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and Agent Smith. That’s right, Agent Smith is back and he is pissed. According to the article, he now is a computer virus able to replicate himself at will. This new ability will set the stage for a scene that will surpass Bullet Time. The scene to watch for is dubbed The Burly Brawl. The scene is so spectacular that in order to shoot it, action director, John Gaeta, had to reinvent cinematography. The best of the best martial arts choreographer, Yuen Woo-Ping, was brought back to orchestrate the ultimate fight scene. Other characters, such as, the Evil Twins, Keymaker, and Niobe (played by Jada Pinkett-Smith) will provide other dimensions to the film that are sure to make this movie great. The Matrix was nominated for four Academy Awards, I am betting that The Matrix Reloaded will do better. I’m also willing to bet that it will win this year’s MTV best fight scene for a movie.
