Harry Knowles of uber-famous geek website Ain't It Cool News has laid into The Matrix Reloaded, claiming it didn't live up to his expectations. Fair enough you might think, but read what his expectations were and you'll see how much of a fat, geeky comic book guy he really is - he wanted to see Neo fighting werewolves, vampires and ghosts and was disappointed when it didn't happen. Newsflash for you lardass - the two twins were ghosts, they just didn't wear sheets on their heads and go 'wOoOoOohh'. And the guy shot with the silver bullet? I'm guessing he was a werewolf too, only not so obvious that he had claws and hair sprouting from his back.
He also says the film is disappointing because we don't get to see Neo teach other people his powers... even though Neo is THE ONE, which means he is the only ONE who can use powers like he can... idiot. He also completely misreads the end of the film by saying he couldn't believe that the destruction of Zion by the machines was passed over so quickly in the final moments of the film. Umm... that's because it hasn't happened yet, and they were talking about the machines destroying the counter-attack, which they clearly state. Anyone who's bothered to do any research on the movies would know that the third Matrix movie sees the battle between man and machine for the fate of Zion.
Big fat ginger geeks shouldn't be allowed to have film websites if they're going to spout ill-informed opinions like his. For the record, this is the man who praised movies like Daredevil and XXX to high heaven. Draw your own conclusions from this.
Oh, and I'm not saying that anyone who dislikes this film is wrong, because I can totally see why it's not to everyone's tastes... but this guy? Sheesh.

His review has many elements which are true. However I lost all taste for him when he licked XXX and called it a good film.
Urgh. Still one of the other reviews at aintitcool is quite good for the Matrix Reloaded - its fair and gives it a fair review.
7/10 is a nice score :D

I'd give it an 8 or 9, after a second viewing. Not perfect, but what film is? Even Star Wars had a terrible script. It was nice to see fat Harry get owned in the Ain't It Cool talkbacks too. Anyone who liked Daredevil is not allowed to voice their opinions publicly.

I can't believe AICN gets so much press coverage...I only go there to see the stuff written by Hercules.
His review does seem to be a bit mis-informed.
Why would you want to see Werewolves and Vampires? In a computer program that simulates real life that's just ridiculous.

And the thing is, from what I've read Knowles' opinion seems to carry genuine credence amongst some film companies.
Grrrr Snuggly.
I have ginger hair, and my opinion is just as valid as anyone elses.
At least I'm not fat though, I'm very skinny actually....hmmm... lucky.
