There was no way any sequel to The Matrix could match the surprise and impact of the original. But the second Matrix movie, The Matrix Reloaded, does a pretty great job of delivering another entertaining slice of slightly pompous but undeniably thrilling sci-fi.
Like its predecessor, it's visually stunning, and the second instalment turns the action up considerably: there are more guns, more trench coats and more Agent Smiths getting punched than in the first movie, and there's a truly spectacular highway scene that's rightfully considered a classic.
