I came looking for the Matrix hate. Reloaded doesn't belong in the conversation with Revolutions. Half the reason everyone hates the last Matrix movie is because Reloaded was awesome.
The Matrix built an incredible world. Reloaded asked how much fun you could have in that world, and delivered. The first hour is kinda slow, but from the burly brawl onward that movie takes off.
In half an hour, you get:
The Merovingian
Persephone
Chateau fight
Morpheus vs the Twins
The best chase ever captured on film
Morpheus fights an agent on top of a semi
The whole sequence ends with a head on collision and Neo saving them at the last second.

Everything in that sequence of events makes sense from a story perspective and it's just so much damn fun. You have to view the Matrix Reloaded for what it truly is: a live-action anime. It's great at that.
It's different than the Matrix. And it's not as good a film. But it's a hundred times more fun. The sequence above alone is worth the price of admission.
