10 Trailers That Were Way Better Than Their Films

2. The Matrix: Reloaded

Matrix Reloaded After one of the most mesmerising films of the 90€™s in The Matrix, people were understandably eager for more. With two instalments filmed back to back and aiming for release within 6 months of each other, the series became muddled in over complication. Characters were no longer interesting as the filmmakers looked to expand a world that was already compelling. In the trailer for the first sequel Reloaded, we hear the soothing tones of Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus stating €œI believe this night holds, for each and every one of us, the very meaning of our lives€. Now, how you€™re not meant to fist pump the air with excitement at that is beyond me. Unfortunately the film never delivers on this, and is a shadow of the greatness that was its predecessor. http://youtu.be/acmbihkmeVg

As a pretty nerdy guy, I've loved film and television since I was a wee lad. Growing up in Ireland, The Den was the show to watch with it playing Batman The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation and everything in between. I have an MA in Radio and Television Production and have written for various sites, hope you enjoy my articles/lists for What Culture!
