Matrix: Reloaded

[Master of Blades]

I have only found one problem with the Martix Reloaded...And thats the first time you watch it you got a whole load of dialogue being thrown at you about a load of random things and it feels REALLY slow moving. However the third time you watch it and you have finally understood exactly what the Architect said you notice that it really is fast moving! Although it may seem like it there really isnt that much time between fights and stuff and its worth seeing again just to enjoy the action instead of trying to figure out what the hell they just said.

And the leather and glasses? Who cares! Its cool!

But for all you people who wont take that as answer.........Its Neo....he can mold the Matrix however he wants......he can fly and screw with gravity.....so whats to stop him from making his glasses never fall off or break :asian:

*lotsa spoilers ahead

well Zion is only around...what? 100 years old or so. this Zion that is.

i suppose it looks primitive because it is primitive. plus when you live day to day fighting for survival, things like fashion and such aren't really important to you. look at these countries in real life who have advanced technology, yet their people live in poverty.

but at the same time, without reading into it too much, i would say it's probably a stylistic choice on the part of the wachowski bros. to have zion look that way. it provides a stronger contrast between the zion world and the matrix world. a very obvious contrast no doubt, but a contrast just the same.

but there's always been a lot of things that were "too obvious" in the matrix. take the first movie when the guy comes to neo's apartment to pick up that disk, he calls him "his own personal jesus christ" or something like that. ok...we get it...neo is supposed to represent jesus christ. he dies and is ressurected by the end of the movie when trininty (the holy spirit) kisses him. just a little overboard for me.

the "rave scene" (which should have been cut to about 30 seconds to a minute) is supposed to represent the last supper. the merovingian (sp) is supposed to be the devil (way overblown hints at who he represents...i mean com'on..."my wife's name is percefony (sp?)")

basically, i think the movie would have been accepted better by the general public if it were about 20 minutes shorter.

still, every time i go to see the movie (four times so far) i catch something new that i missed. things like the oracle feeding crows when neo goes to see her and things like that. my biggest question so far about the movie is who is the man being escorted out of the merovingian's restaraunt? you know he is important, just don't know who he is supposed to be.

MOB...check out my "matrix spoiler thread" in this forum that has the text from the dialouge between neo and the architect if you haven't already.

as for those who don't like the fact that neo is untouchable now, the third movie may cure your woes. it seems we will see neo in a much more vulnerable state, fighting a bit when he is out of the matrix, dealing with the threat of smith being present both in and out of it. no more kung-fu powers outside of the matrix... or are there?

I believe its Persophone

Anyways, my theory is that Neo and agent Smith are now both permantly connected to the Matrix.......

BUT, what I did prefer about this movie was the more Computer approach to it.....In the first Matrix it was just a world where you can break the rules......This one is now a real computer programme with hacks and a lot more computer terms.

Also, the trailer for Revolutions looks great! That Smith Neo fight looks good......And that Chinese guy protecting the Oracle is back to kick ***! He looked so wicked.....in fact Im tempted to go out and buy a white Kung Fu top and some black vest and track suits.....Just so I can look THAT cool


ALSO, I hope the twins are back in the next movie.....Cuz they rule AND they are British! They used to be on Carol Vordermans Garden show or something :rofl:

I think everyone (including the critics) is missing the full computer reference to this movie. Almost everything you see on the the screen could be refenced by a computer game (or two). Think about the different scenes...then think about your favorite games...
Did a "hero" in a computer game... like Duke ever loose his glasses? Mess up his hair? The chase scenes on the freeway..remind you of any games? The visuals were stunning!


My wife didn't appreciate the movie as much as I did, but she enjoyed it. She was laughing at me when I was laughing at Smith during the fight scene...when he looks at the camera and says "More" ( there were already 20 or 30 Smiths by then). The fight sound was awsome too! The "smack" of the pipe against a couple of the Smiths sounded real.

Any way ...on the way out of the show I noticed Bruce Almighty was playing in theater 6 so we snuck in there....
that s a funny movie guys...take your girls to that one... its a good trade off!

i also enjoyed bruce almighty. not the greatest movie ever or anything, but it was pleasantly good. i usually like Jim Carey as well.

i payed for my ticket though...

Hey do ya think that "Smith" got his name and the reference to his name from the fact that there is hundreds in the phone book and hundreds in the Matrix?

Do ya think he would make a Great Elven lord?
