The Matrix: Reloaded **Spoilers**

again, i rest my case. this movie kicks ass.

maybe you just have ADD.

huh huh, you said cum...

I thought that the whole movie in general was fuckin awesome. I even thought that the rave scene was great and had actually contributed to the theme of the movie. If there's one thing I've learned from watching the first Matrix, its that the Wachowskis overload their movies with symbolism and don't waste anytime just throwing in any random events as filler. If you watch the movie again and for the most part, ignore the fight scenes, you'll be able to come away with a greater understanding of it.

And the greatest thing about the Matrix and the Wachowskis, is that in order to "get" the movies, you have to actually think and maybe even do a little bit of research, which to me is fucking great

here here!

i know, i gotta get my hands on teh animatrix...

great movie! and if it didnt live up to your expectations then youre a fuckin idiot! people nowadays expect neo to reach his hand through the silver screen and touch each of them individually on their heads in order to meet their expectations. cant wait for the finale!

i think it's fairly obvious that neo is a program, or at least a biological anomaly--sort of a human/program hybrid. you kinda lose me with the rest of it though. i have to say i disagree--i think you're reading too much into the architect's words. i think he just meant, the matrix as in...the matrix, still with the convention of the real world outside of it. i think the reason neo stops the sentinel at the end of this movie is because he is a hybrid or anomaly of some sort, but remember also that humans are batteries for this machine system. theoretically, a single "power surge" from a person capable of harnessing their own energies would stop a sentinel. and it's not like neo starts fighting machines in the "real world" like he fights agents in the matrix--taking out a single sentinel (and remember, there were 250,000 of them that destroyed zion) puts him in a coma.

i think only the third movie will really answer a lot of these questions.

I loved this movie, the movies that make u think are the best kind, i think it helped to know a bit about computer programming in the end though.

let me preface my statements by telling you all that i ALWAYS miss the movie bandwagons. the first matrix, all of the new star wars, spider-man...i saw them all on video. for some reason, when i actually do go to the movies, i'll end up seeing some shit that's not even worth its time on HBO.

so i was determined not to miss the matrix: reloaded.

i ended up missing the first 20 or so minutes. the stupid internet posted the wrong times for the stupid theater, so i was late. i was dissapointed because not only do i hate walking into a dark theater ('scuse me...pardon me...) i enjoy previews. but i didn't let a little tardiness weaken my resolve. i walked in, sat in the first chair i could see wasn't occupied...

...and the next thing i knew, (dun dun DUN!!) it was over!! and i wasn't even insulted by the overly dramatic ending music. in fact, i think i said something like "dammit!!"

while i'm no CGI expert, nor am i a matrix fanatic, i thought it was a great movie...action-packed, decent plot & storyline, bad bad guys, attractive good guys...i couldn't have asked for anything more. wait, i did have one issue, but i'll get to that at the end.

i loved that neo could fly, had x-ray vision, of sorts, and could bring trinity back to life. someone, i think it was howard stern, said that they wished the story would have shown neo discovering these new powers, and focused a little on developing them, but i totally disagree. i thought it was great that neo was like "damn, i need to fly now" and suddenly, he's in the air. the best part of the movie, imo, was during the car chase scene...w/ trinity on the motorcycle. crotch rockets always freak me out, but get one of them going against traffic and i'm at the edge of my seat. and finally, i loved the keymaker.

the only thing i was slightly dissapointed with was larry fishburn. morpheous was a bad mammajamma in the first one, but i didn't really feel that way this time around. he was kinda schlubby looking.

overall, it was great, and i'd like to see it again. but since revolutions is coming out in the near future, i don't want to press my luck with the see-good-movies fates.

p.s. kind of a tough crowd here....i'll bet jaws 3D didn't impress you fuckers, either.

Pfft, of course - the more things you hate the more intelligent you must be. It's simple logic. :rolleyes:

no, it's just disx. he was shrink wrapped in 1993 during a particularly inspired, eddie-vedder esque rant about the corporatization of music and "poseurs" and released again, still screaming, in 2003. unfortunately, the effect of the preservation process was to overload his brain with chemicals causing extreme anger, hostility, and a twisted vendetta against anyone weak enough to admit liking something. that, and it made him a hunchbacked old man who walks with a cane and yells at kids to get off the damn lawn, even when it's not his lawn.

i have yet to see this movie on account of me not really caring for it (and neo looks real dumb in that asian gown he's wearing, almost nancyish) but i heard neo's a program. if the matrix's control only stretches into the fake world, where computers live and all that shit. well than how does neo exist in the real world?

Why don't people read what I write?

Neo is not a machine. His mind is merely now a part of the matrix. When he goes into a coma, it is him willingly entering the matrix, without the need of being "plugged in," as, you see, his mind is now (semi-)permanently connected with the matrix, his body in the real world.

This is not speculation. This is [I] fact [/I]. All confirmed in Enter the Matrix.

all hail leonardshelby, the world's authority on the Matrix!

Ghee what the hell crawled up your ass? I said I [i]liked[/i] the fuggin movie. If you're gonna be a bitch, at least throw it in the right direction. Pick out something I actually don't like, instead of giving me shit for not liking 2 things I -do- like and have said so... Blah.

im sorry but this isnt a lfick that makes you think. sure it makes you think about computer programming, but thats it. and if that is what qualifies as being a movie that makes you think, well than Die-Hard was a movie that made me think, i now know what to do if a bunch of German terrorists try to take a buch of building exec's hostage. movies that make you think actually make you really think about usefull things i.e. life, values beliefes etc., not computer hacking and whether or not a bunch of kitchen untensils in fornt of you are really there or not.

hey! i have an idea!! how about, we all had DIFFERENT OPINIONS on the movie???? how's that, huh? ooh, and this is a little edgy, but it just might work...how about, if our opinions are different from yours, knoxville, maybe we're NOT stupid? but just have different opinions? maybe????

nah, never mind. since we liked the matrix, we're all losers and idiots. thanks for enlightening me to my true identity.
