Just got back from seeing it with a bunch of college mates. One of my other mates saw it and said it was crap, but didn't want to say why so it wouldn't be spoilt for us.

Now I want to know what was wrong with it in his eyes.

The Matrix started well, slowed down then had an amazing last twenty or so minutes (everything from Neo walking into the government building)

Reloaded started slow then picked up pace. The rave/love scene was pointless. The first 10/20 minutes or so just made it look like Neo and Trinity were desperate to have sex, not that they were in love.

But the Neo/100 Smiths scene was amazing. The fight with the humans was good, and the car chase was what made me decide "Yeah, this film rules."

Neo doing a Superman and flying really fast to save his bird was really good, but it was painfully obvious she was going to die and he'd bring her back.

I think I was the only one who wasn't bothered by Neo frying the machines at the end. I accepted it because either he has powers outside the Matrix, or they are, in fact, in another sort of Matrix or something similar.

Looking forward to the sequel and the DVD of this one. Balls to anyone who said it's pants, it's blatantly not. It's an entertaining film, nothing more, nothing less. And that's all that matters.

But the fact that Neo is effectively invincible renders any form of drama through him being in danger useless, which is why the only credible threat had to be him hopelessly outnumbered.

And because the film would be as boring as crap if he just flew off all the time.

The 100-Smiths fight is one of the greatest technical accomplishments in cinema, as well as being damn entertaining to watch. Why question it?

One thing that struck me was the pointlessness of it all.

Neo waits to have a ten minute fight before he decided to fly off.
Why didn't he just do that at the start..?

That's because it didn't actually end.

There's so many topics in this forum that include the theories.
THis was the first Reloaded topic I saw.
