"Well, *I* thought Reloaded was good."

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.

Of course, I understood what the French guy said when he said it was the best language for swearing, being half-french and all.

And it was pretty damn funny.

Half French?

*spits*

Wait... is that racist?

*spits again*

Anyway, as for spoilers. I would ASSUME that a thread which will no doubt hold my opinions of the film would contain spoilers. You should have STOPPED reading as soon as you knew that. But then, common sense isn't very common nowadays, is it?

I think it was the fact that it said "to be concluded" at the end. It left me feeling a bit cheated. :(

But the chase is inside the Matrix so the laws of physics do not apply...

Yeah his wife said he was in the girls toilets when she came down to hallway. Lol.

Saw this film for the secnd time at cineam today, still was good.

Vote The craziest Col!

Brillient film, but I have concluded that the ending was sh**e.

About the EMP at the end:

Neo did it, there's no way it could be a coincidence between the EMP from the ship, for one thing, Neo mentioned that something was different, that he could feel the sentinels. Another was the fact that the EMP "started" when Neo put out his hand, another is Neo went into the coma straight afterwards. Coincidence?

Plus, for the hovercraft to use the EMP, it would have to be turned off, that way the electronic circuits inside would still operate. THere's no way it could use an EMP, start up, and get there in that amount of time, it woul;d have to have been travelling out of range of the EMP at a constant speed to make it there in such a short time.

Who said Neo didn't do it?

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