Harry Knowles of uber-famous geek website Ain't It Cool News has laid into The Matrix Reloaded, claiming it didn't live up to his expectations. Fair enough you might think, but read what his expectations were and you'll see how much of a fat, geeky comic book guy he really is - he wanted to see Neo fighting werewolves, vampires and ghosts and was disappointed when it didn't happen. Newsflash for you lardass - the two twins were ghosts, they just didn't wear sheets on their heads and go 'wOoOoOohh'. And the guy shot with the silver bullet? I'm guessing he was a werewolf too, only not so obvious that he had claws and hair sprouting from his back.
He also says the film is disappointing because we don't get to see Neo teach other people his powers... even though Neo is THE ONE, which means he is the only ONE who can use powers like he can... idiot. He also completely misreads the end of the film by saying he couldn't believe that the destruction of Zion by the machines was passed over so quickly in the final moments of the film. Umm... that's because it hasn't happened yet, and they were talking about the machines destroying the counter-attack, which they clearly state. Anyone who's bothered to do any research on the movies would know that the third Matrix movie sees the battle between man and machine for the fate of Zion.
Big fat ginger geeks shouldn't be allowed to have film websites if they're going to spout ill-informed opinions like his. For the record, this is the man who praised movies like Daredevil and XXX to high heaven. Draw your own conclusions from this.
Oh, and I'm not saying that anyone who dislikes this film is wrong, because I can totally see why it's not to everyone's tastes... but this guy? Sheesh.

Ending for Revolutions:
THe Sentinels destroy Zion, everyone dies.
THe robots dance.
Smith builds his perfect world.
WOuld be hilarious, I want to see the humans lose in a film for once.

But that would relieve Smith of being the best baddie ever.
Smith should become The One. He should get all his powers from Neo, because he's such a better character.

A disturbing thought, but i can sympathise with him.

Smith has to take over the Matrix somehow, which somehow results in it not being totally destroyed because Neo went through the wrong door.
Harry Knowles.

** REVOLUTIONS SPOILER **
Apparently, Smith tries to repopulate the entire human capacity of the Matrix with duplicates of himself. According to a rumour, Smith isn't the only person who can duplicate himself by the end of the third movie. Odds for a 1000 Smiths vs 1000 Neos final sequence?
Oh baby.

Yeah, but the set-up to that would have to be a Neo sacrfices himself for the good of mankind deal. Not very original.
On that note, after seeing the end-of-credits trailer, I reckon the coma that Neo is in means he's trapped in the Matrix somehow. In the trailer it looks like he wakes up in the Matrix.

I think the Matrix should crash while they're all in it, so they're sort of free but sort of dead.
Why not? It'd be better than "Look we've won, the Matrix is down. Let's dance again and watch Neo and Trinity have sex again. Morpheus gets together with Niobe, Link and his wife are happy. Hooray."
That'd suck even more. Maybe Neo's a program himself. I'd like that, but you have to go with the "real world" being the fail-safe Matrix.
