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.

No it wouldn't. That would in fact be the worst twist in cinema history. If the Wachowskis dare to pull that one off, I'm going to smash them up reeeal nice with my baseball bat.
They wouldn't. Would they?

i've thought it will all be a dream for ages now. I really hope that isn't the ending tho. It's the sort of ending a kid would write if he cant think of a good end to a story.
I hope that The Matrix is Neo's dream, and at the end of Revolutions it'd show Thomas Anderson waking up at his computer screen where he was searching for info on Morpheus at the beginning of the first film.
Twould be a good twist.

He is, to all extents and purposes, the real life Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.

Isn't he the fat ginger geek who slated Rollerball? John McTiernan invited him out, all at his own expense, got him a hotel room, invited him to parties and stuff, and when he left... he slated Rollerball again.
Nerd.

I like this film.
Saw it last night.
Excellent.
Is that ginger dude the one on Game Network as well?

Yeah, when I first saw the architect before they started talking I was wondering if he was supposed to be god... It was quite cunning having all the stuff about the different versions, and each time having 'The One' like a computer virus which essentially messes up the system. Also, thinking about it the 'God' reference is even more relevant, because Morpheous (or however you spell it) believes this prophecy of 'the one' and believes the Oracle is kinda all knowing, when infact that's because she was the one who created the current version of the Matrix. Also the creator goes on about how he originally created a perfect world, which ties in with what Agent Smith was going on about in the original when torturing Morpheous.

There's a final showdown between Smith and Neo in the Matrix and there's likely a huge fight between all the forces in Zion and the machines. They also have to explain how Neo was able to destroy those machines in the tunnel... that bugs me. And they'll really have to pull out all the stops for the ending... if they have an ending that people expect it'll get a hell of a lot of criticism... and there will probably be a hell of a lot of theories on how it ends by the time Revolutions is out.

And everytime there is stories of ghosts, ailens, werewolves and vampires it is an example of these programs.

Yes, rogue programs that went into exile rather than face deletion. They're misbehaving programs.
Weren't One and Two computer programs, like the Oracle and the Architect?
