"Matrix: Retardlotions - my review. *no spoilers*"

I was shocked! I was amazed!

Possibly the worst film I've ever seen at the cinema. Its script doesn't hold together, the narrrative and structure is terrible and the best characters don't even feature that heavily.

I didn't think it was possible for a film to be so coherantly bad, yet this one manages to collect itself into small pieces of crap before ending in a blatent and unspectacular manner. I wish they hadn't made the sequels, the first was so good.

Try and argue that this film was good? I'll let you pass.
Try and argue that this film was great? Your an idiot who knows nothing and likes seeing repetitive rubbish that you cannot understand or follow. It made no sense and argh... I can't go on.

I gave it a chance, I thought I'd actually be quite good. Urgh.

I was shocked. I was amazed.

Didn't the Oracle say that the Architect was a bit short-sighted, everything was an equation with an answer to him? What he said would happen, did happen; It's just he only saw two possible outcomes, but Neo, being human and having freedom of choice, took a 3rd option. That didn't change the inevitable end.

I'm dense because you're wrong?

I see you're well versed in fuzzy logic.

This is what I'm talking about, you're too dense. You can't see the wood for the trees.

And of course that means there will be another 7th iteration of the one, a corresponding agent smith, and the whole thing will happen again. Revolution, see?

Destruction of Zion?

Selection of people to rebuild it?

No?

Anyone?

Do I have to repeat what I just posted? The code Neo carries was disseminated back into the Matrix (it was refreshed at the point you saw the little girl wake up next to the cat)... the catastrophic failure was avoided and the machines were saved (they need the matrix to survive). It's just Neo chose a different path

Doesn't matter given that I was refuting the suggestion that "everything the Architect spoke about" happened in Revolutons. It doesn't.

It did happen. That's why Neo plugged himself into the machines at the source, that's why they carried off his glowing yellow body.

Neo could either have taken the shortcut to the source at the end of Reloaded, returned voluntarily, or do what he did and fly there physically after saving Trinity, so that the "catastrophic failure" i.e. Agent Smith could be removed - using himself as a bargaining chip to save Zion.

Before you rant about being factually accurate....

Is what you said a fact and rule within the Matrix or was it just something The Architect told Neo to try and convince him to do that?

Information wise Reloaded and Revolutions were long winded. But it all ties in and makes sense in the end.

Urrreally?

"The function of the One is now to return to the source allowing a temporary dissemination of the code you carry reinserting the prime program after which you will be required to select from the matrix 23 individuals, 16 female 7 male, to rebuild Zion."

That didn't happen. Or did I miss the complete (and "exceedingly efficient") destruction of Zion at the hands of the machines?

Oh no, that's right, it didn't happen!

If you're going to try to be a smartarse, at least try to be factually accurate.
