The Matrix Reloaded was released in the United States today and I ran out early in the morning, as soon as the store opened and picked it up. Man, i love these movies, even though Keanu Reeves is not a very good actor. It was still a good movie. So, i was just wondering what you all thought of Reloaded, the original Matrix, theories you may have of what will happen in the third installment, and any other comments, criticisms, etc. about the Matrix. Keep on rockin and rollin!!
Matrix Reloaded
- Thread starter WC-Madman
- Start date
Well, as for the guys who didn't understand what the architect was saying, that's odd, cause most people i talked to who saw it understood him. I understood what he was saying for the mostpart; my only complaint is that he was talking a little fast, for all the information he was giving out. I'm not the smartest man in the world, but for the mostpart, his dialogue was pretty much cut and dry. To each his own. When you refer to "kid", are you referring to Neo or to the kid with the spoons in part 1? Nevertheless, i did entertain the "star wars" father-son angle. My friends thought i was out of my mind, but it's not that far fetched. Honestly, though, I really don't think the connection will be father-son, but i do believe that Neo and Agent Smith have a connection that will be explained in Revolutions. Another theory that refers to star wars is that of a dark and a light/good side. Perhaps Neo and Agent Smith are both "chosen ones", and Neo is the "light" or good side, as where Agent Smith is the "dark" side of the perverbial "force" that is the matrix. Just a thought. Sorry for the length of this entry, but when i get going about the matrix, i tend to get wordy. Keep on rockin and rollin!!
Matrix was sucj a cool movie. It was new, refreshing, full of insight, left you sitting on the edge of your chair... it's even enjoyable when watching it again and again...
But...
Reloaded was just so B-O-R-I-N-G!
Talk, talk, talk, talk... oh, hey, let's beat sombody up... wham-bam boring fight sequence... o.k. enough of that, let's talk some more... and so on...
I don't know, I almost fell asleep in the middle...

I agree with zoobi. The first movie is a modern classic in action movies. Great story, good action, but "reloaded" was so actionpacked but still so boring. I liked the highway sequence, though, but take the fight scene with all the smiths. Technically perfect, but I thought to myself: Why fight ten minutes before escaping like Superman? He could have done that after 1 minute!
Well me thinks it was too Deep for a part two. Not blaming the directors and the fans but my pea sized brain couldn't register all the deep mumbo jumbo speech by Morpheus or the Kentucky Fried Chicken Colonel look-a-like guy. Someone tell me what Monica Belucci's character was doing in the movie....I mean what the hell was her role other then killing the werewolves and getting kissed by Neo. Last but not least the ending was....uh how shall I put this....a dead end. Happened very suddenly and just stopped on a dime, if you know what I mean. Well those are my opinions. Fight sequences were damn good though, but why take on a bunch of Agent Smiths when you can fly away......and another thing.....naaaah just kidding thats all i have to say. Can't wait till REVOLUTIONS.
I like movies with a good plot, interesting characters, well-written dialogue, and good acting. The first movie had all of these elements... well maybe the acting could have been better, we are talking about Keanu Reeves.. j/k, I don't like him generally, but he's wasn't too bad in that role. Hugo Weaving and Laurence Fishbourne were the main strengths of the movie acting-wise.
Let me just say that I rarely like ANY sequels, because I think it's tough to take characters that were already interesting for 2 hrs and give them enough interesting things to say and do for ANOTHER 2 hrs. Obviously, there are exceptions to this, (and I don't count movies like LOTR here, because they're based upon a pre-existing, classic set of novels in the first place).
That said, I was not that taken with Reloaded. I wouldn't say it was bad, I just didn't think it was all that great. The plot didn't do much for me... it was OK, but not much more. The dialogue was terrible. People say it was too talky...I usually go for dramas so I "like" talky movies... this script wasn't just talky, it was lame talky. In all fairness, I think much of the "mumbo-jumbo" they were saying in Reloaded will mean more after Revolutions, so maybe I'll change my mind about this after seeing the next installment. As I said before, it's tough to take pre-existing characters and make them stay interesting in a 2nd movie, so I was basically bored with that aspect of the film, and I didn't find the new characters very memorable either.
So what does that leave you with? A so-so movie with spectacular special effects, that's what. For me, that's enough to say it was a good movie, but not enough for me to say it was very good or great, and Reloaded definately pales in comparison to the original. Matrix.

I am a huge fan of the matrix films and looking forward to seeing Revolutions. I think the reason most people did not like Reloaded is that it was the middle of a trilogy, yes it was a bit talky, but the action sequences were awesome, top the original hands down. I actually saw it 3 times in the theatre, not to understand more of the movie, but because I loved it so much.
We all know the story will somehow end in the final film, the purpose of reloaded was to move the story along, meaning the sentinels and machines have found Zion, and are digging down there to destoy all of what is remaining of mankind. Neo is struggling with being the one and his love for trinity has grown stronger. The part with the architect made perfect sense, he was the man who came up with the design of the Matrix, which he mentions there have been 5 other versions, each version had heir own "one", but he gave them the choice to choose their own fate, we all know Neo doesn't believe in fate from the original movie, all the other "ones" chose a similiar fate which in that sense destroyed the other versions of the Matrices, but each time becoming more advanced and stronger In this version the acrhitect decides if he Neo's fate will be to save the people of Zion, or to save the love of his life in Trinity. It seems as if neo has deided to do both, hencehe saves trinity, and tries to sacrifice hmself at the end with the sentinels. Leaving him in a coma. Sorry for such a long description. But how hard is it to understand this movie?
I seriously doubt there is any connection between Agent Smith and Neo ala Star Wars mumbo jumbo. Especially since he is no longer an Agent . I believe we will find out the actual reason why Smith is still after Neo in the first place, hopefully we realized the person they found on the other ship was overtaken by Smith. All in all I believe that Revolutions will be a very satisfying conclusion to an already brilliant trilogy. The Matrix Trilogy will rank up there with Stars Wars Trilogy, (screw these lame ass prequels), Indiana Jones Trilogy, Godfather Trilogy, and the Back to the Future trilogy as one of the greatest trilogies of all time.

Hey yo. I got it, dont worry, I was just saying that round my way it appears to be a social requisite that you have to be as thick as pigshit to fit in. anyhow, for those that are interested, here is a link to some supposed spoilers...
http://www.xzaust.com/index.php?page=matrix
whether or not they are legit I cannot say, but theres a shitload of pics across a few pages...

Hey, Felty, I also ran across that site giving out "spoilers". I was wondering what you and all the other people who have seen the site, or will see the site in the future, think of the validity of it. I know that some spoiler pictures have been released, but he has quite a few of them. As for the plot, I question it, but it could be the real thing. Makes you wonder how he got the info, if it is the real deal. Someone leaked it i guess. Anyhow, I guess we won't know if it is the real until November 5th here in the U.S. Not sure when it opens up around the rest of the world. Well later for now. Keep on rockin and rollin!!
I think the "kid" he is talking about is the one who wants so bad to carry neo's shit at the begining of reloaded...thay never said his name in the movie. He was the "kid" in a kids story on the animatrix. Apparently he was the only one ever to will himself to stay alive long enough after he died in the matrix to wake up in the real world...this makes everyone think a little bit...
The advertisements for the enter the matrix game and the animatrix dvd pretty much said you'll only really understand everything if you play through the game and watch all of the animatrix cartoons (which were awesome)
I'm thinking maybe the people in revolutions will have robots on there side like they did in the matriculated one (very T3ish)...also i think the "kid" will play a bigger part in revolutions. I really hope the twins and persephone have bigger parts in it so as to make them not as worthless as they were in the 2nd movie.
I guess we'll see when the 3rd installment comes out this november...Matrix r00les j00

Sorry guys, i should have been bit more specific, the kid i'm referring to is the one who bugs Neo when they get back to Zion (for more history on the 'kid' get Animatrix) He keeps saying how Neo set him free and thats the same thing Agent Smith said when he handed over the ear piece... Thats the Darth Vader theory im refering to... it just doesnt make sense to have him (the kid) there unless he's the Jar Jar Binks of Matrix.. i guess we'll find out in Revolutions..

What the fuck are you talking about Monica Bellucci's character killing werewolves, did you see a totally different movie? Fuck it I'm gonna be gone for awhile after tonight anyway, so i am gonna go all out with this reply.
To all you clueless motherfuckers who were not satisfied with the ending of Reloaded, let me put to you in fine print. There is really no ending to the movie because it will be concluded in Revolutions. Plus about the Burly Brawl sequence how some dumb moherfuckers say why didn't he just fly away, you remember how Smith first tried to take over his body with that weird black stuff, do you maybe think it weakened him for a moment, and took away ome his powers including flying. About the Zion sequence which was only in the move to show what the city of Zion lookedlike in the first damn place. Suppossedly most of Revolutions will take place in Zion since Smith is already inside of the real world, so no need to fight inside the Matrix.
All in all i have figured out why so many idiots did not like Reloaded, because they were disappointed in the fight sequences as they did not "top" the orginal or they simply did not understand the movie. What a bunch of fucking morons, you wanna see a movie to understand why don't you stick to fucking Finding Nemo, fucking assholes?? I'm out of here, oh and i hate fucking Boston, go pahhk yah cahh in a fahhkin ditch, brainless bastards.
I think reloaded was fucking spectacular.
Some say what tha heck Monica B is doing there? Well she has a much more central role in Matrix Rev's....Heard she was a kind of a vampire that sucks emotions through kisses instead of blood out of veins....
And BTW: You remeber that dream Neo has about smith getting into Zion through a phone? Thing is that Smith acutally posesses the dude. (Saw it in one of the 5 Rev trailer)
And i dont think Smith is a choosen one, but rather a virus in the system...infecting all files (people plugged in the matrix) wich brings us to why Neo says to the mainframe (on the trailer) that they (the machines) have lost control over smith.
Think Revolutions is going to be great=)
