er... can you give me some examples? cos i didnt notice that happening at all :Oo:

Well, it killed the power of the agents. They were nearly unstoppable in the first, and now Neo is just a God. No struggle at all for him to kick their ass. It just seemed like things were too easy, not much of a big conflict while inside the Matrix. Another was the whole Architect thing. The fact that it was all bogus to begin with dissappointed me. THat's at least what I thought.

I thougt Animatrix was better than all 3 MAtrix movies together....just my opinion :dennis: :Oo:

I just watched it Once , and its pretty cool if u understand the movie , Look first it was Neo The ONE in Matrix 1 , than the second part is about Agent Smith , thats no more a agent anymore , and become the opposite of Neo , but than the thirth it is , if u understand , the Orakel has said that Smith has become the negative Of Neo , and neo is the Positive , and than Neo has figured out at the fight , when Smith said everything that has a beginning has a end , a Positive isnt positive anymore if there is no Negative , so there is no Negative if There Is no Positive , so When Neo Died , Smith Dies Too , couse they are actually 1 (Orakel , Smith is Ur Opposite Sight - Evil Side - Negative , Somewerere in part 3) so Neo died , and Smith Figured out that He cant beat Neo , without killing Himself. :P this is more for the smart asses that understand the movie And the Effects are not as cool as 2 , but still its a :thumbup: movie and very Special , something else than other movies

The movie is really not that hard to understand at all, it does present some interesting concepts but most are not all that revolutionary. Anime has been using that same themes for years but the average westerner hasn't been exposed to the films. If you think about it the whole Matrix series is like a live action anime movie. ;)

Anyone seen it yet? ..I certainly have and i'd say it's 1 of the best visual movies i've ever seen.
Gonna buy the trilogy when it comes on DVD.

But I still think that the first matrix movie is the best one.

Although Revolutions was cool in visualities, the story wasn't such a big deal, the Wachowskis could have done much better.
Oh well, the first part is da best.

i agree.. all three movies are nice, but the last two never got close to the original

SPOILER WITHOUT WARNING

The Matrix Recycled could have been a good movie but they decided instead to focus on creating the most badass special effects ever. Is anyone else getting bored with CG? I mean there was a time (read: Jurassic Park) when good CG was hot and new but at this point in the game, you can do an entire movie in CG. A bunch of AI bots coming through a hole is as interesting to me as a particle system (since thats all it was.)

Special effects are only special if they make sense. A huge swarm of killer sentinels forming a twisting snake would be cool if it had ANY tactical advantage. In the years of studying humanity and its history, the machines must have skipped the 98% of our history consumed with war and its various strategies and tactics.

The fighting was about the only thing that managed to redeem the second movie and for this installment even that feels like they ran out of ideas. Trinity does the same flippy move and crane kick from the first movie and Neo predictably does the same taunt from the first movie.

What was with the love scenes!? If you count them there are at least five or six really boring emotional masturbation scenes not counting the three Neo and Trinity have!

How many times does the fleshy Agent Smith have to refer to Neo as "Mr. Anderson" before the moron figures out that it may just be the only person to ever consistently call him "Mr. Anderson" inside or outside of the matrix?

Why haven't the machines learned to EMP harden themselves? In fact, why doesn't Zion have stationary EMPs in the dock?

Why does "infantry" in Zion equate to two women with rockets and how exactly does a little homemade rocket stop something that just bored through 10 miles of bedrock?

It is obvious now they (Wachowski Bros) had no idea where they were going after the first movie and just tried to write something because the $$ was right.

The saddest part is that the movie ends with the actors asking the same question I was "Is it over?"

Thats was one of the best reviews of any kind that I've read in along time. Nice writing. :thumbup:
