It was good to see a "deeper" story in the action film, and I infact liked the storyline, dialogs didnt bothered me a bit, and Matrix mythology is an iteresting one. If only the action matched fun and intensity of the original, it could have been much better film.
Still, there is Hope for Revolutions.
don't get your hopes too high for revolutions. it'll probably be more of the same since it was filmed back to back with reloaded.
here's hoping that after all the directors see how disappointed people were they will change it to make it a more fun and enjoyable film.
if not, say goodbye to any other matrix films that may have been made in the future.
The complaints are not about the substance of the narrative as much as it is the way it is presented.Quote:

What better way to change something than from the inside? They enter the matrix in order to free more minds, which is something that can only be done from within the system, because we all know what happens when some one is unplugged in the real world. Freeing minds is the main goal which drives everything they do. They fight agents and over come other obstacles because they are getting the way of accomplishing this goal.Quote:

I've never really thought about this before, and I might have missed them talk about this in one of the movies, but why are they even fighting inside the Matrix? It doesn't seem like they're accomplishing much inside there (agents seem to be, for all intensive purposes, pretty damn indestrucable) and doesn't the only battle that really matters have to take place in the "real world" anyway? A quest to find the Architect? Maybe, but even that didn't really do anything.
They barely have enough ships as it is, all those people you saw in that room discussing the machines digging towards zion were all the captins in the fleet. This is hardly what I would call a powerful armada. They would be crushed like a bug if they were to attack the machines head on.Quote:
Wouldn't busting outta Zion and killing all the Sentinels (as impossible as that seems right now) free them?
Because you saw what kind of negative effect doing this had on Agent Smith. Doing it again would be a very foolish thing to do.Quote:
And why didn't Neo pull his old "dive inside Smith and blow him up from the inside" trick in this one? :p
Whoah the lady who played the Oracle died - that I didnt know ...Quote:

Fah we probably dont need to see her again anyway as most of the next movie will be outside of the Matrix...er..non Zion Matrix
:wtf: or whatever....
Wasnt Aaliyah supposed to have been in this movie? I know she died but I heard she had already filmed a couple of scenes? If so I wonder if she was playing the Jada Smith/Nirobi part to begin with or someone different?
According to IMDB:
As for the oracle, she'll be around, check out Enter the Matrix the game for some insights into that.Quote:
Actress/Singer Aaliyah was originally cast in the role of Zee but was killed in a plane crash on 25 August 2001.
You're right about that, but there's just as many people out there who like bash it cuz they didn't "understand" much of the philosophy talk.Quote:

That makes sense. I overlooked that fact. :oQuote:

I know. That's why I said it seems pretty impossible. :p They're certainly gonna have to pull something out of their asses in the third movie to overcome this, though.Quote:

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly trinity's master plan was.
Okay, if I jump out this window, and shoot thing guy falling down, I'll die when I hit the ground but he'll probably shoot me anyways...
Pretty weak plot device, sans clark kent of course.
In case anyone is wondering what happened to Tank...this may be it.
