Well, what did everyone think?
I thought it was good, but I need to see it again. When the Oracle and the other guy (trying not to spoil it) were talking, it was taking 2 seconds to process every 1 second of speech. the stuff they said was amazing. The special effects rocked I thought. I'll give my full spiel once most of you have seen it. |

I saw The Passion of the Christ today and realized about halfway through that Monica Belluci was playing Mary Magdelene. I thought she did a great job.

I heard that they're two parts of the same person. But that theory's just something a fan came up with, but it makes sense because they talk as if they're one, "we are getting annoyed" or something like that.
It's ashame they died though, they were incredibly awesome. |

Not sure about this, but most TS mpgs are split in two parts. You might find a divx copy somewhere that's one piece, however, but I doubt it. Those usually take longer to come out.
You can get programs that will join the two parts, too. |

saw this movie tonight finaly, thought it was a great addition to the first. Lots of great twists and thought provoking dialogue.
i think the most ironic thing, (though not necesarily entierly true) is that 'the prophecy' might have been originaly created by the machines. Or maybe it is true, because there were always humans spared from the past matrix's to create the next Zion's. So perhaps the story has survived the test of time.
I dont want to speculate to much about things on this movie, untill i get to see revolutions, then we can work it all out, but i loved the movie, even though i thought the car chase sceen went on a bit long.
But, whats weird is, to me, action scenes dont really mean anything, im not wowed by a guy fighting 100 other guys (who are all actualy one guy). i should be, perhaps technology has gotten so good, and i have gotten so used to seeing great special effects, that they are no longer special. anyone else feel this way?
I love movies that make u think, rather then just go 'oooo, pretty colors'. |

I thought that was silly. I think they even tried to sneak some boob shots in there (there being the dance scene), which I don't tend to mind, but in that scene it was just silly/revolting. And a place like Neo and Trinity got it on just didn't fit with the movie. Everything else was dark and metallic, but that dance and their tryst room was orange and warm looking... not fitting.
Now... if Trinity had hopped up on Neo while he was in the matrix via his bioport... well... hehe... I might not have disagreed with that.  |

Once again the IMDB is the font of all knowledge... the Seraph was the "back door" guy protecting the Oracle.
Seraph: The Oracle has many enemies, I had to be sure.
Neo: Of what?
Seraph: That you were The One.
Neo: You could've just asked.

Both of those items are covered in excruciating detail in the "more than you ever wanted to know" link. Grab a bag of popcorn, pull up a comfy chair, and read the whole thing if you've got time. It's quite interesting.
I'm still having issues with the ghost/vampire/seraph thing though.
According to most of the websites I found, you can't kill a vampire with a silver bullet. In fact, one website said the following:
SPECIES - COUNTRY - APPROVED METHOD OF DISPOSAL
Sampiro - Albania - Stake through heart
Nachtzehrer - Bavaria - Place coin in mouth, decapitate with ax
Ogoljen - Bohemia - Bury at crossroads
Krvoijac - Bulgaria - Chain to grave with wild roses
Kathakano - Crete - Boil head in vinegar
Brukalaco - Greece - Cut off and burn head
Vampir - Hungary - Stake through heart, nail through temples
Dearg-dul - Ireland - Pile stones on grave
Vryolakas - Macedonia - Pour boiling oil on, drive nail through navel
Upier - Poland - Bury face downwards
Gierach - Prussia - Put poppy seeds in grave
Strigoiul - Rumania - Remove heart, cut in two; garlic in mouth, nail in head
Vlkoslak - Serbia - Cut off toes, drive nail through neck
Neuntoter - Saxony - Lemon in mouth
Vampiro - Spain - No known remedy
Who was the seraph with the golden code? Was I sleeping through that part? |

Okay, I don't
know if these were talked about in the links posted, but anyways...
I agree with the whole Zion is another matrix designed to control the 1% of the people who won't accept the original matrix. And another little bit of proof is at the end when Neo holds up his hand and stops the robots from killing himself and the others.

The Oracle talks about aliens and angels as other errant programs: "Every time you've heard someone say they saw a ghost, or an angel—every story you've ever heard about vampires, or werewolves or aliens—is the system assimilating some program that's doing something they're not supposed to be doing." Besides the vampire twins, we do get to see two werewolves, and one angel—namely the Seraph, although he looks like a regular guy (except for the golden Matrix code). We do not see any ghosts or aliens. As it happens, I was rather pleased with this part of the Oracle's speech, as I put forward a theory in a book in 1999 (Paranormal Phenomena and Berkeley's Metaphysics) that real-life angels and aliens are in fact autonomous modules within a real-life Berkeleyian matrix

Hey everybody I've been reading this site's boards for a long time but this is my first time actually posting... AND I gotta question! Has anyone played Enter the Matrix for gamecube? I rented it and it's got really awesome gameplay, nice graphics too (not the best, but nice) Anyway to my point.... there is a scene in the game where, in order to save her friend, Niobe is forced to kiss Persephone just like Neo did in the movie. Any more ideas on Persephone's purpose now? I really need to see Reloaded again, the scenes w/ the Merovingian and the Architect went completely over my head. |

Teri, I may be WAAAAAYY off, but I think the Agents are rouge now... there was an explanation somewhere in the movie that they are no longer needed, but they are now a program that knows it is on the way out, and the reason they have found a way to multiply is a way of fighting off their doom and staying alive. Like I said, I might be totally wrong, but I think the Agents only work for themselves now. |

I saw it again on Friday and am confused anew:
During the chase/fight scene on the semi trailer, the agent says something like "nothing matters except the exile." If the agents ultimately work for the Architect, and the Architect wants Neo to find him, then he should want the Key Maker to help Neo. In which case, the words of the agent made no sense to me.
Can anyone help me oot?

He also knows the value of the keymaker, and that's why he keeps him locked up. Also, the Merovingian dynasty was the first kingdom of France to emerge from the ruins of the Roman empire, led by Clovis I. Unlike most ruling families in Europe, though, it's not named after it's founding member. Equate the Roman empire with the first-layer Matrix and Zion with the second-layer Matrix that The One is responsible for creating.
That's what leads me to believe that the Merovingian is the first "The One" |

Please expand on that thought. I was very confused throughout that whole conversation, and all I got out of it was that since it was the 6th version of the Matrix, leading up to that 6th, Neo failed 5 times because of love right, and Zion was built over and over again in a cycle? I'm confused....but plan to see it again eventually to get a better grasp on the ending.
I thought what HTG meant was that Neo was a program like the Oracle and the key maker. I don't understand Zion being a second matrix, but maybe he'll expand on that soon.
Regarding the "built over and over" thing: I understood the Architect to say that he's on Matrix v.5. The Neo "bug" has not yet been worked out, but with each successive version, he's getting closer to eliminating the bug.
I could be totally wrong |

I thought that the movie was good, I didn't feel like I wasted money or time, but I could have gone for more story line and less fight scenes. Well, let me take that back, the fight scenes were amazing, and I liked all of them, I think they could have been shorter though. Who the guy was at the end (not Neo, just trying not to spoil it. Do you think they will just expand on that in the next one?When Neo was talking to the gray beard guy, what did he tell him. Again, I don't want to spoil this for anybody, I caught bits and pieces of the conversation but because they were saying so much so fast and I think I missed a couple of things that he told Neo. Any inlightment would be great. Also, I thought the new remix of When the World Ends is way different, I would like to hear it again before I say I like it or not.... |

Please expand on that thought. I was very confused throughout that whole conversation, and all I got out of it was that since it was the 6th version of the Matrix, leading up to that 6th, Neo failed 5 times because of love right, and Zion was built over and over again in a cycle? I'm confused....but plan to see it again eventually to get a better grasp on the ending. |

**SPOILERS**
I liked this movie a lot. However, I watch stuff like this purely for entertainment value, and I was entertained. I didn't stretch to grasp what all they threw at me about the Matrix and all that, I just enjoyed the movie. There were some things I didn't get, and somethings I wondered about (why was it called "reloaded" when in fact, it wasn't reloaded.) (why can Neo fly/not get hurt/take bullets out but he can't just seriously mess people up at any point...ie make their head explode just because he want's to, esp in fights)
Anyone notice:
-When Neo's talking to the Architect, the A says "grotesque" (or maybe "gruesome") and George W. pops onto the screens behind him. I thought that was funny.
-On the interstate, both good guy and bad guy drove Cadillacs, and other cars getting destroyed/used were GM products, but not Cadillacs (until the last part of the interstate). No Fords were harmed in the making of this scene (that I remember).

*MINOR SPOILERS*
Saw it again...wasn't any happier
I wish they would have made this movie 3 hours long. It seemed like it was rushed. I got a chance to hear more from the Oracle and the Architect. I mean, I got to pay closer attention. This movie just could have been done better. Then again, the original matrix, although always conceived as a trilogy, was done as a stand-alone film, I can understand why the second step had to be so lame. The Wachoski brothers had better have made this a stepping stone to Revolutions or I'm gonna be really pissed. Since I imagine almost all who reads this had seen it, this is my epiphany I had after the movie that made it interesting. Zion is a second Matrix and Neo is a program. I'll expand on it more when I'm not so drunk and tired. |

On the whole I thought it was good. Some of the fight scenes lasted longer than I thought possible, but they were well done so it was okay. I will say it could easily have been 10 minutes shorter. Didn't need the whole Zion dance-orgy sequence. Although maybe the boys liked it...
I found out today that if I had stayed through the credits I would have seen the Matrix: Revolution preview. Oops. Gotta see it again. But I know exactly when to go get popcorn. (see orgy reference above) |

without going into details and spoiling it... I'll say that out of 10... I give the movie as a whole a 7 and the action a 9.5 |
