Not out here yet, though I want to see it, it's bugging me as to why Agent Smith is Neo's main adversary and not the Matrix itself (which
seems to have taken a sidestep for the whole Neo/Smith thing).

Okay, why didn't "the matrix" just make peace to begin with after they enslaved humanity.... okay I get it.
The thing that infuriates me is they still didn't explain why Neo's had powers in the "real world" or am I missing
something.

A lot of things were left unexplained.... maybe that was an objective, that way people would discuss it, or
spend time thinking about it, or perhaps everything was explained and I didn't catch it. The third movie wasnt bad... but I'd still say
that the first movie was the best out of the 3.

i had heard that it was soooo bad... it wasn't that bad. I just wasn't captivating.
the matrix people had said that the trilogy had been writen as one and that the second and third movie was not going to be a sequal but rather the
next part of the story. Well i must say that the second and third movie was most definitly a sequal because it was writen differently and did not
share many of the same attributes that made me love the first.
all i all... it was nothing special.

pardon the pun but I agree, it just simply wasn't revolutionary... now the car chase in reloaded, that was revolutionary

I was just wondering if anyone else saw a remarkable resemblance between the final Neo/Smith fight and Dragon Ball Z, right down to the pile drive
from the sky. I was actually waiting for them to stop and start powering up. Looked cool though.

More like the Goku verses Freeza, or the Gohan verses Cell fights. When Goku and Vegeta fought it was earlier and they didn't really do the
whole shockwaves in the air thing, well there was also the Majin thing but meh, too short a fight (only spanned like a week as opposed to the entire
series that most other fights were dragged out to, trust Dragon Ball Z to manage to literally make the last 5 minutes on Namek span 10 episodes).

Getting back on the topic of the movie, probably my favourite bit was when a certain character died, although at the time I was expecting some long
arse speech involving constant use of the phrase "I love you" to awaken them. But it never happened, WOOHOO!
A couple of qualms I had with the film though, was there wasn't enough Persephone, she made the 2nd film worth rewatching. Also I really would
have liked more input on Neo's abilities, like why he has them. I was also expecting the dude from the restaurant to play a more important role,
since Reloaded made him out to be something really special.
Oh well, it was a good action movie, but to me, that's all it was.

about the movie, i though it was ok. as dez said "I....didn't love it.. I liked it..but it didn't blow me away......." i feel
the same way. i liked the whole train thing. I thought the first oracle was much better than the one in this one. A moment of silence...
anyway, i thought that they should have been in the matrix for more time. i thought the ending was good. Did anyone else notice that the guy in the
real world was agent smith way before he revealed it. i figured it out the first time he spoke (due to the vocal mixes)

In all I was disappointed with this one... slightly.
First off, there needed to be more than one Matrix film - they went through all the hassle in the original to find 'The One,' but for
what? The creation of a trilogy is perfect for the nature of the story.
I agree more focus should have been put on Neo and his abilities, the story kind of ran away with itself as it stood.
However, the action was top-notch and really inpressive, and the *brief* fight sequence with Neo and Smith in the apartment block at the end of
Revolutions was beatifully choreographed and shot, a saving grace of the film.
