Yeah, why run away when he knows he can kicks Smith-butt?  His first fight with Smith (in Matrix 1), he was spitting up blood all over the place (in the Matrix and the "real" world).  After this flight (and flying to the Oracle's place) he logged out and was fine, just a bit winded.  No problemo.2. He can fly, sure but can't teleport.  At least not yet.  Remember when Supes, Zod, and the evil chick in Superman 2 moved ultra fast at the Fortress of Solitude?  Very cool.  Anyway, evidence seems to be that if he prepares for a second or two (and causes some neat wave motion), he can fly very fast.  If he can't prepare (in the hallway of Doors and at the Merovingian's place), he's not quite as fast.3. I hope that if the "real" world is another level of the Matrix, that the REAL real world is nicer than the Black Sky world, like with green grass, butterflies, etc.  So if they have a happy ending (big if), Neo and Trinity can live happily ever after.  Aw.4. Hey, no reason for the REAL real world to be a world, either.  Maybe it's a big generation ship or something on the way to Epsilon Eridani and the AI got out of control.  Metamorphosis Alpha.5. I personally don't really like the idea of matrix-within-matrix, though.  Sure, striving to pierce the final illusion is fun, but it feels to me like it renders the first movie completely irrelevant.6. In a similar vein to 5, if lies are possible then _anything_ can be a lie.  For example, if anything the Oracle said is declared to be a lie then anything the Architect said can potentially be a lie.  Also, if the Oracle lied, then will Trinity start doubting her love for Neo.  I guess I just like absolutes in movies.  Or maybe there have been no lies, just ambiguous interpretations.7. It should be against the law for babies to be allowed in R-rated movies.  Note: Thanks for taking the baby out of the theatre when it started to cry and not just letting it go on and on, but, you see, the _instant_ it started crying, it brought me out of the movie.  Totally disrupted everything.  Grr.  And then bringing it back inside so it can start crying again so you can take it outside to calm it down for a bit so you can take it back inside so it can cry again...  Double grr.8. I'm liking that idea that Neo can plug into the Matrix hands-free now.9. Just because folks (like Trinity, not like Neo) can bend some of the rules doesn't mean they can bend all the rules.  And not everyone can bend the same set of rules or to the same degree as others.  Obvious, yeah, but sparked from another thread.10. Some people think a movie should stand on its own merits.  That you shouldn't have to wait for a third movie before judging the second movie harshly.  I guess I agree, but I am definitely looking forward to some explanations in November.Take care,Dreeble</blockquote>
