[QUOTE="milotha, post: 1501079, member: 17122"] Hadn't we really established this in the second film. How did any of this really come into play in the third movie? It was really just filler. Yeah, there were lots of cool places they could have taken it. But really it didn't further the overall plot of movie three at all. It's like the whole second and third movies. A bunch of great ideas that weren't woven together into a cohesive story- bad writing. I contend that the first movie was a great stand alone. It didn't need the sequels, and was in fact hurt by them. Once again, wasn't this established in the second movie? Did I need another contrived fight scene. It was so over the top and had about as much dramatic tension as a bad soap opera. Yeah, the CGI was great. Yeah, the audience liked Agent Smith. The fight scene between Smith and Neo in the first movie had tension because no one had stood up to an agent. The third movie was just more of the same. Let's use some hackneyed excuse as to why Neo can use his powers again on Smith. I disagree. We could have shown Morpheus's growth as a character. In the second movie he battled an agent, which he said was impossible in the first. Why could Morpheus have been driving the ship? Why couldn't he have helped lead the defense of Zion? Why did we need so many extraneuous chracters introduced. I think people were more emotionally attached to the characters from the first movie, than any of the characters introduced in the second or third movies. NO, not every character's death has to have a purpose. But I think the story would have been even better if Neo had had to choose between saving humanity and his love of Trinity. The reverse of the second movie. As it was, I just didn't care who won. I wanted the movie to end. The brothers destroyed all emotional attachement I had to the characters and their plight. This was not conveyed at all in the thrid film. How were the humans in the matrix given a choice? Couldn't they have negotiated a rebuilding of the human cities with the machines, if Neo had "taken over the matrix"? Couldn't there have been some ending that made the whole Neo story have a purpose, or some point. Nope. Just ruined the ending of the first movie. [/QUOTE]
