[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 1222341, member: 3570"] No, we're just two guys who happened to both pay attention to what was shown on screen. :cool: For me Reloaded was the weakest of the trilogy by far. I have NO interest in watching a God-like Neo engage in pointless fight he can't lose after pointless fight he can't lose. After I heard they were doing sequels to the first Matrix what I hoped to see was the Matrix Neo have an all out showdown with a super powerful "Anti-Neo" while the Zion Neo and the rest of the unplugged fought a real-world war of almost insurmountable odds. I got that with Revolutions. Its funny because I had assumed the Anti-Neo would have been another human who developed powers of The One to use for his own ends, but I really like the angle they took with giving Smith that role. The strikes against Revolutions are the weak first 25 minutes, the less than stellar epilogue, and characters that I just am simply not attached to on the level of Han, Luke, Leia, or the cast of the LOTR films. And I fault Reloaded for really initiating that detachment. Regardless, I found Revolutions to be a hell of a good time, and I got chills watching both the Zion fight and especially Neo's showdown with Smith. And I see real genius in how they set up the last chapter. The name of the series is "The Matrix" so you expect the finale to take place there, but how do you orchestrate that when its all virtual and really only the revelation of the real issue which is all the humans in the pods. But with Smith they gave a credible reason the Machines would be forced to adjust their actions in the real world based on the outcome of the showdown in the Matrix. Brilliant, and exquisitely played out. The bookend was weak, alas, but they delivered where it counted. [/QUOTE]
