I'll be back to vote for this pole.

Just seen Reloaded, but I need to see it a couple times more to be able to choose

ya, I was told by many people that seeing the movie once isn't enough.

i have not seen the new one yet but from what i heard its not all that great

me and my boyfriend saw matrix reloaded the night it came out...we were really excited to see it. i have to say it was really good but i still think the the first matrix was better. some of the scenes were insane especially the highway scene- but for some reason they just didn't get me the way they did in the first one. i wasn't disappointed by the movie at all i just expected it to blow me away like the first one but it fell alittle short...but what can i say...the original matrix was a hard movie to top, but i'd have to say if i didn't already see the original matrix then reloaded would have blown me away...like hardtymes said above "you just can't beat the best!"

Yeah I feel the same way, I mean it's like Rage Against The Machine's first album - fucking brilliant, but how are you ever going to even match that?

As for the movie itself, my roomate and I both think it's more of a set-up for Matrix Revolutions instead of a movie in itself. I mean sure, some things made it unique (the architect scene, the meaning of the Rave/sex scene, etc...), but as a whole I don't think it really stands by itself. It's more of a first half to Matrix Revolutions.


***possible spoilers ahead***











Oh and here's what we think about the rave/sex scene - Trinity is actually the mother of the matrix, and being this goddess-like figure, whatever she feels filters out to the masses (same thing with Neo - whatever he feels the people around him feel as well). So when she's with Neo, the people get all horny and the music is already playing, so they just get up on each other without having an all-out orgy.

Ohh and there's a few more parts that support our argument of Trinity being the mother of the matrix, the only one of which I can remember atm is in a trailer for Revolutions (I think it was for revolutions, it might have been reloaded, not sure...if you go back and see the trailer for reloaded after watching the movie you'll see like 2 or three scenes taken from revolutions as they weren't in the original or reloaded). Anyways....look at the trailer and in it Trinity says something to the effect of "If you don't give me Neo now we all die, right here, right now." Not sure on the actual wording but you get the gist. You have to wonder what kind of power she has if she can make everyone die whenever she feels like it.

Ohh and I think that Trinity is a reference to Kahlan from the Sword of Truth series, but that's another story.

Interesting, but I think your off.

***Spoiler Ahead***


The archetict is actually the mother of the matrix. Cause he is the one who has created all 6 different versions as he stated in the movie. Trinity is a human who is free from the matrix, but she has no actual ties to the matrix. The whole point about the matrix is that its a digital world. Humans have been sedated and kept under the power of the matrix. because the digital world is so real, we as humans cant distinguish it. The archetict is the one who built the matrix. This is because the matrix cannot build itself spontaneously, it needs a human host to create. However, all 6 versions of the matrix have and anomoly, which is in the form of neo. When humans are sleeping they are very vunrable, and because of this we can't fight anything, and this is the only way the matrix can keep control on us. Like they said in the movie, its all really about control. It was also mentioned that the other versions of the matrix(being it is a program) failed because they were far too glitchy. I could tell you the whole thing about the matrix, so if ya want send me a pm and i will. I hope this clears up some things.

I agree with u . I think Revolutions will have the power to be more exciting and epic than the first Matrix .. Matrix 2 is a "transition" movie.. No doubt, I will still enjoy it when I'll watch it .

new ones not out here yet....
