FIRST: I liked the movie A LOT, it may grow on me or wear on me, only time will tell (1st matrix got better and better as I watched it for the umteenth time)....now for my comments.....
I think the movie had so many amazingly great parts....somewhat squelched by a few very off beat, ponderous and downright wasteful filler of some other scenes. I would say that the editor could have cut a good 20 minutes from the film, as some scenes just seemed to plod along, and what should be a 20 second quip or MAYBE a 1 minute exposition was turned into a 5 minute diatribe full of useless (that means boring) information and characterization that could have been just as well served in a much shorter time.....then put that crap in the DVD where geeks like me can enjoy it if we are in the mood.
I also think the movie sufferes somewhat from its too numerous attempts to be philosophical, and deep in its dialog:
THIS IS A LINE IN THE RELOADED VEIN:
" I find my body parched, lacking in that which all life needs to survive, the very essence of my existance is crying out for it, I must soon relinquish my hessitation and give in to that which has already become apparent. Perhaps you too would benifit from a respit from the drain on the life giving liquid that even now escapes from your every pore, crying out as if to say to the world, you may use me, but you cannot own me."
A LINE AS IT COULD BE WRITTEN:
" Hey Trinity, Im thirsty as a Zionese sand hampster....wana catch a drink with me?"
Still....I liked it, and the fight/chase scenes are just to cool to describe.
