MORE SPOILERS...
"You know the Frenchman? Remember how he was such a badass in the second movie with like wraiths and werewolves working for him? How did he get taken down by two human and a computer program?"The Frenchman was in this movie? Are you sure? I remember staring down in the lower-right side of the screen for a few minutes and I thought I might have heard him at that time, but I was thinking of something else at the moment and couldn't be bothered with the rest of the screen.
"Did anybody wonder where the other side of that train connected to? I mean, one was the matrix... was the other a place where errant programs get bodies and become humans?"Didn't think about that. I doubt errant programs would want to leave the matrix...at least not out into the real world.
"Did anybody wonder why the defense of zion wasn't made with emp mines instead of auto cannons? Seems to me that a mix of the two would have worked MUCH better."No. If they built a smart defense, the writers would have had to trouble themselves to come up with a smarter way for the machines to break Zion's defenses. They were too busy smoking crack and watching reruns of the Emeril Legasse show to be bothered with that.
"In a world where computer programming is the link that dominated everything, why can't humans come up with an electronic fire control system for the cannons on their ships?"Maybe they have an inherent distrust of computer technology. Maybe they're stupid. Maybe the movie sucked...just maybe.
"Why didn't the machines find a way to send those huge bellybutton city killers after zion? I mean, what are all those weapons for?"Why would they need to? They had enough to beat the defenses that the writers wrote in for Zion. Remember, more machines means more writing means less time hitting the pipe.
"There were really only two characters in all of zion that we even remotely cared about (I wouldn't have given it another thought had everyone else in the city died... especially after that dance scene in the second movie). Was it silly, or vindicating that they just happened to be the ones that saved it?"You cared about any of the idiots in Zion? I hoped for the wifey to die...and found it incredibly amusing that the machines were not able to squash her like a bug when they tried. As for the kid, I think he was transported in time out of a 1950s war movie, replete with his dialogue. I was hoping he would die an especially slow death. "the machines don't care what age I am sir..." Oh man!
"Did trinity take WAY too long to die?""Neo I love you. I didn't tell you I loved you last time I died. I want to tell you I love you this time. Did I ever tell you about the time I saw tank jerking off in the simulator? It was pretty disturbing. I don't think you'll be able to save me this time. Like you did last time. I love you. The other day I ran into Morpheus and he seemed preoccupied. I didn't ask him about what, but I'm sorry I won't be able to find that out now. Oh, I have some big spikes sticking through me. And, uh, I love you Neo.
" On a funny note, there was a group of die hard Matrix nerds directly in front of us all dressied up for the occasion. One of the guys sitting in the row directly in front of us was actually weeping when she got killed. I poop you not. I thought I must have been imagining it until I confirmed it with my friends after the movie.
"Did anybody look at the fight between neo and smith and think of REALLY bad anime?"
By this time in the movie I was crying for the $8.75 admission that I would never be seeing again. Even through my tears it looked like crap. Althought I found the knuckle prints to be quite amusing.
"How about that part at the end when smith is about to win and he decided to talk about it instead of just killing neo. Wasn't that a little too cliche?"
Apparently he's never heard of internal dialogue. One minute he's good ole smug Agent Smith, the next he's a quivering tard. He should have just assimilated him without the *****-footing around.
"What the hell happened to all the philosophy and mythology? Why was the reason that the matrix so good get so surgically taken out?"
Neo is Jesus. He is the second coming. I think he died for the machines' sins this time though, they're more deserving than anyone in Zion. And on that note, I'd say it was nice of the machines to ignore logic and not kill the rest of the tardlings in Zion after Neo helped them with their Agent Smith problem. I'm just trying to figure out what comes next. The sequels or the prequil. Like the dip**** that I am, though, I'm sure I'll watch them.
PS...the rainbow was fantabulous!
