The Matrix Reloaded (possibly spoiler in time...)

Great, now they are warning not to hack after seeing The Matrix

"...Computing enthusiasts tempted to emulate the hacking scene in box office smash The Matrix: Reloaded will face tough legal penalties including jail, industry experts have warned..."

I guess that's why they give out phone numbers starting with the prefix 555, and type in improper e-mail addresses (Job 3:14) in a lot of movies. Everyone knows you learn from movies.

Damn, I want my $5500 back from MCSE school. I could see a lot of movies with that!

I've been thinking a bit about the Oracle scene... A lot of emphasis was placed on her offering Neo the candy, and my mind kind of went along this tangent:

In the first movie, the most popular symbol was, of course, the pill. The pill that Neo chose determine which path he would take, either leaving the matrix or staying inside. The pill was used metaphorically for truth, often bitter and difficult to take.

In the second movie, the introduction of candy was rather telling. Unlike a pill, the candy is rather soothing and pleasing to the senses, much like the Oracle herself. Her role appears to be less fortune telling, less guidance, and more of saying what Neo wants or needs to hear. This would also lend well to the idea that she was created to help the matrix be more acceptable to the human mind. Even though the dialog with the architect about the 'mother' of the matrix was quite vague and leaves the actual embodiment open to suggestion, the candy seen seems to reinforce the idea that the 'Oracle' (as she he been referred to because of Morpheus) is indeed that person.

Yeah, it sucked donkey balls like BTTF2. Plan 9 from outerspace was more balanced and watchable than MR. And how fucking dare they not let neo say woah.

I piss on the waxofski brothers for producing 2 hours of mindless drivel to set up the final movie.

Fuck Jay and Silent Bob. Fuck them up their stupid asses......

If you didn't like the movie just say you didnt. But dont cuss it out. Alot of us liked it. See it again and maybe you will understand it.

I loved the fight with the Oracle's guard. I could have watched that for an hour. The fight with all the agents, the party scene, and a few other scenes dragged on and on and served no purpose except to lengthen the movie time.

What really sucks is that NOW I find out there was another 8 1/2 minutes of movie AFTER the credits rolled and I missed that!

[converge]

Yeah, I totally missed that one too. My friend and I were busy in a race to the bathrooms...

Its the trailer for Revolutions. But its not even close to 8 1/2 minutes. Where did u get that number. The trailer is no more that 2 minutes max. I thought most people knew about that. The credits drag. So ull be siting there for a bit.

[astcell]

Maybe it is 8.5 minutes including the credits. :D

[converge]

Ahhh ok.. I haven't missed anything if it was just the trailer then

[euro12]

Not even just the trailer, but a really lame trailer that didn't tell you anything.

After standing in line for hours, then watching the movie until 2:30am, then staying for the long credits just to see that teaser-free trailer, I was pretty disappointed.

disappointed in the teaser, movie or just all together?? I thought the teaser was just enough to get me pondering on how this story will end. I think it will be far from cliche. And for every one that didn't like the clif hanger was it b/c u thought this was the final sequel,? or did not know that Revolutions was coming out six months from now? I agree it was a tv style to be concluded and makes me wonder how the intro to revolutions will be. If the brothers would have had it their way they would have released Revoultions a week after Reloaded. As far as i know 6 months was the earliest Revolutions was allowed to be set to open at box offices. Keep in mind its only half a movie. I rather have two 2 hour films than a 3 hour film w/ some of the sory cut down.And i think thats why the brothers choose 2 movies. That may be the anwer to why some of the scenes draged on.
