terryclothYou know, the one that'll explain everything the second one confused, and give a satisfying resolution to the seemingly intractable problems set up to test the heroes?
Not the mess that's in the theaters *now*.
It was so STOOOPID! It didn't answer anything. The first few scenes gave me hope... they made me cringe at the horribly dialogue, but it gave me hope. That hope was quickly dashed, as it all came to nothing but a fight scene. It was like they had the outline of the beginning of a decent script, then said 'I don't have time for this', and drowned the rest in a feeding frenzy of blood.
At least most of the fight scenes were in the neat-looking machine world, I guess. That's something.
What in god's sweet name was up with the whole 'trainman' subplot? It had no reason to actually exist, and came to NOTHING. Someone pointed out that it might have been there to give Trinity one last chance to be cool before her pointless death.
It *could* have been the start of something sweet. What's this? A secret route INTO THE MACHINE CITY'S NETWORK? Gee, you think that might help a SUPER-POWERFUL NETWORK HACKER MESSIAH? Apparently Neo didn't think so, as he left right away to fly there physically.
Wow, you know, if he HAD gone that way, then maybe he'd have found the Source that everyone kept talking about right up until Trinity said 'I don't have time for this' and we switched to Movie B which was a mindless B movie.
"I wish we had an EMP." "That'd destroy all our defenses!" "We already lost all our defenses." "Yay! We have an EMP!" "Damn it! It destroyed all our defenses!"
Why was the big heavy blast door into Zion made out of styrofoam?
Why did the attacking Sentinels have the approximate IQ and battle strategy of galaga enemies? And what happened to their lasers? Why couldn't a swarm of 20 million of them kill a single ship, when before three of them were enough? Again, where were their lasers?
LASERS LASERS LASERS where were the lasers, for the love of LASERS!!!!!
Oh look, the cloud cover that's been foiling the machines is only about 500 feet up. It's a good thing they never thought of building towers with solar panels on them, or maybe dirigibles.
"You can't die!" "Yes I can." "But -- why? You've got a stomach wound. That shouldn't be instantly fatal." "I'm dead. Go away."
Hmm, we agreed to a peace treaty so that Neo would kill Smith for us. Smith is dead. Neo is dead. No one else knows we even HAD a deal. I guess we have no choice but to give up the invasion and retreat. Oh, and we'll free anyone who wants to leave too, just for kicks.
And finally, if Neo's big purpose in life was to LOSE a fight with Smith, it seems like the whole 'you are the one' thing was a little overblown. I mean, hell, I could lose a fight to Smith. And a lot faster than Neo managed, too.
