I watched Reloaded again. The beginning seemed more coherent this time.

But, Morpheus' speech still felt akward. Did anyone else think that?
And did anyone else catch the Superman references? The only reason I think they're actual references is because Link makes the explicit reference, "He's doing the Superman thing again." After Neo fights the three agents in the beginning, when he gets up to the clouds and he turns around, he does a very Superman-looking pose. Or maybe more of a Flash pose, actually. Anyway, classic comic book superhero look. And after coming through the door to save Trinity, with the fire behind him, Neo does the classic Chrisopher Reeve move with one fist at his chest and the other extended in front of him. Considering that the Wackowski brothers were inspired by comic books, I think these are actual references (or homages, I suppose).</div>
