  • Saw The Matrix 2...very good movie but I was very disapointed in one scene...

  • Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>When Neo fights all those copies of Smith, the scene was waaaaay too computer-generated, or at least noticeably computer-generated. There were at least 20 times during the fight where Neo's face looked all lame and fake and you could tell it was done with a computer. I don't mind computer graphics but not when they're so obvious that it kills the scene. I loved every other fight scene because I never noticed if/when they added to it with a computer but that scene was too much. There were times when it didn't even look like Keanu Reeves at all. I didn't notice it in the previews cuz it was so fast and the screen was much smaller, but on a large movie screen it is obvious.

Other than that, very good movie. Very interesting. Took me a minute or so to let it sink in about what was going on. I need to see it again to make sure I have all the details but if anyone wants to do an explanation to make sure I didn't miss anything, feel free. :)</div>

I guess my mind got used to the idea, because the second time I saw that scene, I thought it totally fucking kicked ass. Duuuude, some of the shit Neo pulls off...damn. He just fuucking lost it....</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I got this off of some movie message board. It is kinda cool if it really has meaning.

The floor that Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus get off on at the French guy's restaurant is 101. That is also the apartment number Neo used to live in. 101 in binary 00000101 = 5 in decimal. Maybe this refers to the 5 Matrix iterations before this one and the 5 "the Ones" before.</div>
