I am glad you were able to collect your thoughts that well and post them. I had the exact same points in mind, but you were able to put them on "paper",so to speak, quicker than I could
Bryant, Response to your post : 1) When has the acting in ANY Matrix film been noteworthy? "Whoa", "I Know Kung Fu" etc etc; certainly not dialogue worthy of accolades is it? I just find it dismissive to assume that the dialogue for M2 and M3 would be any different than M1. The acting can...
I don't think a reload would have removed Smith, just like rebooting your PC wouldn't remove a virus. The architect knew Neo would go back into the Matrix, but could not lead on that he also needed him to go back. Reverse psychology at its best? BUT what the Oracle says may negate the above...
Having given some thought to what I posted about Smith lacking Purpose being the reason he is ultimately defeated; I think I have to change my tune. In Reloaded, he has no purpose, this he alluded to himself. When he first attempts to copy himself into Neo in Reloaded he says "We're here to take...
Why then wouldn't DEM simply use any human jacked in to rid the Matrix of Smith. Hopefully one of us is right, if its merely for the presence of the final 20 minutes, thats a pretty big gaping plothole
Heres my off-the-wall take on why Smith could not be destroyed until he had taken over Neo, it has to do with "purpose". Smith's purpose was dynamic throughout the films, in M1 his purpose is plainly obvious...an Agent of the system. Neo defeating him drastically changed that...the "Its...
The bench the Oracle is sitting on at the end has "In Memory of Thomas Anderson" inscribed on it (someone elses pic...sorry about the annoying green arrows etc)
The single biggest complaint I have about the last 2 films is that there is no depth to Seraph's character. Being called "wingless" "Judas" and "the prodigal son" without ANY explanation is unforgiveable. I understand that seraph is in reference to "Seraphim" which is the highest choir of...
I agree on the Kid delivering the message, it was as if the W's thought he needed one more part in the film, and had run out of places to use him. Had someone of more "importance" delivered it perhaps it would have gone over better.
In regards to Smith leaving his avatars behind when he was destroyed...just think of him in terms of most PC virii. While some destroy data, the good majority of them - when wiped out - leave the original file completely intact.
Loved the film, it ended the only way it really could have ended. I think alot of folks are not enjoying it simply because the last installment offered no twist. It was much more straight forwards than M1 and M2. One thing gets me though, and I dont see why its been overlooked. Why the...
