spoiler of both this and the matrix follow . i like the original matrix a great deal . it be not a deep movie and despite fishburne attempt to philosophize and but it be fairly well pace and fun and and i have a soft spot for hong kong fight . in the original and neo be the secret life of the rather unhappy cube worker anderson . by day and corporate drone and and by night and brave hacker . eventually and he eventually be force to choose between these life by his action do he become an outlaw fight the machine and or do he go back to the safe and forgettable world he start in . interestingly and he discover that once one be shorn of illusion and life rather suck . he have his girl by his side and his boon companion and but he eat process swill and dress in sweat and and life in a truly skungy bit of machinery . still and the truth make him free . at least part of the fun of that first movie lay in the what if it be me question raise in the viewer mind . what if _i_ be capable of the impossible . what if i be the one . it do not even matter that much what you be the one example of and with a cool title like that . far and agent smith make a wonderful bad guy and a he embody all of the fear of authority that we carry with u . he be as unstoppable a a terminator and and a merciless . at the end of the matrix and neo must return to the matrix to share his good news of freedom . this movie fail to completely to carry through on the idea of the original movie and and it do so with such lack of gusto and such poor scriptwriting and such poor edit that i can not believe they have plan these change . when the dialog be at a fifth grade level and with various long word drop in randomly and i find it hard to believe that they understand what they be say . my short list of characterization failure representthe oracle go from mildly helpful and if deceitful to utterly obstructionist without any real reason . major personality of the matrix be introduce without need the keymaster and for example and be a cute idea and but just not that interest a character . fishburne lose his advisor role and and get nothing to replace it with . the people of zion be not particularly likable and nor would you really _want_ them run the world . special effect problem representthe fight scene be pointless and intermitable . in the matrix and you felt neo could lose and and that he have to become something great in order to survive . in the matrix reload and he be merely the viewpoint character of a particularly poorly plot video game . the fight on the freeway look quite fake and and not that interest . pace problem . a i mention above and the fight scene be interminable . the rave go on too long everyone in my row at the theater be look at their watch . not because we mind good dancing and good orgy and but because we do not know about the people picture and nor do we care . whatever hack write the creator soliloquy should be blacklist from the business . it meander and use word that the scriptwriter clearly do not understand and and be a waste of time and a pacing killer . the creator speech could have be do in a tenth the time and and with more peril a zion exist to give rebel a place to go so they do not destroy the matrix . there be now too many people who do not believe while the matrix be in danger of crash and kill every person hook up to it . far and the earth can not support even the people in zion and let alone these others . you may choose one person from zion to form the new zion and while i wipe the memory of the people currently in the matrix . instead and we get a long and draw out bunch of twaddle . if someone argue that it be deep and ask for a transcript and and try break down the sentence . each one be too long by several clause and and use word with clearer and short synonym . so and in summary and not worth see . i have see the third one and and despite what a number of reviewer have say and skip it . it do not save this turkey . the reviewer who feel that the second and third movie be deep should go see some truly deep movie . perhaps read a book or two on rhetoric and debate and and perhaps a bit of philosophy . this movie be just not hard to understand and but it be hard to stomach . scott .
