When the first Matrix movie first came out I remember thinking what a brilliant piece of Sci-fi it was. The world as we know it isn't real and only exists in a computer etc etc.
And then they spoiled it by releasing Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions, two of the most pompous, up-its-own-@rse films ever released. Just to be sure, I borrowed the DVDs and am still of the same opinion, they're full of constant precocious drivel about programs and anomilies which must balance each other out, characters such as the Oracle and the Architect who spout equally smug precocious nonsense, and others who appear to play no real role in the plot at all such as the Frenchman. And then there's the interminable fight scenes between Smith and Neo that go on, and on, and on.
The funny thing is, people who claim to undertsand what Reloaded and Revolutions are all about are loathe to share their insightfulness with others. This is probably because they don't know themselves but think they should because there MUST be a message in their somewhere - the Emperors New Clothes scenario DT_Xtremez_31:
What do other goaters think?
