			They didn't need to re-do the "lobby scene". I got bored - you knew what the outcome was going to be, and what it would look like.
		
		

	



They didn't quite redo it - Seraph was there, they had to show him fight at least once, and the villains were AI's.  The lobby shootout villains were normal humans.








 
 
	
	

		
		

			Too many new questions raised. The Smiths, Neo's hand waving thing, the Station, The French Man, etc, etc.
		
		

	



The Smiths was raised in the previous movie.  Basically after Neo fudged his code at the end of the first movie, Smith became a virus and gained the ability to 'take over' other programmes (human minds included).  Neo's hand waving thing was a direct result of his 'One' powers - he has an intrinsic link to the Machine AI, and has some control over ANYTHING involving it, even in the real world.  The Station was explained well enough, it's a "link" between the Matrix and the Real World... the two 'parent' AI's were real machines from outside the Matrix (and had machine bodies, I would assume) and the Train Station was the means by which they put their "daughter"'s code into the Matrix.  The story behind the Frenchman?  Good lord, man, did you pay any attention to one of Reloaded's longest scenes?








 
 
	
	

		
		

			Factual (or seemingly so) errors - like the hovership. How did that get above the clouds?
		
		

	



They pulled up at full velocity, and I assume by the time the engines cut out, they had enough inertia to bring them just over the cloud layer.  Simple physics.  The engines don't have to be on the whole time.








 
 
	
	

		
		

			Action too intense at times - Strobe lights are fine in moderation, but can ruin the experience and give headaches if used too much.
		
		

	



Strobe lights?

 That won't work...and why was a New Matrix created again.. if the war is over why is there a need to have another matrix just so the cycle can repeat... 
		
		

	

	
	

		
		

			 Lobby scene: Talk about splitting hairs. Different fighters, different targets. Either way, it's the same scene. FYI, in the commentary on the first DVD (original release), they refer to the military shooters in the lobby as programs and clones. Not that it matters.
		
		

	

	
	

		
		

			Did I pay attention to Reloaded? Nope. Nice highway chase, though.
		
		

	

	
	

		
		

			Simple physics? There is no way a tank like that would have enough inertia to get above the cloud layer. I'd always assumed that those things worked by generating a field that repulses against metal surfaces - at least that's what they look like they were designed for. Not much metal in the atmosphere to get any lift. Anyway, a minor point.
		
		

	

	
	

		
		

			Strobe lights: The Neo/Smith impersonator fight on the ship on the way to the Machine City. Way too intense, I couldn't watch it. Likewise with the Neo/Smith fight at the end. Not as bad, but still difficult to watch at times.

 Personally, I really enjoyed the first one. The second one was great, but it annoyed the hell out of me, because it was to be continue.... .. So I am not that into it cuz of that crap they did... 
		
		

	

	
	

		
		

			At the end the matrix didn't reload (that would have cause all the humans hooked up to it to die). It simply got uncorrupted. Kinda like how a virus scanner removes the bad bits to restore a file.
		
		

	

	
	

		
		

			You tell us to pay attention to the movie. Like we didn't actually watch it or something. I did pay attention, doesn't change the fact that I think the second movie sucked the fattest horse cock in the entire world. I do wish I had my time and money back, and I'm glad I wasn't duped into seeing the third one too. If I want to listen to a bunch of philosphy or something I'll take a class on it.

 I went into reloaded expecting it would be arlight, but not wonderful, I agree that reloaded would have been bad with no story just action, cause even the action in that movie was bad lol. In any case, the movie wasn't good even with the story so I think that says something.

 I'd take bill and ted and it's budget of a few thousand dollars over the matrix any day of the week.
