You can't forget about the Trinity-dying...oh wait...not- dying scene. That was the stupidest thing I have ever seen!! I mean, the ENTIRE movie Neo is scared and frightened about Trinity's future:she will die. But he ended up fixing that too??? COME ON! At LEAST the brothers could've made Neo CATCH the bullet, or something else better! You could almost hear everyone at the theater mutter the words "ooohh pleeeease!" during that scene. As so did I.
Another part of the movie is just as stupid. The KEYMAKER??? COME ON!! I know that this character has MANY oh-so wonderful philosophical meanings and symbolic tid- bits, but that was just as stupid as it can get. I mean, an old man that makes keys. Hmmm...very original! It sounded too much like the Ghostbusters' "the Gatekeeper" type of deal. It's just too much.
You totally got the other parts that I thought were dead- stupid as well. The dancing orgy scene has been said by many great Neo-fanatics that this means that Zion is the land of Hell, of Satan's. That multiple sex partners and such is Bad,bad,bad. This was why Neo and Trinity left that scene, because, y'know, Neo is the One (or should I say, "Jesus") and Trinity is the spirit, showing to the bored theater audience that LOVE is the way to go. But it went on a bit too long. Even my girlfriend, who isn't much of a fan of these movies but loves those boyfriend- girlfriend love scenes, said "That was pointless." Stopping a movie, I quote, "dead in its tracks" is exactly what the Wachowskis did.
Another problem...(take a deep breath)...WHY can't Neo, who is all-powerful and all that jazz, simply fly THROUGH everybody who's trying to fight him?? Especially in the Chateau scene, if he could stop bullets, that can't he stop kicks and punches as well?? If he's as fast as he was at the end of the first flick, why wasn't he as fast this time in part 2? He would've whipped all their butts in a second!!
Another thing...why even add 2 other parts of the movie in a video game and an animatrix show?? From part 2 already being this bad, i don't think anyone would even bother to buy this stuff. Why?? I mean, the meaningless battle scenes filled up the whole movie. Why should it be our fault that we have to buy this other crap to see the rest of it??? Think about it, people!
SO MUCH UNNECESSARY C-R-A-P in this movie that I refuse to see it again. Sure there might some great storyline that goes with it in part 3, but why did the brothers continue to give us such nonsense in part 2?? I really think the Wachowskis had 2.5 parts to the "trilogy", not an entire 3.0 . It was as if they just added all this other stuff to keep us entertained throughout the 2 1/2 hours of this crap. We were robbed!
NOTE TO THE WACHOWSKIS: If you want us to keep watching your Matrix movies, PLEASE oh please don't add meaningless battles, because then they don't look or feel as cool as you want them to be. Sure the special effects were awesome, I'll give you that, but you just can't fool us into thinking this movie is spectacular by adding unnecessary battles and junk. Haven't you seen The Phantom Menace?? Are you guys falling into the trap like Lucas did in that movie?? The first Matrix movie had many battle scenes, but they were there for a REASON: to make Neo begin to believe. But in part 2, it seemed as if you guys didn't know what else to do with Neo's supremely-tougher-and- faster-than-Superman-type character, so you just added these "cool" scenes to trick us. I mean, the guy can REVIVE people from DEATH, for Christ's sakes!! I say "Bologna" to that, my friends.
I'm pretty sure I'm missing many other things from the movie, so you guys replying can fill me in. I am just so mad at the Wachowskis and their new Matrix cult of buying and buying new memorabilia, as well as getting into the video games and Anime shows to "see the rest of Reloaded" from these. I was once a great fan of The Matrix, now after this ridiculousness, I am not anymore.
