I should be stumbling out of the movie tomorrow at approximately this time. Never saw the first one in theaters, so I can't wait to see the special effects on a big screen and not on my 20 inch TV.

THE MATRIX RELOADED / ***1/2
BY ROGER EBERT
http://www.suntimes.com/output/ebert1/cst-ftr-matrix14f.html
BY ROGER EBERT
Commander Lock: "Not everyone believes what you believe."
Morpheus: "My beliefs do not require that they do."
Characters are always talking like this in "The Matrix Reloaded," which plays like a collaboration involving a geek, a comic book and the smartest kid in Philosophy 101. Morpheus in particular unreels extended speeches that remind me of Laurence Olivier's remarks when he won his honorary Oscar--the speech that had Jon Voight going "God!" on TV, but in print turned out to be quasi-Shakespearean doublespeak. The speeches provide not meaning, but the effect of meaning: It sure sounds like those guys are saying some profound things.
That will not prevent fanboys from analyzing the philosophy of "The Matrix Reloaded" in endless Web postings. Part of the fun is becoming an expert in the deep meaning of shallow pop mythology; there is something refreshingly ironic about becoming an authority on the transient extrusions of mass culture, and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) now joins Obi-Wan Kenobi as the Plato of our age.

Well, I'll be watching it tonight, not in a crowded theater, but in the comfort of my bedroom. My 17" LCD and Klipsch 4.1's may not be movie theater quality, but it's good enough for me.

your a pirate, your apparently well off enough to have an 17" lcd and 4.1 klipsch, yet your stupid enough to ruin your first viewing with a telesync pirate copy to save 9bux? even worse, your stupid enough to brag about it. go away u moron.
Roger Ebert gave Equilibrium 3 stars.
Roger Ebert is a f*cking tool with NO TASTE IN MOVIES.
He will DIE.
Mr Smith revealed to Neo that he was his father!
Neo was like NOOOOOO!!! and jumped off a building.
But yeah - I must admit that it was damn awesome - all you guys w/ pretix will NOT be disappointed.
