THis guy is tearing apart what is really a pretty good view of the Matrix... It's easy to tear apart someone elses work while doing none of your own... yet this guy screws it up:
Yes, they fight to learn not to fight, because what does Neo?s fighting do for the humans? Beside liberation, freedom, and an end to war? To quote a politician, I suppose that?s a good thing. But they had to fight to get it! Ashes, I tell you ? these triumphs taste like ashes!

Neo won liberation by choosing NOT to fight anymore, dumbass.

My favorite line:
There?s 62% less pontificating. Smith is Smithier than ever. Yes, some of the death soliloquies take a day and a half; yes, every war cliché is on parade with its pants down;

If ever Smith fought with Neo, Smith would've won for sure. That's just my opinion of course...but there were like a million Smiths.

Couldn 't he have just said, "this movie was lame" and been done with it 2782 words earlier?

lol, i got a couple chuckles from this review....
I winced when we had Yet Another Metaphorical Character introduced - The Trainman, this time. He shuttles programs here and there, a real sensitive and charon? kind of guy, etc. (Last time we had the Keymaster, and I kept expecting Rick Moranis to show up.)
Oracle: You don?t know what you want to do, child. Look at you, all serious now. Lawd. But sometimes we do things we want to do, not knowing what we don?t think we shouldn't.

Neo: I - I don?t understand.

Oracle: Neither do I. I wish I could tell you, Neo. I wish the script was better. But it?s not. Now if you?ll excuse me, I?m going to look away and smoke somewhat unconvincingly.
