The Matrix Reloaded (full spoilers)

trying to read about the plot and the purpose of neo in these sequential matrix iterations is hurting my brain

the first one has a similar amount of corny bits but it is ultimately a very thrilling and enjoyable movie

i never got round to watching the sequels but I caught a bit of the first one on tv the other day and it's in that awkward spot of being old and of its time enough to be egregiously dated but not quite old enough to induce fond nostalgia (caught a bit of austin powers: the spy who shagged me yesterday and it's in that same space in my brain). still a pretty fun film though.

i remember seeing this at a midnight show the night before it opened and it was pretty amazing how the thrills of the first film were completely absent here. i watched the car chase again recently and it was boring. i can't even watch the original matrix now tbh because the ending shot of superman neo just reminds me that his continuing adventures are going to be complete garbage.

but you get to rock out to ratm while you ponder the disappointments to come

the first film had a decent amount of humor and keanu was fully charming and the action scenes were scaled to a size that made them palpable and human level as opposed to video game-like.

neo and his pals certainly "raged" against a "machine" in this series you might say

i'm planning on rewatching the third film soon, i remember absolutely nothing about it except for like neo riding around a spaceship and seeing green code everywhere

the action scenes also seemed purposeful in the first movie

xp that's pretty much all there is too it tbh

I still dunno how ppl hate on this film when it contains the most intense fight/chase/fight sequence ever created. even when you know everything that happens, it still gives the clench. <3 <3 truck kombat.
