Personally, I loved it. But then again, I loved the last one, so YMMV. Not many questions this time around, lots of answers this time around, not as much hardcore Matrix action, plenty of hardcore action out of the Matrix. I'm satisfied. I agree with
So, that answers why Neo could do things.
The ending had a very Mona Lisa Overdrive feel to it. Entities chatting in the `trix, dawn of a new age, everything the way it should be, curious about the unlocked door of the future. If the Finn pulled up in a car for the Oracle, the Architect, and Sati to get in it would have made me fall out of my seat with laughter. The acting by Bane was wonderful, imitating the inflections and mannerisms of Smith so well. The blind-fighting Neo was amusing, as was the post Oracle-assimilation Smith.
The only thing I can't understand... is all of the people who didn't understand the ending. There were people in the theater saying they didn't get it. I've read countless reviews and comments online from people who didn't understand. I'm not trying to sound arrogant, pompous, or intelligent... but wilco tango foxtrot (yes, I know whiskey tango foxtrot is more correct)? What was so hard to understand? Sure, there's a few minor points unanswered, and a few minor nits to pick. But where's the holy mystery that leaves everyone so baffled? I don't get it.
And that's enough in spoilerland. In other news, the DMV is trying to fark me out of a couple hundred dollars. Big bad DMV says, "NJ Cure says you have no insurance. Prove you have insurance!"
If it wasn't for my desire to sometimes visit people and run errands, and the lack of service between Hoboken and Madison, I would so go for the car-less lifestyle. Between insane insurance companies not contacting me to the DMV losing faxes, bleh. At least I've been having good luck with Hoboken parking, and am getting much better at locating spots.
Final note on the movie: In another instance of kids chatting about the coat, I got quite a few comments on the coat walking through the theater. No, no, I wear this thing constantly and have been wearing long leather trench coats since at least half a decade before the first movie came out. So don't assume it's some form of cosplay. I'm not showing my solidarity towards Neo. PLS DIE K THX!
