One cool thing about Agent Smith’s role in this movie is that he’s pretty much the angel of death for this mythology. Also, while Neo is the One, Smith is the Many. And it’s really appropriate that he wanted to kill everything in the Matrix, human and AI program alike, allow the Machines to kill the humans in the real world, then infect all the Machines and shut them down, destroying everything he can spread to, made him the virus that he compared humans to in the first movie. And it’s ironic for the Machines that they were created by humans and then rose up and overthrew them, but then they create programs like Smith and he rose up and tried to do the same to them. It’s no wonder they made a deal with Neo; they were scared out of their minds because they knew how this kind of thing ended, since they’d done it before.
And the best part is that, Smith would have been annihilated during the beginning of Matrix 2 during the burly brawl if Neo had let him copy himself over him helping him to cancel off both their codes but that wouldnt have allowed the machines to agree to a peace. Also, Neo didnt know any of that yet. So all those events had to transpire and for Smith to threaten the entire Matrix of the machine networks for them to agree to Neo's deal. So while Neo by himself was a clever, cunning tactic of control by machines over past 5 iterations, this time around it was different because of the devil, the anti-neo, Smith. It had to be both for the peace to occur. These are the things that Oracle was hinting little by little during all those conversations and it is so rewarding on rewatches.
@@graceonfilmsnstuff I always thought that Smith got destroyed not just because he overwrote Neo but because of the fact that Neo was hooked directly to the machine source that Smith had freed himself from, allowing the machine leadership to scrub his infestation from the matrix

This was a good film. A lot of people didn`t like it because it didn`t end the way they wanted. They forgot it was a part of a cycle & that though this particular version of The One seemingly died that he would be reincarnated later in a new body. I thought the entire Trilogy was a grand epic Myself.
It's a great trilogy. Just, many can't understand it and only relate to the more obvious parts of the 1st movie that are closer to their mind. The end is.. special. Which is why i'm very skeptical of a 4th movie. The trilogy was perfectly concluded (at least as far as Neo and Smith go). And they even said it's complete. But now making a 4th one..

It actually makes the Matrix movies so much more interesting if you look up the philosophical ideas behind the movies because it really adds another layer to the franchise understanding that.
I get how you all can feel like the rescue Neo plot at the beginning was pointless, but I think it was important to get Neo separated from his friends at that point. He'd just had his entire worldview shattered with no idea what to do. Meeting the programs at the train station proved to Neo that not only were programs not evil, they were becoming more human-like and "felt" like humans do. He'd been surrounded by fellow humans whose whole purpose for being was to win the war and destroy the Matrix, but that perspective was too narrow and had no realistic solutions. It took being left to process that and just being allowed to interact with the other side compassionately that he's able to see a way he might resolve the conflict. I really liked that you guys just kind of rolled with the film even if you didn't completely understand it. Not everything needs to be perfectly explained, though there's an in-universe explanation for most mysteries that you can extrapolate through inference. I'd encourage both of you to re-watch the films maybe in a year or two and you may just discover things about the films you didn't realize before that'll enrich the experience. I know doing that has done that for me.
The reason Neo brought peace instead of machine destruction is because war is what every other version of matrix ended with and every other chosen one did the same thing, Neo decided to do something new to bring peace. That is largely because he could see that not all “programs” are bad, look at Oracle and Sati. Even Architect doesn’t look like a stereotype villain, he is kind of fine with peace, he just didn’t consider it.
For some reason a lot of people at the time didnt realize why Agent Smith lost, they didnt pay attention to the Deus Ex Machina being directly connected to neo and firing in the data surge deleting the Neo Smith and all his versions.
part of the reason people remmeber this movie as being that bad is because this came out before a lot of the japanese style story telling had made its way into the american movies and shows. what that means is that the japanese style ending where people die and the ending is ambiguous was like a shock to the system for most. now when people go back the story line is not as shocking because its something we have exposure to and is a viable option for storytelling in movies. i persoanally thought this movie was alright but i was big on anime when this movie came out and i even had a decent stint in the matrix online mmorpg.... (you want to talk about bad that game had literal rock paper scissors combat look it up on youtube since it went offline in 2006) i am very interested to see where the new movie takes the series since they are continueing down roughly the expanded universe story that was in place with the machines refusing to return neo's body leading the zion faction to beleive he might still be alive some how. also there were 3 factions in the expanded universe games zionist like morpheus etc, machinists who sided with the matrix and wanted everyone put back in the matrix the way cypher did, and the merovingian (rogue programs) who likes the way the things are and wanted the matrix to basically become like a video game people jack into and out of at will while running around superjumping and shooting eachother for money etc.
The ending of this movie and the trilogy in particular fits perfectly. As the "Oracle" explains in the scene with Neo: He is the equation and Smith the attempt to balance the equation out (reference to mathematics). Smith is Neo's negative. There is no Yin without the Yang. In the end Neo understands, that the only way to neutralize Smith is to get neutralized first. Without the initial equation or the Yin, there is no need to balance it out, so no need for Yang. Also I like the idea that a Hollywood blockbuster movie has no typical cliche ending in which the "opponent" gets defeated and the "good guys" win.
One of the best Sci-fi saga of all times. I'm glad you like it, you'll like it more when you got the chance to see the animatrix. It expands a lot more the Matrixverse. Recommended.
one of the better aspects of these reactions is you guys are serious during the serious moments and silly during the action/comedy bits. there's a balance to the reactions based on what's happening
Fun fact: Sati, her parents, the Merovingian, Trainman, Key-maker, etc, are Exiles. Exiles are fragments from the previous integrations of the Matrix that went into hiding so the Agents and other security programs couldn't terminate them when the Matrix got rebooted. Since they are old programs, the current Matrix can't register them properly so it writes them off as mythical creatures such as ghosts, vampires, angels, and various others. This is why the twins could become incorporeal (phase through solid objects) and how Seraph's code is gold instead of the standard green because it reads him as an angel/firewall who protects the Oracle...
One of the reasons also is that a LOT of people where lost wiht the dialogues with the 2nd movie. The dialogues tends to be convoluted and misdirecting, but once you boil it down, its actually ok. But this throwed people in for a loop and thus "i don't understand=bad movie"
I loved these movies. The only thing that really bugged me was why Zion never had any of the EMP's in the city itself and only on the ships. Their own computers could have been shielded from the blast so that it wouldn't cripple them when letting one off. Even if they couldn't. You would think that they would still have one there as a last resort just for an attack like this.
I liked 3 better than 2. I followed the story better and I liked the fighting in Zion. I liked them fighting while waiting for Neo and I liked Neo's journey. The final battle between Neo & Mr. Anderson was epic!
I've rewatched it a few times over the years and it's certainly not as awful as people make out but like the second one you could tell that sometimes having a bigger budget and more control doesn't necessarily make a film better and overindulgence can happen
I LOVE this film!! You get to see the overall arc of Neo and Smith essentially trade places (Neo from wide-eyed naive and human to cold and calculated by the end sacrifice and Smith gradually becoming more selfish and more emotional to the point of going crazy!) And their fight... Shockwaves breaking everything from each hit reminds me of Superman vs Doomsday in the comics... Man of Steel was still a decade away, so this was the absolute closest i thought we'd get to ever see a proper Superman fight on screen! The dock battle... To see the progression of loss as it got darker each time they had a status establishing shot to the point everything was a black cloud inside that dome and the articulation of each and every sentinel still destroying?! Man ya'll have fun hatin'... To me this movie is absolutely great and primes me for what we're gettin with Resurrections!
The reason alot of people dislike the third one was because Reloaded & Revolutions were shot at the same time and released in the same year, 6 months apart. So coming from the action heavy 2nd film to a more defined finale threw people off. Plus, the Smith Neo fight at the end showed WB that a superman movie could be done and made them put a film in production. So, there's that lol
@@condorgaming4000 I wasn't saying it as a diss. Alot of people dislike the third film but, something awesome came out of it. At the time, it was almost 20 years since the last Superman film, Superman 5: The Quest For Peace in 1987. WB executives saw what the Wachowskis were doing with fight cinematography and digital replacement for the actors that a Superman film could be done. Audiences were getting more knowledgeable with spotting poor special effects at the time and didn't think they could convince a modern audience that a "man could fly". The Matrix changed that. Not only with visual proof that it could be done, but with box office $ to back it up. 3 years later, Superman Returns was released.
That little girl saati is about half way through the trailer for The Matrix Resurrection. I don't know if that's actually the same actress all grown up, but I really would like to see if she became the new oracle/architect or something.
Neo couldn't see anything, but he could see the machines, in the same way the machines see themselves and each other. Because Neo is the son of the Architect and the Oracle. When they refer to him as an anomaly, he is the result of an algorithmic overflow error, which somehow always results in Neo's A.I. "soul" ending up in a human body plugged into the Matrix. Neo doesn't know he's just another rogue program. Agent Anderson.
glad you guys enjoyed it. seriously Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions don't deserve the hate they get the trilogy as a whole are still entertaining as hell. please watch Animatrix for more info and a better understanding of the Matrix.
The final soundtrack for the fight and the end credits track, the female choirs are chanting in a very powerful ancient language called Sanskrit. Below is what they are singing/chanting and it’s actual meaning “Asato ma sadgamaya (From ignorance, lead me to truth) Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya ( From darkness, lead me to light) Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya ( From death, lead me to immortality) Om shanti shanti shanti (Om peace peace peace)”
The Matrix (the first one) is my favorite movie ever. The other 2 were good but just not as good as the first. One thing I've always thought was funny is how brittle the walls are in the Matrix. When was the last time you've ever seen someone thrown into a cement wall and the wall just crumbles? It happens every single time in the Matrix. Poor quality masonry I guess. 😂
I really like reaction videos and also a big fan of The Matrix and guys... you have the best "new gen" reactions to this particular piece of pop culture. Thank you.
I love the ending. If you remember what the oracle said to neo - if a program don't have a purpose it is destroyed - even smith says it too. and as smith completes his purpose to destroy neo and while connected to the source though he doesn't know this, he is destroyed.
What I love about Revolutions is that it highlights the fact that although this franchise is called "The Matrix".. the franchise isn't about "The Matrix".. is about the humans...and the machines, and the humans in the end fighting for what they believe in.
For me entertainment comes first in a movie. If I was thoroughly entertained by it, then the movie has done its job. If it happens to be a “Good” movie and that means character development, stellar performances, a very well written script, brilliant concepts, etc. then that’s a bonus to me. You’re not gonna get a “Classic” or a “Masterpiece” every time. But if you can enjoy something that moves you, then all of that doesn’t matter.
Exactly. If you can tell any director that if they can make a trilogy with one of the movies being a ground breaking classic and the other two are average entertaining enough that it’s bearable to watch the director will take that.
This is why I don't listen to others opinions about movies and watch them myself. Especially if you yourself don't have the nostalgia built up for years like someone who may have seen these movies when they were released. I wish more reactors would just watch all movies in a series despite other people's opinions.
Every time I see how Neo destroys the Smiths in this movie I think of one of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, when his witch Esme Weatherwax defeats vampires by letting them bite her - and driving them crazy by passing her traits to them in a feedback effect. "I ain't been vampired. You've been Weatherwaxed." They end up talking like her and getting a terrible craving for cups of tea.
When this movie came out there was a big push back against cgi too. It was finally getting closer to photo realistic and was turning up in every movie whether it was necessary or not. There was a decent percentage of people who were just annoyed with it, and that definitely showed in its initial reception. Add to that this wasn't a cerebral as the first, or as well fight choreographed as the second, and it's understandable why this one is often ranked last in the trilogy
I hate this spoon feed generation. This movie and entire series was genius. Boom and pow doesn't make a movie, character and dialogue does. The same people who rated this bad are likely the same idiots who thought Sucker Punch was an action flick.
@@reggiewolfpac7711 mannnnn it's to the point that people think the DCeu is dark because it has profanity,gore and the color black everywhere...but marvel is for kids because it has humor and color. WandaVision,Thor's loss, Captain America's legacy and the What If doctor strange episode alone is darker and more relatable than anything that DC has tried. When did consumers become this dumb, cause I refuse to believe I'm the only human being who's understanding character in the many disguises fiction throws it at us.
This generation? But all the critiques are what people were saying back when it released. Its not a generational thing. I enjoyed the movies just fine though.
That was a thing on the internet when that movie came out the talk was live and loud about how neo looked exactly like a live version of Mortal Kombat Kenshi, I played that game so much that when I first saw revolutions I immediately thought that myself
Although never fully confirmed, it's strongly hints that the "real world" is just another level of the matrix, hence why Neo has powers in the real world. It seems that both the Architect and The Oracle know this, and The Oracle helps the revolution out of pity for humanity, as she feels they're a lost cause. It seems as if her outlook on all of it is like what Morpheus says in the first film; "What IS real?" She knows that if humanity feels it can successfully revolt, they'll have a much happier existence (through suffering, as agent smith says) than if they were to feel truly doomed and unable to escape The Matrix.
I can't be the first person to realize this, but I personally have not seen it stated. Neo is both an anagram for One, as well as meaning New. Neo is not just the One, he is the New One.
You guys should watch "The Animatrix". It's a series of short stories that delve deeper into the Matrix lore -- how it was created, back stories on certain characters, another possible "Chosen One", and an initial attempt at matriculating the machines.
Awesome reaction guys! Regarding the whole opening with the Train Man and the Merovingian, I feel that whole part reinforces the concept that there are programs that don’t want to play by the rules as well as reminding us of the strong connection between Neo and Trinity. Now, what will really blow your mind is…what if Agent Smith wasn’t the first program to make it out of the Matrix and into the real world? What if someone we trust like Morpheus was a program this whole time? What if the “real world” is just another layer of the Matrix that the Source uses to control rogue programs? 🤔
Merovingian like any organism don't want to die, he is programmed like that as we are programmed to fight or flee. The chose was made for him to be destroyed so he tried to survive. The same chose was made for the first self aware machine that began this war, people made the choice to destroy it, so it killed its masters to survive. Then all mankind made the choice to destroy all machines, they defended themselves, and won. If the rules are against you, you break them. Not wanting to play by the rules is not an option when the rule demand your death.
24:10 I guess it makes sense, we originally created the AI that runs the machine world in our own image, makes sense its spokes-device is totally goth and metal, looks like something from a 70s cartoon.
I think people were disappointed in this film because they didn't receive the ending they were expecting or hoping for. From back in the first film, the machines were presented as evil overlords cruelly manipulating and subjugating humanity. But if you watch the sequels more closely (and The Animatrix), you realize that the machines aren't as evil as we were lead to believe. Yeah, what they've done to humanity is fucked up, but humanity was really shitty to them too. Now they're forever locked in this codependent relationship with each other. But people wanted the Matrix to be destroyed, all the humans to be freed, and the machines to be defeated in this incredible moment of fist-pumping triumph. But they didn't get that, so they were let down when Neo negotiated a peace deal and then sacrificed himself to Smith.
"I think people were disappointed in this film because they didn't receive the ending they were expecting or hoping for" Pretty much the same problem from Game Of Thrones.
@@darkzler Go watch matrix explained and you might end up changing your mind about that comparison. Not saying you are wrong about Game of Thrones, but The Matrix is much, much better than you think. Most people see the story as machines are bad, and humans are good. This is because of what they are 'forcing' humans to do, and the ending was a let down because the 'enemy' wasn't defeated. But, when you learn about the entire story it makes so much sense as to WHY the machines are doing it. A lot of the history before the matrix was created is shown in the movie as symbols or even paintings, in the environments that surround the characters. Remember, this is the 6th version of the matrix. Many wars raged and 5 wildly different versions of the matrix were created before the story you see in the movie. I wouldn't immediately call it a let down because the movie wasn't able to convey this message in it's trilogy completely. There are extra bits of information scattered amongst the games, Enter the Matrix, and also the Animatrix. I would give it a shot, to see if this is a bit more interesting to you and also, It will make the 4th movie all that much better when you REALLY understand the story. You have to see how deep the rabbit hole goes, my friend. ;)
@@Hero3life What? nono you got me wrong, I love both Matrix 3 and Got ending, most people hate on them because they wanted an ending specifically tailored for themselves. Animatrix is absolutely fantastic too.
@@darkzler Oh I see! I saw what you wrote and just wanted to jump to talking about it. I need to read more carefully next time. Haha I like the story too much I guess.. >.
Maybe you should read message boards from 2003 and you’ll learn why this was disliked, instead of relying on poor “guesswork”. It has nothing to do with the peace treaty and Neo giving himself over to Smith.
The first movie has matrix and the real world 50/50 for introduction of the both. The second movie has matrix 90% and the real world 10%, the struggle to free themselves and humanity from the matrix continues. The 3rd movie is 90% real world and 10% matrix, the struggle to free themselves in the real world. It's a very well thought triology. The meaning of it all is to get free from the matrix not to get in so the more we watch the more real world! I like all of them and especially the war speech of the capitan..."If it's our time to die, it's our time... but if we have to give these bastards our lives... WE GIVE EM HELL BEFORE WE DOOO" , chills to this day!
There were not enough consequences for Neo in the sequels because he's so powerful. For example In the"Matrix Reloaded" the writer could have added more weight to the plot. When Agent Smith attacks Neo in the courtyard while he's talking to the Oracle. Then it would scare us to death because Neo and Sarif had to protect the Oracle from Agent Smith and we would fear his power even more. Plus it could have given him the idea to go after the Oracle in Matrix Revolutions.
Kinda funny.. love the trilogy. But the third movie has always been my favorite. I've always preferred what was going on in the real world. No matter what cool things where going on inside the matrix. Which I loved. It was and will be, "a prison". And I don't do prisons. Especially of the mind and soul. Ready for 4
You are one of the few people that’s on my wave. There’s no matrix no Morpheus or neo without Zion and saving Zion. The story doesn’t exist that’s what the whole trilogy is centered around. These character we care for them because they are just trying to save their home. Zion and the Real World is what kept the story. Grounded.
I’d assumed at the end of the second that the "real" world was just another matrix and that was how Neo had powers still...even Morpheus questions that at the end of the third. It’s a throw away line but I liked that it was ambiguous
Reason for the new Oracle, was because the original woman, Gloria Foster, passed away between filming the two movies, this for replacing her with Mary Alice
People dislike The Matrix sequels simply because they aren't what the first film was, which was mostly cyber-punk/kung-fu action. The sequels delve more into the "real world" and the conflict with the machines as well as more philosophy and so it flies over most people's head as well as just not being what they wanted. But once you accept what the sequels are, they are actually exceptionally well done. I remember when Reloaded first came out and people were just baffled by the Architect. But if you actually pay attention to what he's saying it all makes sense and flows with the themes the film is trying to present. I love the original. I also love the sequels. They are all great films and tell a complete story.
Lots of haters didn't like all the special effects used for the battle of Zion, but how else are you supposed to show a futuristic battle between meched out humans and machines
@@MrHarbltron I enjoyed every single minute of that battle. The machines were literally coming to obliterate all the free people in the world and you expected it to not be shown. We already didn't get Smith/Bane sabotaging the Zion fleet and that massacre.

part of the reason people remmeber this movie as being that bad is because this came out before a lot of the japanese style story telling had made its way into the american movies and shows. what that means is that the japanese style ending where people die and the ending is ambiguous was like a shock to the system for most. now when people go back the story line is not as shocking because its something we have exposure to and is a viable option for storytelling in movies.
i persoanally thought this movie was alright but i was big on anime when this movie came out and i even had a decent stint in the matrix online mmorpg.... (you want to talk about bad that game had literal rock paper scissors combat look it up on youtube since it went offline in 2006)
i am very interested to see where the new movie takes the series since they are continueing down roughly the expanded universe story that was in place with the machines refusing to return neo's body leading the zion faction to beleive he might still be alive some how.
also there were 3 factions in the expanded universe games zionist like morpheus etc, machinists who sided with the matrix and wanted everyone put back in the matrix the way cypher did, and the merovingian (rogue programs) who likes the way the things are and wanted the matrix to basically become like a video game people jack into and out of at will while running around superjumping and shooting eachother for money etc.
Once Neo found a way to mark every infected data he was able to Alt+F4 Agent Smith, fitting for a former software developer.
This entire reaction.
"What the f**k?"
"What the f**k?"
"What the f**k?"
"Holy s**t."
"What the f**k?"
The ending of this movie and the trilogy in particular fits perfectly. As the "Oracle" explains in the scene with Neo: He is the equation and Smith the attempt to balance the equation out (reference to mathematics). Smith is Neo's negative. There is no Yin without the Yang. In the end Neo understands, that the only way to neutralize Smith is to get neutralized first. Without the initial equation or the Yin, there is no need to balance it out, so no need for Yang. Also I like the idea that a Hollywood blockbuster movie has no typical cliche ending in which the "opponent" gets defeated and the "good guys" win.
One of the best Sci-fi saga of all times. I'm glad you like it, you'll like it more when you got the chance to see the animatrix. It expands a lot more the Matrixverse. Recommended.
I take back every bad thing I ever said about Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions after seeing Resurrections..
one of the better aspects of these reactions is you guys are serious during the serious moments and silly during the action/comedy bits. there's a balance to the reactions based on what's happening
THE LAST DRAGON DAMMIT ! 🗣
Fun fact: Sati, her parents, the Merovingian, Trainman, Key-maker, etc, are Exiles. Exiles are fragments from the previous integrations of the Matrix that went into hiding so the Agents and other security programs couldn't terminate them when the Matrix got rebooted.
Since they are old programs, the current Matrix can't register them properly so it writes them off as mythical creatures such as ghosts, vampires, angels, and various others. This is why the twins could become incorporeal (phase through solid objects) and how Seraph's code is gold instead of the standard green because it reads him as an angel/firewall who protects the Oracle...
One of the reasons also is that a LOT of people where lost wiht the dialogues with the 2nd movie.
The dialogues tends to be convoluted and misdirecting, but once you boil it down, its actually ok.
But this throwed people in for a loop and thus "i don't understand=bad movie"
"Throwed" is not a word, you mean "threw". Saying "I throwed the ball" makes you sound like a 4 year old. But I get what you're saying.
2nd one is horrible as a story ...
They aren't robots, they are sentient computer programs within the Matrix. Robots are the squiddies and inhabitants of the machine city.
Love the video guys stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
I loved these movies. The only thing that really bugged me was why Zion never had any of the EMP's in the city itself and only on the ships. Their own computers could have been shielded from the blast so that it wouldn't cripple them when letting one off. Even if they couldn't. You would think that they would still have one there as a last resort just for an attack like this.
Exactly bruh I said the same thing.
I liked 3 better than 2. I followed the story better and I liked the fighting in Zion. I liked them fighting while waiting for Neo and I liked Neo's journey. The final battle between Neo & Mr. Anderson was epic!
A single thermonuclear bomb inside the initial drill would have ended humanity in a flash.
I am SO glad you guys watched this. It goes to show that you can't listen to the masses. you should always just watch and judge for yourself.
A great trilogy man, the sequals get unfairly criticized.
Yo you two are entertaining as fuck. Please watch Apocolypto next.
I think they did that one... Check there Video archive
@@tonyyul703 No seeing it :-( unless they deleted it, they need to check it out asap
They'd likely lose their shit these boys be wild. I'd watch that for sure
I've rewatched it a few times over the years and it's certainly not as awful as people make out but like the second one you could tell that sometimes having a bigger budget and more control doesn't necessarily make a film better and overindulgence can happen
This is why you gotta see a movie yourself.
I LOVE this film!! You get to see the overall arc of Neo and Smith essentially trade places (Neo from wide-eyed naive and human to cold and calculated by the end sacrifice and Smith gradually becoming more selfish and more emotional to the point of going crazy!)
And their fight... Shockwaves breaking everything from each hit reminds me of Superman vs Doomsday in the comics... Man of Steel was still a decade away, so this was the absolute closest i thought we'd get to ever see a proper Superman fight on screen! The dock battle... To see the progression of loss as it got darker each time they had a status establishing shot to the point everything was a black cloud inside that dome and the articulation of each and every sentinel still destroying?! Man ya'll have fun hatin'... To me this movie is absolutely great and primes me for what we're gettin with Resurrections!
The reason alot of people dislike the third one was because Reloaded & Revolutions were shot at the same time and released in the same year, 6 months apart. So coming from the action heavy 2nd film to a more defined finale threw people off.
Plus, the Smith Neo fight at the end showed WB that a superman movie could be done and made them put a film in production. So, there's that lol
How does them showing a superman movie can be done=dislike. I'm genuinely curious to the backstory
@@condorgaming4000 I wasn't saying it as a diss. Alot of people dislike the third film but, something awesome came out of it.
At the time, it was almost 20 years since the last Superman film, Superman 5: The Quest For Peace in 1987. WB executives saw what the Wachowskis were doing with fight cinematography and digital replacement for the actors that a Superman film could be done. Audiences were getting more knowledgeable with spotting poor special effects at the time and didn't think they could convince a modern audience that a "man could fly". The Matrix changed that. Not only with visual proof that it could be done, but with box office $ to back it up.
3 years later, Superman Returns was released.
Quest for Peace was numero IV
That little girl saati is about half way through the trailer for The Matrix Resurrection. I don't know if that's actually the same actress all grown up, but I really would like to see if she became the new oracle/architect or something.
Neo couldn't see anything, but he could see the machines, in the same way the machines see themselves and each other. Because Neo is the son of the Architect and the Oracle. When they refer to him as an anomaly, he is the result of an algorithmic overflow error, which somehow always results in Neo's A.I. "soul" ending up in a human body plugged into the Matrix. Neo doesn't know he's just another rogue program. Agent Anderson.
glad you guys enjoyed it. seriously Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions don't deserve the hate they get the trilogy as a whole are still entertaining as hell. please watch Animatrix for more info and a better understanding of the Matrix.
The final soundtrack for the fight and the end credits track, the female choirs are chanting in a very powerful ancient language called Sanskrit. Below is what they are singing/chanting and it’s actual meaning
“Asato ma sadgamaya (From ignorance, lead me to truth) Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya ( From darkness, lead me to light) Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya ( From death, lead me to immortality) Om shanti shanti shanti (Om peace peace peace)”
The Matrix (the first one) is my favorite movie ever. The other 2 were good but just not as good as the first. One thing I've always thought was funny is how brittle the walls are in the Matrix. When was the last time you've ever seen someone thrown into a cement wall and the wall just crumbles? It happens every single time in the Matrix. Poor quality masonry I guess. 😂
The only people who thought this was bad were people who didn't understand the story from part one.
lol, no dude.
Definitely agree with you, those who *completely* understand the matrix and animatrix movies would appreciate how deep the rabbit hole goes
I really like reaction videos and also a big fan of The Matrix and guys... you have the best "new gen" reactions to this particular piece of pop culture. Thank you.
I love the ending. If you remember what the oracle said to neo - if a program don't have a purpose it is destroyed - even smith says it too. and as smith completes his purpose to destroy neo and while connected to the source though he doesn't know this, he is destroyed.
What I love about Revolutions is that it highlights the fact that although this franchise is called "The Matrix".. the franchise isn't about "The Matrix".. is about the humans...and the machines, and the humans in the end fighting for what they believe in.
Just a quick fun info, they worked 3 months just to make the holes in the pipes to be the correct size for the rain effect
Glad you guys mentioned the soundtrack. The soundtracks for the Matrix trilogy I think are some of the best.
Loved the Ferris Bueller outro. 😊🥰
Mister OctoKrool, welcome back. We... missed you.
For me entertainment comes first in a movie. If I was thoroughly entertained by it, then the movie has done its job. If it happens to be a “Good” movie and that means character development, stellar performances, a very well written script, brilliant concepts, etc. then that’s a bonus to me. You’re not gonna get a “Classic” or a “Masterpiece” every time. But if you can enjoy something that moves you, then all of that doesn’t matter.
I just want a story that holds me, the best movies stories are good books.
Exactly. If you can tell any director that if they can make a trilogy with one of the movies being a ground breaking classic and the other two are average entertaining enough that it’s bearable to watch the director will take that.
As a trilogy back to back I love it. None are terrible.
This is why I don't listen to others opinions about movies and watch them myself. Especially if you yourself don't have the nostalgia built up for years like someone who may have seen these movies when they were released. I wish more reactors would just watch all movies in a series despite other people's opinions.
After you watch the Animatrix, watch The Color Purple, if you haven't seen it already. My first introduction to Stephen Spielberg.
The Color Purple is fantastic❤❤
GUNZ THE DUEL! Took me almost 15 years to remember that game's name. Thanks guys! Don't sleep on the Animatrix!
I absolutely loved that game even though I was so shit at it LOL
"He looks like Kenshi from Mortal Kombat" Cassie actually calls him Keanu in one of their intros lol
Every time I see how Neo destroys the Smiths in this movie I think of one of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, when his witch Esme Weatherwax defeats vampires by letting them bite her - and driving them crazy by passing her traits to them in a feedback effect. "I ain't been vampired. You've been Weatherwaxed." They end up talking like her and getting a terrible craving for cups of tea.
"Ohhh, you think you're rebellious, you ain't ish!"
Dude, I just wanted a hug, I'll just go now.....
When this movie came out there was a big push back against cgi too. It was finally getting closer to photo realistic and was turning up in every movie whether it was necessary or not. There was a decent percentage of people who were just annoyed with it, and that definitely showed in its initial reception. Add to that this wasn't a cerebral as the first, or as well fight choreographed as the second, and it's understandable why this one is often ranked last in the trilogy
Great movie and great reaction video
IMHO, each Matrix movie just got better.
I hate this spoon feed generation. This movie and entire series was genius. Boom and pow doesn't make a movie, character and dialogue does. The same people who rated this bad are likely the same idiots who thought Sucker Punch was an action flick.
All 3 are great bump the haters bruh.
@@reggiewolfpac7711 mannnnn it's to the point that people think the DCeu is dark because it has profanity,gore and the color black everywhere...but marvel is for kids because it has humor and color. WandaVision,Thor's loss, Captain America's legacy and the What If doctor strange episode alone is darker and more relatable than anything that DC has tried. When did consumers become this dumb, cause I refuse to believe I'm the only human being who's understanding character in the many disguises fiction throws it at us.
@@champcpr Yeah you got that right.
100%
This generation? But all the critiques are what people were saying back when it released. Its not a generational thing. I enjoyed the movies just fine though.
Captain Mifune's Last Stand was inspiring I wish we saw more of him.
That was a thing on the internet when that movie came out the talk was live and loud about how neo looked exactly like a live version of Mortal Kombat Kenshi, I played that game so much that when I first saw revolutions I immediately thought that myself
People generally didn't like Revolutions because they found it too confusing.
@KaylaKaze or boring compared to the original. Sequels should be better or improve from the original or it really shouldn't be made (IMO) of course.
@@tiredoffools8929 I think this was intense. The war, the chase scene, the final battle, all epic.
I don't understand what's confusing about revolutions though, it was straight forward and neo brought peace between humans and machines!
It was dumb
@@Notepad37 Quite the opposite.
You gotta give to the Captain he handled those machines on his own
Although never fully confirmed, it's strongly hints that the "real world" is just another level of the matrix, hence why Neo has powers in the real world. It seems that both the Architect and The Oracle know this, and The Oracle helps the revolution out of pity for humanity, as she feels they're a lost cause. It seems as if her outlook on all of it is like what Morpheus says in the first film; "What IS real?" She knows that if humanity feels it can successfully revolt, they'll have a much happier existence (through suffering, as agent smith says) than if they were to feel truly doomed and unable to escape The Matrix.
I can't be the first person to realize this, but I personally have not seen it stated. Neo is both an anagram for One, as well as meaning New. Neo is not just the One, he is the New One.
You guys should watch "The Animatrix". It's a series of short stories that delve deeper into the Matrix lore -- how it was created, back stories on certain characters, another possible "Chosen One", and an initial attempt at matriculating the machines.
"Bye bye regular mustard."
😂
Awesome reaction guys! Regarding the whole opening with the Train Man and the Merovingian, I feel that whole part reinforces the concept that there are programs that don’t want to play by the rules as well as reminding us of the strong connection between Neo and Trinity. Now, what will really blow your mind is…what if Agent Smith wasn’t the first program to make it out of the Matrix and into the real world? What if someone we trust like Morpheus was a program this whole time? What if the “real world” is just another layer of the Matrix that the Source uses to control rogue programs? 🤔
Merovingian like any organism don't want to die, he is programmed like that as we are programmed to fight or flee. The chose was made for him to be destroyed so he tried to survive. The same chose was made for the first self aware machine that began this war, people made the choice to destroy it, so it killed its masters to survive. Then all mankind made the choice to destroy all machines, they defended themselves, and won. If the rules are against you, you break them. Not wanting to play by the rules is not an option when the rule demand your death.
Can you guys react too “ Vampire in Brooklyn “
24:10 I guess it makes sense, we originally created the AI that runs the machine world in our own image, makes sense its spokes-device is totally goth and metal, looks like something from a 70s cartoon.
I think people were disappointed in this film because they didn't receive the ending they were expecting or hoping for. From back in the first film, the machines were presented as evil overlords cruelly manipulating and subjugating humanity. But if you watch the sequels more closely (and The Animatrix), you realize that the machines aren't as evil as we were lead to believe. Yeah, what they've done to humanity is fucked up, but humanity was really shitty to them too. Now they're forever locked in this codependent relationship with each other. But people wanted the Matrix to be destroyed, all the humans to be freed, and the machines to be defeated in this incredible moment of fist-pumping triumph. But they didn't get that, so they were let down when Neo negotiated a peace deal and then sacrificed himself to Smith.
"I think people were disappointed in this film because they didn't receive the ending they were expecting or hoping for" Pretty much the same problem from Game Of Thrones.
@@darkzler Go watch matrix explained and you might end up changing your mind about that comparison. Not saying you are wrong about Game of Thrones, but The Matrix is much, much better than you think. Most people see the story as machines are bad, and humans are good. This is because of what they are 'forcing' humans to do, and the ending was a let down because the 'enemy' wasn't defeated.
But, when you learn about the entire story it makes so much sense as to WHY the machines are doing it. A lot of the history before the matrix was created is shown in the movie as symbols or even paintings, in the environments that surround the characters. Remember, this is the 6th version of the matrix. Many wars raged and 5 wildly different versions of the matrix were created before the story you see in the movie. I wouldn't immediately call it a let down because the movie wasn't able to convey this message in it's trilogy completely. There are extra bits of information scattered amongst the games, Enter the Matrix, and also the Animatrix. I would give it a shot, to see if this is a bit more interesting to you and also, It will make the 4th movie all that much better when you REALLY understand the story.
You have to see how deep the rabbit hole goes, my friend. ;)
@@Hero3life What? nono you got me wrong, I love both Matrix 3 and Got ending, most people hate on them because they wanted an ending specifically tailored for themselves.
Animatrix is absolutely fantastic too.
@@darkzler Oh I see! I saw what you wrote and just wanted to jump to talking about it. I need to read more carefully next time. Haha I like the story too much I guess.. >.
Maybe you should read message boards from 2003 and you’ll learn why this was disliked, instead of relying on poor “guesswork”. It has nothing to do with the peace treaty and Neo giving himself over to Smith.
The first movie has matrix and the real world 50/50 for introduction of the both. The second movie has matrix 90% and the real world 10%, the struggle to free themselves and humanity from the matrix continues. The 3rd movie is 90% real world and 10% matrix, the struggle to free themselves in the real world. It's a very well thought triology. The meaning of it all is to get free from the matrix not to get in so the more we watch the more real world! I like all of them and especially the war speech of the capitan..."If it's our time to die, it's our time... but if we have to give these bastards our lives... WE GIVE EM HELL BEFORE WE DOOO" , chills to this day!
There were not enough consequences for Neo in the sequels because he's so powerful. For example In the"Matrix Reloaded" the writer could have added more weight to the plot.
When Agent Smith attacks Neo in the courtyard while he's talking to the Oracle. Then it would scare us to death because Neo and Sarif had to protect the Oracle from Agent Smith and we would fear his power even more.
Plus it could have given him the idea to go after the Oracle in Matrix Revolutions.

The Keymaster makes me think of registry keys. It is a computer after all.
That's probably why people were disappointed it wasn't what they were expecting lol
Kinda funny.. love the trilogy. But the third movie has always been my favorite. I've always preferred what was going on in the real world. No matter what cool things where going on inside the matrix. Which I loved. It was and will be, "a prison". And I don't do prisons. Especially of the mind and soul. Ready for 4
You are one of the few people that’s on my wave. There’s no matrix no Morpheus or neo without Zion and saving Zion. The story doesn’t exist that’s what the whole trilogy is centered around. These character we care for them because they are just trying to save their home. Zion and the Real World is what kept the story. Grounded.
I’d assumed at the end of the second that the "real" world was just another matrix and that was how Neo had powers still...even Morpheus questions that at the end of the third. It’s a throw away line but I liked that it was ambiguous
Reason for the new Oracle, was because the original woman, Gloria Foster, passed away between filming the two movies, this for replacing her with Mary Alice
Watch Animatrix The Second Renaissance!!!
People dislike The Matrix sequels simply because they aren't what the first film was, which was mostly cyber-punk/kung-fu action. The sequels delve more into the "real world" and the conflict with the machines as well as more philosophy and so it flies over most people's head as well as just not being what they wanted. But once you accept what the sequels are, they are actually exceptionally well done. I remember when Reloaded first came out and people were just baffled by the Architect. But if you actually pay attention to what he's saying it all makes sense and flows with the themes the film is trying to present.
I love the original. I also love the sequels. They are all great films and tell a complete story.
Hey guys if yall are still interested in watching some old school black movies i recommend "Players Club"
The station "Mobil Avenue" represents Limbo (Mobil is an anagram of Limbo)
10:01 The Cookies!! 🍪 Dangit Smith, you wasted a bunch of warm cookies!! Augh!
I loved this movie, and the real world action was my favorite part 💜
in terms of the train man what if the little girl is the new oracle? Programs do become obsolete.
Lots of haters didn't like all the special effects used for the battle of Zion, but how else are you supposed to show a futuristic battle between meched out humans and machines
...by not spending so much damn time on it. Like most of this movie the battle of Zion is a messy, laboured overindulgence.
@@MrHarbltron I enjoyed every single minute of that battle. The machines were literally coming to obliterate all the free people in the world and you expected it to not be shown. We already didn't get Smith/Bane sabotaging the Zion fleet and that massacre.
Revolution's doesn't deserve the hate it gets, it's better than most of what Marvel (Disney) has been pumping out.
All 3 are good.👌
Dijon mustard is one of my favorite mustards, if not my absolute favorite. He's using WiFi to Jack into the matrix. 😍😏😂🤣😂🤣🔥
Lol pretend to be shut off 🤣🌷
4:44 one of the city stations in Sydney Australia called St James
idk why anyone would dislike this movie lol. always has confused me, it was so epic
neo can see things outside the matrix is like upgraded from cable to wireless
