I think what the guy meant was that while humans experience love emotionally, A.I can experience it through different means (algorithmical calculations) which lead to the same result - love.
I will never forget, when I saw this in the Cinema. When Trinity took forever to die, some guy yelled out from the back, "Hurry up and die already". Hilarious.
The last Smith/Neo fight is probably the closest approximation to a live action Dragon Ball Z fight there's ever been. I kind of love it for that reason.
for me it was RDC's in basic, only there it was "move like you got a purpose" in other words stop walking and haul ass to the next place you're supposed to be.
What if it wasn't a dialogue line, but instead - was actually a note on action? Like, "say shit X and move with purpose". But the actor just remembered the line and though it was an actual dialogue line?
I think the reason why Neo had a hard time fighting one Agent Smith is because that version was the Oracle prior to being infected. With The Oracle being one of the most powerful entities in these movies, it would make sense that some of her power was absorbed into Smith, giving him an advantage over Neo by being much stronger. It also makes sense considering he can suddenly predict the future, much like what the Oracle could do.
It wasn't just that, every time Smith made a copy he got just a tiny bit stronger. Multiply that by the millions of copies he made of himself and he was def stronger than Neo by that point. The oracle even mentions it in her boring talk with Neo.
You know, this whole trilogy of reviews makes fun of the Agent Smith character, but Hugo Weaving's performance was so memorable (and encapsulates the tone and identity of the movies so perfectly) that as monotone and stupid as he can be, Agent Smith left a huge impact on pop culture.
Actually, he is a very interesting character too. He experience emotions despite the fact he is a program and this is shown in the very first movie. He sincerely hates human being and this is a very good trait to have for an agent program. This is why he continues the search in the first movie before the subway scene takes place while other agents do not.
Fun fact, if you play "The Final Countdown" when they start fighting in the final fight scene, and only pause it during the dialogues, it syncs perfectly.

I think I know why Neo was having issue fighting that last Smith, while he was kicking the shit out of an army of them. When Smith "hacks" someone he basically just erases their identity and copy/paste his on to their shell. And while the copy's share his personality and knowledge the shell is still the shell. So when smith hacks a bystander the new smith is only a bit stronger then that shell due to smiths knowledge of hand to hand. It's basically an army of inferior copies. But when he hacked the oracle he hacked a very powerful program. So that copy was the superior copy. He even gains the oracle "visions" and why he can fly. That copy is now on the same level as Neo because he infected a MAJOR program
Real First* name. Agent Smith calls him Mister Anderson. The only issue I have is that Neo never reminds him that his name is "Neo", ya know. To mirror the end of the first film.
Yup, that's a no shit. But since Nostalgia Critic is so out of touch with everyone on the planet he doesn't have a clue what the fuck "move with a purpose" means and it's something the entire US military says to their soldiers. @Channel Awesome a.k.a. @Nostalgia Critic you're a fucking idiot and clearly do no research or for that matter, THINK, when things are put in front you.
I unapologetically love the entire trilogy, flaws and all lmao. The final fight with NEO and Agent Smith is still the best live-action DBZ fight put to screen.
+jrhSTYLE That and also Smith has been around longer than Neo. Smith himself has been around since the first version of the matrix and is discrepancy in the system making him the chosen one. So in the movies they were always fighting Smith the chosen one mistaking Neo for the chosen one.
jrhSTYLE If you go to the scene with the architect he pretty much gives it away. Also when they jack out of the matrix they are still in the matrix. The matrix itself is multi layered. The layer they are on gives a false impression that they are jacked out of the matrix when they are pretty much are still in it. All in all the people in the matrix cannot truly log out of it.
If neo hadn't saved trinity no one would've been able to fly him to the machines home base to stop the machines forever, so yeah he did end up saving more lives in the end.
What the Architect offered was the same thing that was offered to his previous predecessors. The whole attack on Zion is just a script they start to get them to find “The One” so that they can go through it all again to reboot the matrix. They effectively need neo to reboot it.
Dark City is a great film, but for the love of God, watch the Director's Cut. The theatrical version was a studio-mutilated abortion which was why it didn't do so well.
KashelGladio Thanks for the tip. I generally go for director's cuts if I can, anyway. I know that there are many cases where a perfectly great, refreshing and original story was ruined by studios trying to make something more acceptable for a larger audience and failing badly. It sounds like Dark City was just one more example of that.
James Aggas Agreed. It happens far too often. Kingdom of Heaven, for example, is one of Ridley Scott's best films. But you'd never know that if all you saw was the theatrical cut =(
My favourite gag in this entire series is how every time Schmuck appears there's a stage light visible in his sunglasses, just like in _Reloaded_ when they're talking to each other before the multiples fight.
He didn't realize some of the oracle's code was unable to be overwritten. He foresaw himself saying something, then realized it made no sense for him to say it, causing him confusion.
It seems like NC sometimes plays ignorant deliberately just to be able to mock something as though it doesn't make sense or because it seems stupid to him. It IS a pretty shit movie, but still..
@@TheSchemer1 to be fair... i didn't realize that's why Smith freaked like that until you guys pointed it out. There may be a logical reason for most of the stuff (plot-wise) in the series, but seriously, The Matrix movies really needed to make it more obvious as to what the plot was instead of prioritizing the symbolism and the gun fights. Like maybe they could've had Smith see the future happen right then, or have him flashing forward to a freed Zion or maybe even he starts talking in The Oracle's voice, or just something to clue us into the fact that the Oracle was still there. Honestly, Critic's got a good reason to mock these movies when most of the plot twists and plot itself is a confusing jumble of words, fighting, and explosions explained/shown to an overstimulated audience in like 6 seconds.
Why can't Neo just punch Agent Smith as easily the second time? Because Smith has the Oracle's power. When Smith absorbs someone, two things happen. 1) He absorbs their power 2) He absorbs their PURPOSE. *** THIS IS HOW NEO DEFEATS SMITH! ***Between the real world, and the 6 Matrices, Neo is the 7th incarnation of Jesus Christ. As such, his purpose is to 'Die To Save Mankind'. When Smith absorbs him, it becomes the purpose of ALL the Smiths to Die to Save Mankind. And since Smith is the principle threat to mankind.. BOOM, all they can do is self-destruct. The entire ending fight is a trick by Neo. He knows if he just surrenders to Smith, Smith will sense a trap, and just kill him, and win. He must get Smith to ABSORB him. So he plays the Stupid Hero and tries punching Smith, even though it's obvious that the best his DragonballZ power can do is fighting a single Smith to a standstill, and there's literally a world, if not WORLDS, of Smiths waiting to go next. At first, Smith is amused. Then Smith is annoyed. Then Smith is ENRAGED! THIS idiot is his arch nemesis? It's making HIM look bad!! He throws cold logic to the winds and goes for the defiling absorption.. Smith gets a warning just before it happens.. a vision from the Oracle that he doesn't understand.. that he's playing right into one of her plans. But then Neo starts moving again, and Smith lashes out.. absorbing him. Neo-Smith smiles back at him in satisfaction.. and suddenly Agent Smith loses all his composure, and whines "Oh NO.. it's NOT FAIR!!" Realization. Checkmate. Chain of exploding Smiths. Everyone comes back at the end, except for Neo, whose glorious sacrifice has finished his own purpose, and now he no longer exists.
+BlackfootFerret the last time I watched it I didn't really get that much from it, even though you're probably right. I think they needed to explain more without explaining
+BlackfootFerret There's a bit of a flaw with your conclusion. The entire reason Smith was a threat was because he no longer followed programming, he just did what he wanted. The Matrix was thrown into chaos because no one was fulfilling their purposes. It seems more to me that Smith died because he was connected directly to the Matrix's core through Neo. With direct access to Smith, the center of the Matrix could shut him down once and for all. Of course, symbolically, it's supposed to represent how Jesus became sin, died and took all the sin with him.
+Shady Doorags Do you remember the conversation Neo and Smith have before the massive fight in Movie 2? "We're not here because we're free.. we're here because we're NOT free." Smith is compelled to fight Neo, part of the Oracle's plan. He must still abide by the Purposes he's absorbed. Everything in the Matrix has a purpose, when it losses it, it ceases to exist
+BlackfootFerret it's amazing how stupid it sounds when explained, that's damn good story telling there! but yes basicly he absorbs her..."power" to justify ripping off all the animes the walchowski's jerked each other off to growing up, the end.
I've watched Dark City and I agree that it should be seen more. But hearing Nostalgia Ciritic mentioning the film makes me squee even more considering I have a penchant for noir films!
15:00 This is why you don't let the guy who can only see in blurry flames two feet in front of his face drive an aircraft going hundreds of miles per hour
This is a movie review with footages from the film. Therefore everyone has the rights to criticize and give their own opinions on the movie and the company can't just take it down just because he doesn't like it or not, it's his opinion and we like to hear it.
I actually heard somebody say the phrase "move with purpose" just half an hour after watching these videos. The context was that it was an a&p lecture and the teacher was explaining how connective tissues let us "move with purpose". It was the only other time I ever remember hearing that phrase so I thought it was weird as hell.
Paul Smith That's usually what I chalk this sort of thing up to. It's weird how hard we try to convince ourselves that our brains are infallible. Even knowing the cause, I'm inclined to think otherwise.
Right above this is another comment with the same phenomenon lol I'm gonna shit my fucking pants if I hear someone say it tomorrow lol idgaf how superstitious it makes me lol
@@mutt9779 Dude, I'm probably the first person to take the skeptical approach when it comes to paranormal stuff. But I know EXACTLY what you mean. Shit like this happens to me so often. It used to freak me out, but now it's just so common, it's just like "huh, how about that." But I still try to find some sort of meaning, or connection in events like that. And so far, after at least 10 years of it happening, I've found absolutely no connection or meaning to them. But I KNOW there's something to it. It's not something people would understand unless they've experienced it, but it's just far too perfect for it to be a mere coincidence. I just wish so much that I could find some sort of meaning in it.
So... I hate to bring this up, because I brought it up on a different review of this of yours, but Smith is strong for a reason. Oracle Smith fought Neo. So he was super strong and could fly and see the future. That's why Hugo Weaving looked stoned off his ass and said "Wait, I've seen this before." Still a pretty bad movie, but that at least makes sense.
It doesn't change the fact that it's dumb, and could be done better. Idk if what you said was stated in the movie, but if it wasn't, it should be for starters. And at the very least they should add some cool effects so it doesn't seem like a letdown from the previous movie.
"Cookies need love, like everything does." WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN???? I mean, clearly, there's some sort of deep symbolism there that my mind can't comprehend. Has anyone else solved the mysteries of this metaphorical masterpiece?
I know I'm a little bit late (just a little), but that was an answer to oracle's question about little girl. She said those words to her, and then Smith absorbed her, gaining knowledge of those words. In short, that is Smith saying "I've absorbed her"
Many in the comments have explained why Smith can go one on one with Tom in the final fight. IE: he absorbed the Oracle and that somehow gave him a giant power boost. However that still doesn't explain why he decides to only go one on one? He has a giant army at his disposal. So why not use it? Even if only the main Smith is strong enough to survive one on one he can still use the army to distract Tom or wear him down.
shadowspider9 Anger, I think. Also ego. This was the original Smith with a serious grudge against Neo, so him wanting to beat him into the ground himself makes sense. Also because one on one battles are more dramatic.
Because they already saw that he's the one that defeats him so it isn't necessary. He says it right as theyre about to fight, pretty hard to miss, and he's correct right up until the point where the oracle in him fucks him over and affects a choice Neo makes (to keep fighting) or some stupid shit.
If you rip off dragonball and don't include one of them firing a Kamehameha your doing something wrong, in fact why not have smith be Goku and Neo be like superman.
21:30, I wish you cut to that part in Never Ending Story when the little old whatever he was was shouting "He made it" over and over as he rode down and stumbled out of his bucket zip line contraption.
I really think Dark City doesn't get as much love and respect as it should. sure Kiefer Sutherland plays a bit.. off, but then again he probably was subject to a lot of trauma and torture so he would be a bit. off mentally. and I love that Nostalgia Critic refers to it. I hope more people talk about it because I have always raved about it, it's one of my top ten movies
+MikeAlexBillsZ "Becoming" is one thing, it rather feels like the process is complete. Also, given that a driving motivation of two of our main characters is a supposed passionate love and a third is supposed to be driven by faith the lack of emotion in their performances makes it very hard to read that. The only member of the crew that seems to act like he gives a shit is Link and he's basically tech support.
Hah I wish. Sorry but that's coming off as an excuse for bad writing. 1) The film series is so unsubtle and so on-the-nose with their ideas, that if they were doing this on purpose, it would totally be mentioned. 2) Even if it is on purpose, it serves no "purpose" in the actual plot, character progression or thematic construct of the story 3) Whatever purpose there might have been, it's clearly not completed by the end of the film series and serves nothing towards the end goal and thus is just yet another hanging plot thread. To say this was on purpose actually hurts the film series more than helps it.
Whenever I don't like a movie as much its predecessor I just think of the room and movie 43 and fifty shades of grey and think that atleast it had effort put into it.
Michael That's fine. I can respect your opinion. But you have to admit, the acting isn't the best and the effects do look pretty dated. I understand the story, but since the emotionless performances took me away from what its,"philosophies" that they were tryimg to express, it just doesn't work in my opinion. Acting and storytelling have to be comnected and for these movies as they give the story emotion and sense, and these movies don't have it. That's just my opinion though. No harsh feeling towards this trilogy.
Michael Oh, I get what you mean man. I actually thought about that myself when I first watched the Matrix. But I don't know, maybe it's just that for me, emotion is what gives a movie more tension. If it's the movies point to have them be focus and emotionless as they are in a war, that's perfectly fine. If you think the acting and the whole movie in general is great, then go ahead and enjoy man.😉Others and I may find the movie flawed, but there are still great things about it, for me, like it's premise and its action (I'm a sucker for action so yeah). That's just my opinion though.
So many problems with this, but 12:21 "best messiah ever" because he sacrificed Zion for Trinity? That's not what happened. The alternate choice was for Neo to choose 16 females and 7 males to repopulate Zion and the rest would be destroyed. So he actually ends up saving far more because he rebuffed the Architect's choices.
I have a love/hate appreciation of the Nostalgia Critic's review sketches. The programs tend to annoy me greatly because he complains, insults, or makes fun of several aspects that I enjoyed about the movies. Even for some movies that I didn't enjoy or though were just fine shall suffer several of Nostalgia Critic's nearly-unjustified thrashing. On the other hand, some of the moments of the shows are very funny. The Mindy & Buttons routine was hilarious, for example. I hated the way he complained about the Mobil Ave subway stop. However, I never realized the sign was there. Even if I had noticed, I wouldn't have realized it was an anagram for "Limbo." Yes, this program often pisses me off, but I learn things and get a good chuckle now and then. BTW, the machines planned to annihilate Zion, whether Neo returned to the source or not. The architect said, "This will be the SIXTH time we've destoryed Zion." Because Neo chose to save Trinity, it lead to him stopping the war. So that makes Neo an excellent messiah.
Just a thought for how the finale for this movie could have been just as bat-shit crazy as the Smith fight in Reloaded: Tom gets the machines to give him access to all the data from the previous 'Ones', powers included, and they all fight the army of Smiths. Now imagine like a dozen Toms versus a million Smiths.
17:54 as Smith assimilated more programs to his image, he gained more of their respective powers. The Oracle is such an old, powerful program that she literally has God like powers that smith easily took advantage of.
19:40 Smith was using the Oracle's powers to see the future he describes. The Oracle makes him say something she said earlier in the series "Every that has a beginning has an and end, Neo.", which wasn't in the future he saw. Maybe this timeline was the one exception to the rule, idk. (It's kind of obvious to some, but this is just to clear up what was happening there.)
Yes, this is indeed "the worst of the worst". I mean, wow..what a _difficult_ movie to watch. To think that _The Matrix_, a franchise that had so much potential, would end like this. Such a shame.
+Greyghostvol1 That's a funny way to spell "Johnny Mnemonic*" *Shitty movie that knows how silly it is and revels in it, instead of getting all pretentious and up its own ass with pop culture philosophy
kyotheman69 The only dumb thing about these movies is that they believed they could influence the majority to spend a night thinking about something even Plato understood is part of building a society instead of being offended that they "can't understand the big words"
Nostalgia Critic: "Has any anyone ever said 'Let's move with [a] Purpose'... And not gotten a wedgie in highschool?" The US Military: *All raise hands*
I thought the two worst things about this movie were: the kung fu choreography was boring and very simple compared to the first and second films which amazed me and inspired me to research martial arts. The second thing wrong with the movie is that the whole point of Neo in the first one is to eventually destroy the Matrix and set everyone free, and we are told and shown that it's so important it's even ok to kill people in the Matrix for the greater good. I spent years of anticipation and build up for three movies only to see them not deliver in the end. It was just like the show Lost teasing some significance for the numbers, why the "others" were so evil, and why so many people got that weird sickness. They teased us for years so we would come back for each new episode and at the end of the last season they either don't explain it at all, or they just say something lame like "The numbers never meant anything after all. Jacob just has a thing for numbers" You can't promise your audience for years that you will deliver the answer or solution, then end your franchise without a solution.
Hugo Weaving's laugh is perhaps the most emotion any character has ever shown in this entire trilogy.
Or any Wachowski movie.
Greatest moment of the trilogy right there
And it comes from a simulated human, like what
Smith is the real main character in these movies
Sounds like Dr. Evil

I think what the guy meant was that while humans experience love emotionally, A.I can experience it through different means (algorithmical calculations) which lead to the same result - love.

I laughed at "Dumbledore the shit out of that" but then immediately felt bad.
Was a great actor. Too bad her last movie was Reloaded, loved her as the Oracle in those films
I think I know why Neo was having issue fighting that last Smith, while he was kicking the shit out of an army of them. When Smith "hacks" someone he basically just erases their identity and copy/paste his on to their shell. And while the copy's share his personality and knowledge the shell is still the shell. So when smith hacks a bystander the new smith is only a bit stronger then that shell due to smiths knowledge of hand to hand. It's basically an army of inferior copies. But when he hacked the oracle he hacked a very powerful program. So that copy was the superior copy. He even gains the oracle "visions" and why he can fly. That copy is now on the same level as Neo because he infected a MAJOR program
I think you just put more thought into this than both Wachowskis combined
An issue with that is that Neo didn’t fight the Oracle Smith, he fought the main Smith,
@@Shadyboyo Nah it was Oracle Smith, because the Smith he's fighting talks about having seen the future multiple times.
Ofcourse it was the oracle smith big oversight by the reviewer to not understand.

I unapologetically love the entire trilogy, flaws and all lmao.
The final fight with NEO and Agent Smith is still the best live-action DBZ fight put to screen.
At least it’s better than DragonBall Evolution.
smith became more human and neo became more machine like personality wise
+jrhSTYLE a psychotic human maybe, but spot on with Neo, or Tom as i want to label him now
+jrhSTYLE The fuck are you talking about? Neo doesn't have a personality.
+jrhSTYLE That and also Smith has been around longer than Neo. Smith himself has been around since the first version of the matrix and is discrepancy in the system making him the chosen one. So in the movies they were always fighting Smith the chosen one mistaking Neo for the chosen one.
+bakuya99 hmmm interesting point. never thought of it that way
jrhSTYLE If you go to the scene with the architect he pretty much gives it away. Also when they jack out of the matrix they are still in the matrix. The matrix itself is multi layered. The layer they are on gives a false impression that they are jacked out of the matrix when they are pretty much are still in it. All in all the people in the matrix cannot truly log out of it.
I've often wondered why this series never explored the concept of a ghost in the machine. What if their physical body dies, yet their mind refuses to?
Technically that’s what agent smith was! 🤷🏾♂️
7:54 I especially like how those two Smiths on the left look at each other. I can't even explain it, it just fun.
If neo hadn't saved trinity no one would've been able to fly him to the machines home base to stop the machines forever, so yeah he did end up saving more lives in the end.
What the Architect offered was the same thing that was offered to his previous predecessors. The whole attack on Zion is just a script they start to get them to find “The One” so that they can go through it all again to reboot the matrix. They effectively need neo to reboot it.
“Cookies need love like everything does”
I just, I never thought I’d hear Elrond say this ever!😂😂😂
Also 11:20 That is an actor who should play Joker!
Agreed!
The main thing I'm taking out of this review is that I REALLY need to watch Dark City.
Dark City is a great film, but for the love of God, watch the Director's Cut. The theatrical version was a studio-mutilated abortion which was why it didn't do so well.
KashelGladio Thanks for the tip. I generally go for director's cuts if I can, anyway. I know that there are many cases where a perfectly great, refreshing and original story was ruined by studios trying to make something more acceptable for a larger audience and failing badly. It sounds like Dark City was just one more example of that.
James Aggas Agreed. It happens far too often. Kingdom of Heaven, for example, is one of Ridley Scott's best films. But you'd never know that if all you saw was the theatrical cut =(
Dark City is a movie so boring I actually fell asleep halfway through. It only happened once to me before!
Weird film, good film but super weird.
Quick, men! Shoot bullets wildly with no strategy in your shieldless open-cockpit mechs!
"Cookies need love, like everything does"
Nearly choked on my pizza XD
My favourite gag in this entire series is how every time Schmuck appears there's a stage light visible in his sunglasses, just like in _Reloaded_ when they're talking to each other before the multiples fight.
Is it just me or are the videos getting progressively more green? More important question: What does it mean!???????????
*Manic Pixie Fangirl * how stupidly green the movies are

"...I seem to have much more emotion than the human characters." He's got a point.
Smith panicked because the foresight of the oracle was too much for him.
yeah..
He didn't realize some of the oracle's code was unable to be overwritten. He foresaw himself saying something, then realized it made no sense for him to say it, causing him confusion.
It seems like NC sometimes plays ignorant deliberately just to be able to mock something as though it doesn't make sense or because it seems stupid to him. It IS a pretty shit movie, but still..
For comedic value
@@TheSchemer1 to be fair... i didn't realize that's why Smith freaked like that until you guys pointed it out. There may be a logical reason for most of the stuff (plot-wise) in the series, but seriously, The Matrix movies really needed to make it more obvious as to what the plot was instead of prioritizing the symbolism and the gun fights. Like maybe they could've had Smith see the future happen right then, or have him flashing forward to a freed Zion or maybe even he starts talking in The Oracle's voice, or just something to clue us into the fact that the Oracle was still there. Honestly, Critic's got a good reason to mock these movies when most of the plot twists and plot itself is a confusing jumble of words, fighting, and explosions explained/shown to an overstimulated audience in like 6 seconds.
I actually checked out Dark City after this review & I gotta say thank you for bringing it to my attention. It's one of my favorite movies now
I watched all 3 of these reviews back to back and all the green has affected my vision. My walls look yellow now.
Trying to marathon the movies almost made me feel sick when I was a kid lol
@@mutt9779 Physically?
Why can't Neo just punch Agent Smith as easily the second time? Because Smith has the Oracle's power. When Smith absorbs someone, two things happen. 1) He absorbs their power 2) He absorbs their PURPOSE.
*** THIS IS HOW NEO DEFEATS SMITH! ***Between the real world, and the 6 Matrices, Neo is the 7th incarnation of Jesus Christ. As such, his purpose is to 'Die To Save Mankind'. When Smith absorbs him, it becomes the purpose of ALL the Smiths to Die to Save Mankind. And since Smith is the principle threat to mankind.. BOOM, all they can do is self-destruct.
The entire ending fight is a trick by Neo. He knows if he just surrenders to Smith, Smith will sense a trap, and just kill him, and win. He must get Smith to ABSORB him. So he plays the Stupid Hero and tries punching Smith, even though it's obvious that the best his DragonballZ power can do is fighting a single Smith to a standstill, and there's literally a world, if not WORLDS, of Smiths waiting to go next.
At first, Smith is amused. Then Smith is annoyed. Then Smith is ENRAGED! THIS idiot is his arch nemesis? It's making HIM look bad!! He throws cold logic to the winds and goes for the defiling absorption..
Smith gets a warning just before it happens.. a vision from the Oracle that he doesn't understand.. that he's playing right into one of her plans. But then Neo starts moving again, and Smith lashes out.. absorbing him. Neo-Smith smiles back at him in satisfaction.. and suddenly Agent Smith loses all his composure, and whines "Oh NO.. it's NOT FAIR!!" Realization. Checkmate. Chain of exploding Smiths.
Everyone comes back at the end, except for Neo, whose glorious sacrifice has finished his own purpose, and now he no longer exists.
+BlackfootFerret Yeah, I really thought it was pretty brilliant as far as logic and what not went.
+BlackfootFerret the last time I watched it I didn't really get that much from it, even though you're probably right. I think they needed to explain more without explaining
+BlackfootFerret There's a bit of a flaw with your conclusion. The entire reason Smith was a threat was because he no longer followed programming, he just did what he wanted. The Matrix was thrown into chaos because no one was fulfilling their purposes.
It seems more to me that Smith died because he was connected directly to the Matrix's core through Neo. With direct access to Smith, the center of the Matrix could shut him down once and for all.
Of course, symbolically, it's supposed to represent how Jesus became sin, died and took all the sin with him.
+Shady Doorags Do you remember the conversation Neo and Smith have before the massive fight in Movie 2? "We're not here because we're free.. we're here because we're NOT free." Smith is compelled to fight Neo, part of the Oracle's plan. He must still abide by the Purposes he's absorbed. Everything in the Matrix has a purpose, when it losses it, it ceases to exist
+BlackfootFerret
it's amazing how stupid it sounds when explained, that's damn good story telling there! but yes basicly he absorbs her..."power" to justify ripping off all the animes the walchowski's jerked each other off to growing up, the end.
"Move with a purpose" is a common phrase used in the military, or at least Navy branch, in the USAF.
The more you know!
THE ENDING TO THIS!
Geekdom! Whats up bruh
Lol
Yup, you just like these movies ..... *Pointless*
Patrick Allen weiner peiner woo woo poo poo

I've watched Dark City and I agree that it should be seen more. But hearing Nostalgia Ciritic mentioning the film makes me squee even more considering I have a penchant for noir films!
Definitely not the Theatrical version though. Only the Directors Cut. :)
15:00 This is why you don't let the guy who can only see in blurry flames two feet in front of his face drive an aircraft going hundreds of miles per hour
now let's hope it is not taken down this time
Yeah, I hope they don't humiliate themselves even more by taking the video down
ditto
Dunno. Maybe hope he gets lucky?
Hope they realise the dumbass decisions they made before,during and after thr production of their films? Ridiculous writing also
This is a movie review with footages from the film. Therefore everyone has the rights to criticize and give their own opinions on the movie and the company can't just take it down just because he doesn't like it or not, it's his opinion and we like to hear it.
The only Hugo Weaving related thing thing more funny than that cookies line is seeing his face edited onto a troupe of muppets!
"Cookies need love like everything does" - Rex from Babe
Wait, I didn't know Megatron was voiced by Smith.
Azim Alif I didn't either until I watched his review of the last one.
Azim Alif yup only in the first 3 movies though. Once you know you hear it though
I didn't either.
@Iafiv Iv thanks for letting me know hes an actor
Best homage ever. And that's the reason why Dark City is a much better film.
"What do you see?"
"I see a world on fire"
Yeah I was thinking daredevil at that part
Why did they cancel it? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a fire in your heart
@@frenchsoldier8485 awwwwww
I fell into a burning ring of fire
We need a full review of Dark City, seriously.
Great! Now I don't have to watch it with Russian subtitles!
+stardragon01 wait why?
+stardragon01 Carpe diem?
+paul fairweather copyright and all that junk
+paul fairweather Because this was first removed for copyright reasons, we relied mostly on this Russian channel until this came back up.
+Silhouetters I won't have to watch it in French subtitles.
It's depressing that you don't have more subscribers. There is so much work, creativity and intelligence put into each of your episodes.Well done. :)
21:55
"That may be all well and good, but have you considered this: HI A GUN"
Gotta love Nostalgia Critic XD
I've never seen the trilogy and binge-watched the reviews, so that final scene was really nice to see. It was nice to see the three of them happy.
I felt that way to it was like a height of pretentious and trying to to be deep has been lifted.
5:32 - 5:51 Love the Monty Python scene. It made me LOL!
"Cookies need love like everything does. "
"They deserve to choose for themselves"
"Cookies need love like everything does" "They deserve to choose for themselves!" is possibly one of the best exchanges I've ever heard
I love how the Critic never calls him Neo
I actually heard somebody say the phrase "move with purpose" just half an hour after watching these videos. The context was that it was an a&p lecture and the teacher was explaining how connective tissues let us "move with purpose". It was the only other time I ever remember hearing that phrase so I thought it was weird as hell.
Sounds like confirmation bias. You were primed to hear the phrase and disregarded any time you may have heard it in the past as inconsequential.
Paul Smith That's usually what I chalk this sort of thing up to. It's weird how hard we try to convince ourselves that our brains are infallible. Even knowing the cause, I'm inclined to think otherwise.
Right above this is another comment with the same phenomenon lol
I'm gonna shit my fucking pants if I hear someone say it tomorrow lol idgaf how superstitious it makes me lol
@@mutt9779 Dude, I'm probably the first person to take the skeptical approach when it comes to paranormal stuff. But I know EXACTLY what you mean. Shit like this happens to me so often. It used to freak me out, but now it's just so common, it's just like "huh, how about that." But I still try to find some sort of meaning, or connection in events like that. And so far, after at least 10 years of it happening, I've found absolutely no connection or meaning to them. But I KNOW there's something to it. It's not something people would understand unless they've experienced it, but it's just far too perfect for it to be a mere coincidence. I just wish so much that I could find some sort of meaning in it.
Yup! Dark city is really underrated!
It's not underrated. it's just unknown.
Tell that to Zack Synder
He needs to review it.
@@praisemarvel3 Zack Snyder is overrated
So... I hate to bring this up, because I brought it up on a different review of this of yours, but Smith is strong for a reason. Oracle Smith fought Neo.
So he was super strong and could fly and see the future. That's why Hugo Weaving looked stoned off his ass and said "Wait, I've seen this before."
Still a pretty bad movie, but that at least makes sense.
It doesn't change the fact that it's dumb, and could be done better. Idk if what you said was stated in the movie, but if it wasn't, it should be for starters. And at the very least they should add some cool effects so it doesn't seem like a letdown from the previous movie.
Spenser Sowards Wait, Smith could absorb "powers" from its victims? Since when?
"Cookies need love, like everything does."
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN???? I mean, clearly, there's some sort of deep symbolism there that my mind can't comprehend. Has anyone else solved the mysteries of this metaphorical masterpiece?
I know I'm a little bit late (just a little), but that was an answer to oracle's question about little girl. She said those words to her, and then Smith absorbed her, gaining knowledge of those words. In short, that is Smith saying "I've absorbed her"
even more late best guess it's something the she asked about said
11:15 - Doug has the scariest teeth known to man.
Many in the comments have explained why Smith can go one on one with Tom in the final fight. IE: he absorbed the Oracle and that somehow gave him a giant power boost. However that still doesn't explain why he decides to only go one on one?
He has a giant army at his disposal. So why not use it? Even if only the main Smith is strong enough to survive one on one he can still use the army to distract Tom or wear him down.
shadowspider9 Anger, I think. Also ego. This was the original Smith with a serious grudge against Neo, so him wanting to beat him into the ground himself makes sense.
Also because one on one battles are more dramatic.
Because they already saw that he's the one that defeats him so it isn't necessary. He says it right as theyre about to fight, pretty hard to miss, and he's correct right up until the point where the oracle in him fucks him over and affects a choice Neo makes (to keep fighting) or some stupid shit.
If you rip off dragonball and don't include one of them firing a Kamehameha your doing something wrong, in fact why not have smith be Goku and Neo be like superman.
The real answer to all of this
PLOT REASONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Benjamin also I think they already mentioned neo in the last saying that Neo's superman. One of the characters says, "he's doing his superman thing."
16:00 "This is not a drill.".
*giant drill falls out of the walls*
I'm done. 😂
Haha, love the garage scene xD Using Monty Python is always a win...
21:30, I wish you cut to that part in Never Ending Story when the little old whatever he was was shouting "He made it" over and over as he rode down and stumbled out of his bucket zip line contraption.
I really think Dark City doesn't get as much love and respect as it should. sure Kiefer Sutherland plays a bit.. off, but then again he probably was subject to a lot of trauma and torture so he would be a bit. off mentally. and I love that Nostalgia Critic refers to it. I hope more people talk about it because I have always raved about it, it's one of my top ten movies
The humans being like machines, almost emotionless and machines becoming more and more like humans is a strong point of the Matrix. It's on purpose.
+MikeAlexBillsZ "Becoming" is one thing, it rather feels like the process is complete. Also, given that a driving motivation of two of our main characters is a supposed passionate love and a third is supposed to be driven by faith the lack of emotion in their performances makes it very hard to read that. The only member of the crew that seems to act like he gives a shit is Link and he's basically tech support.
+GriffinPilgrim Becoming since the Matrix was created, that's why it feels the process is complete.
MikeAlexBillsZ Well, fair enough. But my other point stands.
MikeAlexBillsZ Shut up meg
Hah I wish. Sorry but that's coming off as an excuse for bad writing.
1) The film series is so unsubtle and so on-the-nose with their ideas, that if they were doing this on purpose, it would totally be mentioned.
2) Even if it is on purpose, it serves no "purpose" in the actual plot, character progression or thematic construct of the story
3) Whatever purpose there might have been, it's clearly not completed by the end of the film series and serves nothing towards the end goal and thus is just yet another hanging plot thread.
To say this was on purpose actually hurts the film series more than helps it.
Matrix 1: Good movie (7/10)
Matrix Reloaded: Bad with great action scènes (5/10)
Matrix Révolutions: Bad with a ''fine'' climax action scene (3/10)
Whenever I don't like a movie as much its predecessor I just think of the room and movie 43 and fifty shades of grey and think that atleast it had effort put into it.

Michael That's fine. I can respect your opinion. But you have to admit, the acting isn't the best and the effects do look pretty dated. I understand the story, but since the emotionless performances took me away from what its,"philosophies" that they were tryimg to express, it just doesn't work in my opinion. Acting and storytelling have to be comnected and for these movies as they give the story emotion and sense, and these movies don't have it. That's just my opinion though. No harsh feeling towards this trilogy.
Michael Oh, I get what you mean man. I actually thought about that myself when I first watched the Matrix. But I don't know, maybe it's just that for me, emotion is what gives a movie more tension. If it's the movies point to have them be focus and emotionless as they are in a war, that's perfectly fine. If you think the acting and the whole movie in general is great, then go ahead and enjoy man.😉Others and I may find the movie flawed, but there are still great things about it, for me, like it's premise and its action (I'm a sucker for action so yeah). That's just my opinion though.
Matrix is at best "pitifully average," not good.
The insane action and crazy philosophy just reminds me of Metal Gear Solid.
2:55 move with a Purpose is a VERY common military saying
8:05 not gonna lie but that was not a V for Vendetta movie and really a serial killer movie, that line would work at being unnerving and creepy.
Nothing amuses me more than The Critic tackling things I used to love so much.
So many problems with this, but 12:21 "best messiah ever" because he sacrificed Zion for Trinity? That's not what happened. The alternate choice was for Neo to choose 16 females and 7 males to repopulate Zion and the rest would be destroyed. So he actually ends up saving far more because he rebuffed the Architect's choices.
if you pause the video at 23:52 you end up with a poster for one hell of a comedy
20:24 Somehow Doug came up with a funnier laugh than Hugo weaving's.
I have a love/hate appreciation of the Nostalgia Critic's review sketches. The programs tend to annoy me greatly because he complains, insults, or makes fun of several aspects that I enjoyed about the movies. Even for some movies that I didn't enjoy or though were just fine shall suffer several of Nostalgia Critic's nearly-unjustified thrashing. On the other hand, some of the moments of the shows are very funny. The Mindy & Buttons routine was hilarious, for example. I hated the way he complained about the Mobil Ave subway stop. However, I never realized the sign was there. Even if I had noticed, I wouldn't have realized it was an anagram for "Limbo."
Yes, this program often pisses me off, but I learn things and get a good chuckle now and then.
BTW, the machines planned to annihilate Zion, whether Neo returned to the source or not. The architect said, "This will be the SIXTH time we've destoryed Zion." Because Neo chose to save Trinity, it lead to him stopping the war. So that makes Neo an excellent messiah.
Just a thought for how the finale for this movie could have been just as bat-shit crazy as the Smith fight in Reloaded: Tom gets the machines to give him access to all the data from the previous 'Ones', powers included, and they all fight the army of Smiths. Now imagine like a dozen Toms versus a million Smiths.
Sounds similar to a fight scene from Braveheart.
17:54 as Smith assimilated more programs to his image, he gained more of their respective powers. The Oracle is such an old, powerful program that she literally has God like powers that smith easily took advantage of.
The best part of this whole trilogy was agent Smith.
I know he is, I’ve seen him. That’s why the rest of us are just going to enjoy the show, and we already know that he’s the one that beats Neo.
Cookies need love like everything does.

3:20 without the sarcasm, i totally missed this.

+Kiki Kyami Did you like it?
Same here! Thanks to the Critic, I now have a new favorite movie.
YES! I looooved it. I liked it better then The Matrix in fact. If you havent seen it yet, you totally should! It deserves a bigger cult-following.
Kiki Kyami I'll check it out.
Laura Wanco Cool! If you feel like it, tell me what you thought about it? :) Have fun!
5:32 My new favorite moment in NC history.
19:40 Smith was using the Oracle's powers to see the future he describes. The Oracle makes him say something she said earlier in the series "Every that has a beginning has an and end, Neo.", which wasn't in the future he saw. Maybe this timeline was the one exception to the rule, idk. (It's kind of obvious to some, but this is just to clear up what was happening there.)
After watching Dark City, the ending of this makes so much more sense.
Go watch it folks, fantastic movie, I like it more than the matrix now.
Yes, this is indeed "the worst of the worst".
I mean, wow..what a _difficult_ movie to watch. To think that _The Matrix_, a franchise that had so much potential, would end like this. Such a shame.

obviously one needs an iq of 200 to get just a basic understaanding of the matrix 😆
kyotheman69 The only dumb thing about these movies is that they believed they could influence the majority to spend a night thinking about something even Plato understood is part of building a society instead of being offended that they "can't understand the big words"

Nostalgia Critic: "Has any anyone ever said 'Let's move with [a] Purpose'... And not gotten a wedgie in highschool?"
The US Military: *All raise hands*
I thought the two worst things about this movie were: the kung fu choreography was boring and very simple compared to the first and second films which amazed me and inspired me to research martial arts. The second thing wrong with the movie is that the whole point of Neo in the first one is to eventually destroy the Matrix and set everyone free, and we are told and shown that it's so important it's even ok to kill people in the Matrix for the greater good. I spent years of anticipation and build up for three movies only to see them not deliver in the end. It was just like the show Lost teasing some significance for the numbers, why the "others" were so evil, and why so many people got that weird sickness. They teased us for years so we would come back for each new episode and at the end of the last season they either don't explain it at all, or they just say something lame like "The numbers never meant anything after all. Jacob just has a thing for numbers" You can't promise your audience for years that you will deliver the answer or solution, then end your franchise without a solution.
