Smith: I'm a new man. Neo: Congratulations. Smith: Thank you the fact they are more polite to each other than most "best friends" is kind of concerning
@@alexanderparker2219 exactly! Smith gives the best speeches of any villain (or hero) I've ever seen in a movie, that "Purpose" speech just made me shiver
I love how they're so respectful, even though they're each other's nemesis. Smith: “I'm a new man, so to speak” Neo: “Congratulations.” Smith: “Thank you.”
"I killed you, Mr. Anderson. I watched you die. With a certain satisfaction, I might add." Man, I love Hugo Weaving. He delivers those lines perfectly.
" BUT then something happened. Something that I knew was impossible but it happened anyway. You destroyed me Mr. Anderson. Afterwards I knew the rules, I understood what I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I couldn't. I was compelled to stay. Compelled to disobey"

The thing I love about this fight, is that so often in Martial Arts movies when your fighting multiple guys, is that they all "take turns" so your really fighting one on one. But in this it looks like a true mob attack. Neo is hit from multiple sides, often grappled by one while another is punching him, etc. Its really creative and very rarely replicated even today.
i love this movie but the "taking turns" thing you talked about is in full effect here lol. Still great though. Can't imagine how much work, time and effort went into crafting just this sequence of the movie.
@@Pingaheimer I think they simply mean they don't do the attacking one at a time thing. Only so many people you can have at once before the choreography melts into a dog pile 😂
My favorite part of this subversion is that instead of a bunch of guys fighting one on one, it's one guy fighting the hero a bunch of times at once lol.
This is what happens when you give good or great dialogue to an exemplary actor. 🙂 Just think of Bryan Cranston with the BB series, or Harrison Ford with almost anything he's done. The only issue is when a good or average actor has to deliver GARBAGE writing. Nothing can repair that situation.
No-one could ever replace the delivery Hugo Weaving brings to this character. That cold, conniving and calculative behavior is something many can have but nothing as unique as his.
He wanted to come back and they didn’t wait for him. How can a director be so misguided. I mean they made him more relevant in the trilogy because Hugo was so good . They didn’t write smith to be there way Hugo made him. You don’t simply replace that actor. Just like you don’t replace Lawrence . They had so much weight to their delivery . Like they newer smith yells mr . Anderson . Hugo would have said it with restraint and a chilling delivery . He doesn’t need it tell much because he communicates all his frustration in a multifaceted way . He just delivers lines so well. How could anyone take that opportunity to have him back and throw it out the window
no one ever talks about how Hugo Weaving is so fucking good in these movies - cant imagine how hard it would be to play that kind of role so seriously and make it work as well as he did
What's interesting is that during this scene there's other gangs of "Smith Viruses" all over the Matrix world causing chaos, assimilating blue pills, and slowly snowballing out of control. Like in this clip regular Agents of the system are going to notice this and will have no choice but to take over blue pill bodies to try and stop him, getting assimilated themselves in the process. I'd love to see the unseen massive global battle that took place between Smith and the Machines with blue pill military support over the course of the 2 sequel films, watching as the Machines/blue pill armies slowly start to lose control to Smith and not knowing what to do... until Neo breaks into 01 with a deal.
Yeah , Neo is the virus to him and Smith is the virus to Neo. They’re both different sides of the same coin that need each other’s existence. That’s the purpose that drives them into each other.
HERE IS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here's a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, ”Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” if you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called H***. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God's law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: ”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you!
false, there were a few stunts, you can slow the video so you can see some of the faces are different, specially those who Keanu had to interact with, 3:21, even Neo is a stunt at 3:57
@@jennaschwinna2347 a poor joke, Hugo did play a lot of his copies and then was superimpossed into the scene multiple times, it is a great scene, but the joke wasnt ;)
When you compare this to super hero movies of the same time, and even some more recently, there still is no comparison. I was stationed in Ankara, Turkey when this Revolutions came out, the audience went crazy over these scenes. I watched both several times in the theater. Obviously watching them today lol.
The effects on this part of the fight were/are very good. It's when they move to the completely digital figures where it breaks down. That applied even when the movie first released.
One thing about this fight, the background Smithies don't just stand idle, they actually attack unlike other action movies the background people just stand around waiting for their turn... love it
Something I love about this fight is that it's not one of those typical one vs many fights where the bad guys attack one at a time. They're ALL attack whenever they have a clear shot. Which just makes Neo's skill all the more impressive. He's not just reacting to one at a time, he's reacting to all of them at once.
Completly agree. As you said it is a common problem in fight-scenes for bad guys just stand there and wait for their turn, here they dont. Telegraphed moves ofc but still thats why this scene is so good, just unfortunate with the dated cgi.
regardness of all the malice they have for eachother and desire to delete the other, manners make’eth man, manners cost nothing, momma always told me to be polite 😂
@@pokeme1052 What majority of people don't realise is that the cartoonish CGI is made on purpose, to let you remember that all this is happening in the Matrix, the entire trilogy have probably one of the best CGI ever made, just look at the car chase, there will be no reason to make it so cartoonish if not on purpose, same goes with the new trailer of Matrix Resurrections, when opening sequence shows the city, it's purposefully made to look "fake" because Matrix is not real.
I enjoyed Resurrections, but I felt that one of the biggest flaws was recasting Smith. They handled the replacement of Morpheus well (justified him being different), but Smith didn't act anything like Smith. It's not just a matter of not copying the exact mannerisms (like the other actor did in Revolutions), but everything about the attitude and characterization was just so different that it never read as the same character. My first preference would have been to keep Hugo Weaving (de-age him if you must, they can do that very effectively these days), or at least have the new actor try to sell him being the same character.
@@guspaz it sort of makes sense that smith didn't initially act anything like Hugo Weaving bc if the analyst put Neo close to old school smith he would have figured everything out right away (that said idk why they made smith his partner)
I really liked Resurrections, but I have to agree.Jonathan Groff did a good job, but it wasn't as intense and hateful as Hugo Weaving, he lacks that... air about him, that he is two seconds away from bursting of pure rage and killing everything around him.
The dialogue, intonations, facial expressions, and music for this scene really sync so well. Two points in particular I like are how Neo delivers "congratulations" to Agent Smith and when Agent Smith says "but" as the music hits a crescendo and then shifts to a more deliberate note as Smith steps forward calmly, purposefully.
I love the way Smith sometimes rhymes or almost-rhymes his words, it gives this speech a lyrical quality. "I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey…" "That guides us, that drives us. It is purpose that defines. Purpose that binds us."
I feel like this trait was Smith kinda experimenting with different wording to try and define himself as different. He clearly sees a difference between himself and other agents (I believe he was intentionally made this way) and it seems he has privately turned to poetry to keep himself sane. He uses self harm as a similar coping mechanism (well, not similar, but the same logic) when he possesses Bane and is overwhelmed and disgusted by his new sensations
@@VeritaForYou Not about acting - almost anyone can act. It's about oration - conscious articulation and pacing, not just _pretending_ and _saying_ the lines but actually _expressing_ and _speaking_ them. The best actors have these (and other) skills, but most actors don't.
There’s actually an underlying discussion of free-will vs causality. Smith is indicating he is aware of his (and Neo’s) compulsion to follow seemingly preordained events. This is mostly true because similar events occurred in previous versions of the matrix. Smith and the Merovingian believe in causality and Neo believes in free will. This isn’t a bad line, it’s a simple way of conveying that concept.
It's a semi-cheesy homage to the trope of grand villain entrances, but it works for these films and Smith in particular because they embrace a small amount of cheese. Newer action movies are so fucking dry and dour 100% of the time, but that wasn't always the case. James Cameron poured a lot of cheese into his action flicks and that's why they're so good.
Matrix: "Agent Smith is such an awesome villain. It's a shame he's gone." Matrix Reloaded: (CTRL C, CTRL V x10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000)
And Neo knows that Smith is NOT "a person". It is some kind of... algorithmic plague. He wasn't surprised to see one version of the program... but 120+? Very surprising so soon. #Mutations
@@Novastar.SaberCombat Smith *is* him. Agents "absorb" some of the code of the things they kill, because their job is to track down anomalies - so they're hoping to absorb stuff like knowledge on resistance hideouts. Neo is just SUCH an anomaly that the code Smith absorbed gave him, for lack of a better work, humanity. That's the connection, and you can see it visually. In the Matrix, everything fake is tinted green, while humans are naturally coloured - Neo's suit, for example, is actually black once he embraces his role as The One, as with Trinity and Morpehus' outfits once they become stronger in later movies. Smith stops being green-tinted once he absorbs Neo. Because Smith has become human.
I love Smith's character development. He was an emotionless machine from the first and here he's start to talk like a real person with a little sarcasm to him
Arismafia Mafiaiskandar Only he wasn’t emotionless in the first one... Unlike the rest of the agents that were just doing what they were programmed for, he truly and deeply hated humans, especially Neo. The scene where he keeps torturing Morpheus and the way he takes off his head piece, signifying that he wasn’t taking orders any more, is proof of this. He even makes a speech about why he hates them. It’s what really sets him apart from other agents. It’s why he didn’t die when Neo tried to destroy him. Any other agent would have been erased permanently, but smith was an anomaly among agents. Because of this he went on to become a virus in the matrix itself after Neo attempted to end him.
He certainly was not emotionless. He had a strong hatred of humans from the beginning. The only thing that changed was his freedom and abilities; his character traits are actually relatively stagnant. Still a great villain.
i dunno why this film didnt get better reviews. this whole fight scene was super impressive. Look how many takes Hugo Weaving had to do for each second. Look at how there's long takes on Keanu Reeves' moves, and no shakey cam. It's mindblowingly hard work.
@ that and alot of actors don't do their own stunts, when an actor does their own stunts , then the fights can be better and the viewer is more immersed
The Hong Kong action cinematography style only works if the actor knows how to movie fight and look good. If they suck then you get Taken style and Bourne style editing. I don’t even think those actors in those movies were that bad but it more forgiving then this style.
The movie is occult symbolism like most of Hollywood's shite, it's not meant to be logical. Smith represents Jesus which is why he starts converting people on mass after his crucifixion. You'll notice that when Smith/Jesus is killed by Neo, neo forms his body into a spear and Smith adopts a cruciform pose as he's killed.
i remember being in complete awe at this fight when i seen it at the age of 13. Matrix coreogrophy is still some of the best to this day. aint no Marvel movie having fights like this dude.
People who are saying the CGI is bad, don't really understand just how impressive this was for 2003. There's so much more happening than meets the eye.
Wow look at that: actual choreography showing a cohesive and coherent fight scene instead of using jump cuts every half second with loud noises and flashes that are impossible to comprehend.
@@samtrotter7177 Yeah, true. Even though I like the first half of this fight scene, Neo looks like he's merely slapping them which makes the agents go flying. His fists don't even look clenched most of the time which detracts from the scene. I still like it though.
@@samtrotter7177 I feel like the subway fight in the original had real weight to it. The sequels just felt like sparring. Can't really blame them when you see the CGI in the second half of this scene. They had to use real dudes as much as possible and nobody wants to be the one to bruise Keanu's money maker haha.
I love how they don't really attack one at a time, noone is standing around waiting for their turn like is usually the case in fight scenes with multiple opponents
which is great and fits perfectly since it's just copies of the same person so they don't have to worry about "friendly fire" and they're just clones so they're easily expendable. you can tell they wanted to highlight the more realistic side of "getting jumped" by the scene at 2:07 of the overhead shot of 4 Smiths attacking at once leading Neo to the other 2 that grabbed him
I love Smith's little smirk at 1:44, like he's proud of obtaining the "freedom" he so desperately wanted. Hugo Weaving nailed every single small detail in the facial expressions for this scene.
@@captainseyepatch3879 Makes sense, nothing can ruin his moment since he has attained something no agent ever has. And the fact that a human acknowledged his sentience only further vindicated him.
In the theatre, the closer Smith got to Neo, the more the audience got exicted lol. At this part 1:49 I actually heard some guy in the audience whisper "awww shit here we go" all amped up lol.
Can we agree Agent Smith's entrance with the crows is the most bad ass villain entrance. I mean you see Thanos come through and you're like "Oh shit" or Darth Vader enters and you get chills. But this here, you see Agent Smith and you're like "there I saw. Death has arrived".
Yes, I completely agree HiprVylan 505. I see it to. The filming here is amazing and brings a chill down the spine. Smith walking toward the camera as the crows caw and fly into the camera. It feels like a pivotal moment for an incredible character. Just brilliant
Never gets old i still come on here just to watch this fight scene Hugo Weaving's delivery is top notch acting All in all everyone played their parts like the professionals that they are.
Back when this was released it received undeserved criticism, now it looks like a masterpiece. Effects may be outdated but the choreography is master class.
The effects don't seem outdated at all. Even Star Wars (1977) looks better than tons of overdone, over-saturated, overused CGI festivals. Legitimate filmmaking knows when the acting, dialogue, and close-ups do the heavy lifting. Also, Reeves obviously worked BEYOND hard on being precise with the actions the choreographer (Yuen Wo-Ping) required. Trust me, I understand... I choreographed and performed LIVE fight work for two decades. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
@@tarikay93 There are still pretty great overall. The ambition of having hundreds of smiths fight Neo would be a big task today. In the early 2000's it was crazy. The practical stuff with the lookalikes and blurring works better than the cg of course but they wanted to push the fight even further which required CG. It didn't even look fantastic at the time but it's still a very impressive set piece. This is one of the best action sci fi movies ever made. The first matrix is still a better overall movie but the action in this movie is among the best ever made.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat funny, because I think modern movies look grey and UNDERsaturated. All the color that was present in the 80-s and 90-s movies is gone from most modern ones. Just compare how bright the colors look in the Avengers: Infinity War trailer and in the actual movie. It's like they applied 20 different filters on the originally bright and colorful image.
One thing I love about Neo in this scene: When the fighting begins he’s unready and panicking, but after a while he gains his concentration back so can kick the living shit out of Smith
he was overwhelmed by Smith's new power and didn't want to get caught again. Notice how Smith kept putting open hands on him because he was trying to hold him down to "possess" him. Once Neo got compose, Smith started straight up striking closed fist and going for full body grabs instead of holding his limbs down
4:35 I love the subtle details between the agent and Smith. The green tint is gone, obviously the earpiece, and the corners of his sunglasses now have more edges (almost octagon instead of the square shape). Literally having more sides to him added in the program. Breaking the status quo.
Then they need to clone your white blood cells and send them to taiwan. I was restricted to fly into the Philippines to meet my fiance. The Chinese need to stop eating rats. WTH!
00:51 - I like how Agent Smith says that he “killed” Neo and than he says that he himself was “destroyed” because he knows he is a computer program and not alive. It’s the small details that makes these Matrix movies so great.
Kind of like when you corrupt a file and have to delete it. That's what Neo did to him in 1 But Smith found his way out of the recycle bin and discovered CTRL C 😄
Hes aware hes not human but hes definitely alive in the sense that he has free will to do as he pleases after neo alters his code. In the first movie he shows that he isn't like the other agent programs. Dropping the mask when he is alone with Morpheus. Not only is smith aware of the matrix, he has is own opinion of it, calling it a Zoo, As well as describing the SMELL. Showing human emotions such as disgust and hatred for the human race, along with the machines who put him there. Funny enough, you could say he is the least crazy in the whole series. Makes you wonder.. at what point is AI, alive. Ps. i love hugo's acting @ 1:37, a little glimmer of smith being humorous when he calls himself a new man. Breaking from his speech pattern for only a moment.
Life is ? This story had plenty of uniqueness, this mix of combining programming with existentialism was still quite new. There was good acting like Hugo’s, and there was good action. And people’s precious practical effects often look goofy and ridiculous too, particularly with living beings. But as for your rant about America, most of the practical effect movies are from there too.
I love how professional they are towards each other. In a way very refreshing. It's abundantly clear subliminally that they each despise each other and wants to see the other destroyed. However, they both maintain dignity and show one another dare I say "respect". As opposed to better enemies and some other films that are practically cursing each other out.
When I was a kid I was convinced that this scene was awesome, but part of me felt sad when I discover that much fans hated it. Now with the actions scenes from resurrections we both can assure that this is a masterpiece :D
People like to find all sorts of ways to hate on things for no reason. All the while they sit in their basements eating chips and not producing something even 100th as good as this
You see it less in scenes where multiple attackers are all "different" people. A real attacker in a group isn't going to want to get friendly fired by his buddies. The one at a time thing is actually realistic human behavior, in a way. I immediately noticed that these Mr Smiths fought differently. Of course they're not going to care about getting hit by another Mr. Smith. Genius detail.
Keanu loves training for these scenes for months. He does everything with passion and dedication to his craft. How lucky are we to be part of these scenes. Kudos to Keanu and all the fabulous actors on Matrix reloaded.
It's a bit less complicated than theory that other youtubers are trying to say. I'll try to explain it as i can. Sorry for my shitty english. So, get ready.. here we go.. Only 4 person in this world knows about matrix versions - Architect, Oracle, Smith, Merov. Architector and Oracle are not connected to the mainfraim of matrix which is why they know it's a 6th version of Zion (yes, Zion is the Matrix as well) and 6th version of Neo and Smith. So everytime Matrix reloads, they know each one matrix version from start to end. The whole plot of Matrix happened because Architector couldn't find the best way to fix a problem of choice in order to stabilize Matrix, so in order to shake things a bit, Oracle created anomaly. Architect will figure this out only at the end of third film. "You are playing dangerous game" (c) Architector In theirs 6th meeting Architector specifically said to Neo (in a programm language btw), that he (NEO) is the result (created because of) of anomaly, which he can't comprehend entirely and can't deal with (with anomaly). This anomaly is the programm - Smith. He was created by Oracle in order to force Architect hand, so he would create the ONE(essentially.. antivirus with admin access). He didn't specify the anomaly, because he don't know what it is. The anomaly is not connected to mainfraim (Architector can't see it), which mean - machines can't do shit about it. He is invincible and invisible to them, they can't delete him, they can't do anything to him. Unkillable virus. Neo was manipulated by Oracle in order to encounter Smith, while Smith was supposed to encounter the ONE in order to be rewrited by him to get admin access to the matrix without connecting to the mainframe. This created a threat to matrix, because Smith can now destroy it. Architect created Neo with such admin access (power of the ONE we see in the movie) in order for him to eventually fix the anomaly. But he never knew that Oracle manipulated them both and she is the one responsible for love interest of Neo. Her plan was to create the best situation, in which machines will have to get help from Human, in order to get their hands on anomaly and kill it - saving matrix. And by that machines and humans will be forced to achieve peace. That's what you see in the end. A human made a deal with a machines, to sacraficed himself so machines could destroy anomaly, save matrix and free everyone by ending war. The prophecy was never real, it was created to manipulate and confuse everyone (including viewers). Oracle knew that Neo have admin acces, because he was created by Architect to fix anomaly that she created. So she manipulated him in a way, that would allow to Smith get this blessing power of complete access to matrix after theirs final encounter. And that's why Smith could destroy the matrix. She manipulated everyone starting with Architector himself. To achieve peace. It's really that easy.
@@MrZlocktar It makes sense,but i don't understand something. Smith is the anomaly,the virus,and Neo is cure. But Smith when he turns Neo into a Smith clone,he corrupted the cure and due to the fact that he couldn't handle it,he explode and killing himself My lack of understanding is this: When neo first cures smith is in the end of the first one Why did Smith survive and still was corrupted or was the anomaly,if he was cured in a way by neo in the first one?
@@Chanunaitor01 In the first film Smith was disconnected from mainfraime but has no administration access to matrix to copy or overwrite anything. The last encounter with Neo is what gave him this access. In the ending, When Smith overwrites Neo into another Smith, he connects himself back to matrix mainframe (because Neo entered matrix from it's mainframe), so system can now find him and delete for good. And that's exactly what Neo and machines were agree on to achieve peace. That's what happened when entire matrix of Smiths reloads in the ending scene.
Dude, these fights between Keanu Reeves and Hugo Weaving are probably some of the best in cinematic history. Not to take anything away from Keanu Reeves, but Hugo Weaving’s delivery of dialogue as Agent Smith is chilling. Such an iconic villain. Love all 3 movies.
The first part of this action sequence is fucking incredible and deserves the millions of views. From the acting, dialogue, musical score and choreography. The whole Matrix trilogy is master class. Audiences weren't ready for this when it was first released.
The bar that Matrix movies set for these kinds of fights are simply at another level.A level that is way above any of the movies that came before these and arguably better than many movies that released after the time period.
@TAJtvproduction Dude...your commenting about slavery, Aryan supremacy and Nazi's on a video a showing a fight scene in the matrix. You either have a problem or your drunk (or both).
@TAJtvproduction it's not relatable because the matrix is run by 'machines', you know, robots and such, who and this might be hard for your mind to understand, take the 'form' of people from 1990's Chicago, thus, they will, very likely be white. Also, who the hell uses the word 'Aryan' anymore, your a few hundred years behind the times my guy.
1:38 I like how his speech is not consistent, before he was connected to the matrix so he had perfect speech. But now, his programming is re learning how to speak properly.
I interpreted the questionable CGI as the Matrix not being able to properly process the amount of commotion going on. The fabric of space and time was literally beginning to degrade because of how many virus Agent Smiths there were in this one small location, like a steadily increasing amount of glitches that are pooling in one chunk of the generated terrain.
It's funny how the CGI on quite a few 2000's movies somehow dwarfs most of the CGI used in current movies. It's like, they had less resources, but knew how to use them.
1:10 - 1:43 gives me shivers every time.... his emphasis on certain words, voice tone, pauses, his facial expressions... everything simply outstanding! agent smith was the first villian i saw in movies that i was really scared of. he nailed it so hard to make it look/sound like a machine which is trying to show/mimic human emotion. my personal best villian of all time!
I feel like this scene in particular really shows smiths hatred for neo , smith got what he wanted in the first film, to be free of the matrix but not on his terms , Smith came back for the sole purpose of revenge against the one person who took his "purpose" from him...I'd like to compare it to an undefeated boxer about to retire and loses a fight...now he just wants to get back at the person who beat him ..retiring is off the table now .
What did he mean by "I knew the rules" when he was killed, did that kill his avatar/body? Or did he realize that he was still alive (his software) and that he should not be and had to be deleted?
@@Cerberusx32 yeah he was meant to be gone but I think neo bugged him out instead.. so he's now like stuck in limbo.. he became a virus like file and starts copying himself onto whatever he can
You kids gotta understand something. In the early 2000s,we had dial-up internet and there was only 1 or 2 trailers out for this movie. The anticipation this sequel was crazy. I was 14 in 2004 when I finally watched the vhs at my aunts house. When Neo stopped himself from being assimilated and the beat dropped (called "Burly Brawl"btw) my jaw was on the floor before I started marking out. This was the greatest scene i had ever seen up to that point.. Cgi was still new to us and seeing neo hopelessly fighting all those Smiths was a sight to behold for 14 year old me. Matrix revolutions just didn't have the same feeling neither did the ps2 game when I got to this scene

To quote another 90s classic: “Both…both are good…”
Right!!?!!
The thing I love about this fight, is that so often in Martial Arts movies when your fighting multiple guys, is that they all "take turns" so your really fighting one on one. But in this it looks like a true mob attack. Neo is hit from multiple sides, often grappled by one while another is punching him, etc. Its really creative and very rarely replicated even today.
i love this movie but the "taking turns" thing you talked about is in full effect here lol. Still great though. Can't imagine how much work, time and effort went into crafting just this sequence of the movie.
@@Pingaheimer I think they simply mean they don't do the attacking one at a time thing. Only so many people you can have at once before the choreography melts into a dog pile 😂
I think it all comes down to camera angles. When done properly they look more convincing.
My favorite part of this subversion is that instead of a bunch of guys fighting one on one, it's one guy fighting the hero a bunch of times at once lol.
And neo whipped them all lol
"We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free."
Weaving delivers that line so perfectly.
This is what happens when you give good or great dialogue to an exemplary actor. 🙂 Just think of Bryan Cranston with the BB series, or Harrison Ford with almost anything he's done. The only issue is when a good or average actor has to deliver GARBAGE writing. Nothing can repair that situation.

No-one could ever replace the delivery Hugo Weaving brings to this character. That cold, conniving and calculative behavior is something many can have but nothing as unique as his.
Sounds like he's thinking about every word as he says them, lol
Yep. I give you Matrix Resurrections as proof of this.
Even though I liked Resurrections, yeah, Smith just didn’t bring the same energy as before, but at least some of that fit the narrative
The T-1000 got there first in terminator 2 😉
He wanted to come back and they didn’t wait for him.
How can a director be so misguided. I mean they made him more relevant in the trilogy because Hugo was so good . They didn’t write smith to be there way Hugo made him.
You don’t simply replace that actor. Just like you don’t replace Lawrence .
They had so much weight to their delivery . Like they newer smith yells mr . Anderson . Hugo would have said it with restraint and a chilling delivery . He doesn’t need it tell much because he communicates all his frustration in a multifaceted way . He just delivers lines so well.
How could anyone take that opportunity to have him back and throw it out the window
I am so upset Hugo Weavings never got a role in a John Wick movie
Can you imagine?
“Mr Wick, did you miss me?”
😮😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂yep.
The Internet would melt down if that happened.
It's never too late.
Just a quick cameo would be awesome too like he is an old johh wick nemesis
I'm annoyed they didn't delay Matrix Resurrections until he was available.
no one ever talks about how Hugo Weaving is so fucking good in these movies - cant imagine how hard it would be to play that kind of role so seriously and make it work as well as he did

Smith in the Matrix: "Humanity is a virus"
Smith in the Matrix 2: is the virus
Psychological projection. Even sentient computer programs have it apparently.
What's interesting is that during this scene there's other gangs of "Smith Viruses" all over the Matrix world causing chaos, assimilating blue pills, and slowly snowballing out of control. Like in this clip regular Agents of the system are going to notice this and will have no choice but to take over blue pill bodies to try and stop him, getting assimilated themselves in the process. I'd love to see the unseen massive global battle that took place between Smith and the Machines with blue pill military support over the course of the 2 sequel films, watching as the Machines/blue pill armies slowly start to lose control to Smith and not knowing what to do... until Neo breaks into 01 with a deal.
Well that’s the point smith is AI he thinks he’s doing the right thing but he’s broke out his programming so there’s basically no stopping him
Neo in all films: Would have been a lot easier if he studied ancient Greek philosophy.
All three films are a story about Plato's cave basically.
Yeah , Neo is the virus to him and Smith is the virus to Neo. They’re both different sides of the same coin that need each other’s existence. That’s the purpose that drives them into each other.
In this scene, Smith represents Microsoft Edge: you delete it and the next day it reappears like nothing happened.
HERE IS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here's a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, ”Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” if you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called H***. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God's law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: ”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you!

When you compare this to super hero movies of the same time, and even some more recently, there still is no comparison. I was stationed in Ankara, Turkey when this Revolutions came out, the audience went crazy over these scenes. I watched both several times in the theater. Obviously watching them today lol.
The effects on this part of the fight were/are very good. It's when they move to the completely digital figures where it breaks down. That applied even when the movie first released.

Something I love about this fight is that it's not one of those typical one vs many fights where the bad guys attack one at a time. They're ALL attack whenever they have a clear shot. Which just makes Neo's skill all the more impressive. He's not just reacting to one at a time, he's reacting to all of them at once.
I could actually see one of them coming for a punch but then just waiting to get punch himself. It is still as good as it gets for the date, though.
Completly agree. As you said it is a common problem in fight-scenes for bad guys just stand there and wait for their turn, here they dont. Telegraphed moves ofc but still thats why this scene is so good, just unfortunate with the dated cgi.

The agent smiths....All of them
Hugo Weaving is nails every role they give him. He's one of the most talented actors out there, for real.
My favorite scene from Reloaded. Hugo Weaving made me feel very disatisfied with the new Matrix Ressurections. He played this part way too good!
He is an awesome actor! Same for Fishburn as well! Shame resurrections could've been alot better with those actors!
I enjoyed Resurrections, but I felt that one of the biggest flaws was recasting Smith. They handled the replacement of Morpheus well (justified him being different), but Smith didn't act anything like Smith. It's not just a matter of not copying the exact mannerisms (like the other actor did in Revolutions), but everything about the attitude and characterization was just so different that it never read as the same character. My first preference would have been to keep Hugo Weaving (de-age him if you must, they can do that very effectively these days), or at least have the new actor try to sell him being the same character.
@@guspaz it sort of makes sense that smith didn't initially act anything like Hugo Weaving bc if the analyst put Neo close to old school smith he would have figured everything out right away (that said idk why they made smith his partner)
@@guspaz Weaving didn't join Ressurections because of agenda conflict, he was making a broadway play at the time Resurrection was being made.
I really liked Resurrections, but I have to agree.Jonathan Groff did a good job, but it wasn't as intense and hateful as Hugo Weaving, he lacks that... air about him, that he is two seconds away from bursting of pure rage and killing everything around him.
The dialogue, intonations, facial expressions, and music for this scene really sync so well. Two points in particular I like are how Neo delivers "congratulations" to Agent Smith and when Agent Smith says "but" as the music hits a crescendo and then shifts to a more deliberate note as Smith steps forward calmly, purposefully.
Lmao the white screen through agent Smith glasses gets me every time 🤣
Bruh 3 days
It is purpose that drives us
Interestingly the dialogue amplified what the Creator said to Neo later on
The movie wayyyyy better than the matrix ressurections. Its a shithole
Hugo Weaving forehead is more expressive than most actors
Lmaooo
More expensive too
You nice
it's called "widow's peak"
Wait thats his name 🤣
Hugo Weaving should've gotten an oscar for this. His deliver was way too perfect, almost scary
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the way Smith sometimes rhymes or almost-rhymes his words, it gives this speech a lyrical quality. "I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey…" "That guides us, that drives us. It is purpose that defines. Purpose that binds us."
He was PERFECT for V for Vendetta for this.
@@Mr__Geno he was really cool in that.
Honestly glad someone else pointed that out, it’s lines like those that I often recite when I’m bored just because of how it sounds
"I must get...OUT of here... I must get FREE... and in this mind, is the key... my key..."
I feel like this trait was Smith kinda experimenting with different wording to try and define himself as different. He clearly sees a difference between himself and other agents (I believe he was intentionally made this way) and it seems he has privately turned to poetry to keep himself sane. He uses self harm as a similar coping mechanism (well, not similar, but the same logic) when he possesses Bane and is overwhelmed and disgusted by his new sensations
Hugo Weaving's delivery of all his lines is so incredibly well done and compelling.
he's undoubtedly great in these movies. not bad either in Lord of the rings, although I had trouble disassociating him from Agent smith.
@@roflzi The same problem here, I felt him as Agent Smith even n Hacksaw Ridge, even though he is hell of an actor
@@VeritaForYou Not about acting - almost anyone can act. It's about oration - conscious articulation and pacing, not just _pretending_ and _saying_ the lines but actually _expressing_ and _speaking_ them. The best actors have these (and other) skills, but most actors don't.
Don't forget V for Vendetta. You don't even see his face there and yet his deliveries are masterful!
Which is why Agent Smith in Resurrections is so fucking awful.
“We’re not here because we’re free, we’re here because we’re not free”
10/10 scriptwriting.
Sarcasm?
And your point is ?
There’s actually an underlying discussion of free-will vs causality. Smith is indicating he is aware of his (and Neo’s) compulsion to follow seemingly preordained events. This is mostly true because similar events occurred in previous versions of the matrix. Smith and the Merovingian believe in causality and Neo believes in free will. This isn’t a bad line, it’s a simple way of conveying that concept.

I love the entrance of Smith with the crows flying, like saying "here comes Death itself"
I have always thought the very same thing. Darkness himself has made his entrance.
the underrrrrrrtakeeerrrrrrr
Smith slowly walking towards Neo with the crows flying in front of him is one of
the coolest and most badass entrances ever for a villain
it's also cinematography masterpiece. the composition, the sound, the colors.... perfection.
It's a semi-cheesy homage to the trope of grand villain entrances, but it works for these films and Smith in particular because they embrace a small amount of cheese. Newer action movies are so fucking dry and dour 100% of the time, but that wasn't always the case. James Cameron poured a lot of cheese into his action flicks and that's why they're so good.
its a john woo thing with with doves back in the days with HK crime/shoot out movies, the villain/hero always walks in with doves flying ahead.....
Yeah men
Indeed. The sequels have many flaws, but also a lot of beauty like this shot. The many crows foreshadow the many Smiths that are about to appear

I love the subtle detail of Neo taking a few steps back as Smith approaches him. Probably the only person that can make Neo cautious.
And Neo knows that Smith is NOT "a person". It is some kind of... algorithmic plague. He wasn't surprised to see one version of the program... but 120+? Very surprising so soon. #Mutations
@@Novastar.SaberCombat Smith *is* him.
Agents "absorb" some of the code of the things they kill, because their job is to track down anomalies - so they're hoping to absorb stuff like knowledge on resistance hideouts. Neo is just SUCH an anomaly that the code Smith absorbed gave him, for lack of a better work, humanity.
That's the connection, and you can see it visually. In the Matrix, everything fake is tinted green, while humans are naturally coloured - Neo's suit, for example, is actually black once he embraces his role as The One, as with Trinity and Morpehus' outfits once they become stronger in later movies. Smith stops being green-tinted once he absorbs Neo. Because Smith has become human.

Arismafia Mafiaiskandar Only he wasn’t emotionless in the first one... Unlike the rest of the agents that were just doing what they were programmed for, he truly and deeply hated humans, especially Neo.
The scene where he keeps torturing Morpheus and the way he takes off his head piece, signifying that he wasn’t taking orders any more, is proof of this.
He even makes a speech about why he hates them. It’s what really sets him apart from other agents. It’s why he didn’t die when Neo tried to destroy him.
Any other agent would have been erased permanently, but smith was an anomaly among agents.
Because of this he went on to become a virus in the matrix itself after Neo attempted to end him.
He becomes increasingly more unstable with each film
@@SteveRogers0768 also the other agents came in and was like, "what are you doing".
He certainly was not emotionless. He had a strong hatred of humans from the beginning. The only thing that changed was his freedom and abilities; his character traits are actually relatively stagnant. Still a great villain.

"I'm a god in this matrix and I can shift and shape code at will... I will resort to destroying my enemies through... fist fight!"
He just wants to assimilate Neo cause he thinks Neo will be the key to leaving the matrix. So... not really any enemies..
Oh and neo can stop bullets and manipulate the matrix so... its a weird thing to him.
This wont work on neo bro Smith without Oracle assimilation is bellow him
To be fair he did try and take over neo at first and he said no I'm good lol
The movie is occult symbolism like most of Hollywood's shite, it's not meant to be logical. Smith represents Jesus which is why he starts converting people on mass after his crucifixion. You'll notice that when Smith/Jesus is killed by Neo, neo forms his body into a spear and Smith adopts a cruciform pose as he's killed.

**Looking at Nolan's Batman Trilogy**
which is great and fits perfectly since it's just copies of the same person so they don't have to worry about "friendly fire" and they're just clones so they're easily expendable. you can tell they wanted to highlight the more realistic side of "getting jumped" by the scene at 2:07 of the overhead shot of 4 Smiths attacking at once leading Neo to the other 2 that grabbed him

@@emilio2647 Is that why he looks a bit like Sam Neil?
And his performance in V. Outstanding!
Never gets old i still come on here just to watch this fight scene Hugo Weaving's delivery is top notch acting
All in all everyone played their parts like the professionals that they are.
Back when this was released it received undeserved criticism, now it looks like a masterpiece. Effects may be outdated but the choreography is master class.
The effects don't seem outdated at all. Even Star Wars (1977) looks better than tons of overdone, over-saturated, overused CGI festivals. Legitimate filmmaking knows when the acting, dialogue, and close-ups do the heavy lifting.
Also, Reeves obviously worked BEYOND hard on being precise with the actions the choreographer (Yuen Wo-Ping) required. Trust me, I understand... I choreographed and performed LIVE fight work for two decades.
🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
@@Novastar.SaberCombat In some scenes the effects become a little more obvious
@@tarikay93 There are still pretty great overall. The ambition of having hundreds of smiths fight Neo would be a big task today. In the early 2000's it was crazy. The practical stuff with the lookalikes and blurring works better than the cg of course but they wanted to push the fight even further which required CG. It didn't even look fantastic at the time but it's still a very impressive set piece. This is one of the best action sci fi movies ever made. The first matrix is still a better overall movie but the action in this movie is among the best ever made.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat funny, because I think modern movies look grey and UNDERsaturated. All the color that was present in the 80-s and 90-s movies is gone from most modern ones. Just compare how bright the colors look in the Avengers: Infinity War trailer and in the actual movie. It's like they applied 20 different filters on the originally bright and colorful image.
The presentation is simple but the story’s philosophy, its script, is very true.
Damn, almost 20 years later and this scene still gives chills.
Damn, over 20 years later and this scene still bores me beyond believe. Like many, many more scenes in Reloaded.
One thing I love about Neo in this scene:
When the fighting begins he’s unready and panicking, but after a while he gains his concentration back so can kick the living shit out of Smith
He has 20 pounds of ATP in his muscles and absorbs extra oxygen through his skin.
he was overwhelmed by Smith's new power and didn't want to get caught again. Notice how Smith kept putting open hands on him because he was trying to hold him down to "possess" him. Once Neo got compose, Smith started straight up striking closed fist and going for full body grabs instead of holding his limbs down
4:35 I love the subtle details between the agent and Smith. The green tint is gone, obviously the earpiece, and the corners of his sunglasses now have more edges (almost octagon instead of the square shape). Literally having more sides to him added in the program. Breaking the status quo.
My one white blood cell fighting of the coronavirus.
Then they need to clone your white blood cells and send them to taiwan. I was restricted to fly into the Philippines to meet my fiance. The Chinese need to stop eating rats. WTH!
@@noutheticcounseling5447 I agree with you man, it sucks that people can't see their loved ones because of this crap.
@@noutheticcounseling5447 Congratulations! Oh, and sorry to hear that
@James Maloy your mom
Lol
00:51 - I like how Agent Smith says that he “killed” Neo and than he says that he himself was “destroyed” because he knows he is a computer program and not alive. It’s the small details that makes these Matrix movies so great.
Kind of like when you corrupt a file and have to delete it. That's what Neo did to him in 1
But Smith found his way out of the recycle bin and discovered CTRL C 😄
Hes aware hes not human but hes definitely alive in the sense that he has free will to do as he pleases after neo alters his code. In the first movie he shows that he isn't like the other agent programs. Dropping the mask when he is alone with Morpheus. Not only is smith aware of the matrix, he has is own opinion of it, calling it a Zoo, As well as describing the SMELL. Showing human emotions such as disgust and hatred for the human race, along with the machines who put him there. Funny enough, you could say he is the least crazy in the whole series. Makes you wonder.. at what point is AI, alive.
Ps. i love hugo's acting @ 1:37, a little glimmer of smith being humorous when he calls himself a new man. Breaking from his speech pattern for only a moment.
Remembering that Neo is also a kind of Program!
As a Kid the CGI never bothered at all. Even to this day im not bothered. I think it look supernatural
I saw this as a kid and I will always love this movie.
Life is ? This story had plenty of uniqueness, this mix of combining programming with existentialism was still quite new. There was good acting like Hugo’s, and there was good action. And people’s precious practical effects often look goofy and ridiculous too, particularly with living beings. But as for your rant about America, most of the practical effect movies are from there too.
Life is ? U are so boorish to understand this movie
Life is it was a great movie
The cgi in mstrix till this day looks awesome better then most movies released. Its truly a head of his time
Best villain speech ever!
I love how professional they are towards each other. In a way very refreshing. It's abundantly clear subliminally that they each despise each other and wants to see the other destroyed. However, they both maintain dignity and show one another dare I say "respect".
As opposed to better enemies and some other films that are practically cursing each other out.
Neo: Congratulations 😐
Smith: Thank You 😌
@@javontemorant4701 If you go almost broke character if you didn't notice. He had a slight little cheesy grin on his face like he was about to laugh.
what better enemies are you talking about that are even in the shadow of these two?
When I was a kid I was convinced that this scene was awesome, but part of me felt sad when I discover that much fans hated it. Now with the actions scenes from resurrections we both can assure that this is a masterpiece :D
Same for the new one yall just hate everything it’s good
It's a great fight scene, fk the haters. They hated the exposition of the film (which I liked) but the choreography and music was top notch.
People like to find all sorts of ways to hate on things for no reason. All the while they sit in their basements eating chips and not producing something even 100th as good as this
@@WadeWalker22 The fight scenes and characters were all garbage compared to the originals, stop consooming.
people hated this? the hell...
When a philosophical debate turns into a fight.
thats the main message of matrix
@@Dantex60 shit that's the message of life

@@Industrious420 #I'm14andthisisdeep
This was my favorite part of the Video Game.
I really appreciate the fact they attack as soon as they can get to him and don't just try to attack him one by one, that kind of thing is annoying af
You see it less in scenes where multiple attackers are all "different" people. A real attacker in a group isn't going to want to get friendly fired by his buddies. The one at a time thing is actually realistic human behavior, in a way. I immediately noticed that these Mr Smiths fought differently. Of course they're not going to care about getting hit by another Mr. Smith. Genius detail.
I saw one-at-a-time done well recently, but the setting was a city bus. "Nobody".
That s why they hire fighting director from HK
Fighting that without stop and pause
agreed 100% always noticed that even w the bullet scene
Keanu loves training for these scenes for months. He does everything with passion and dedication to his craft. How lucky are we to be part of these scenes. Kudos to Keanu and all the fabulous actors on Matrix reloaded.
I still remember the crazy ass theory that Agent Smith was actually The One the entire time and Neo was supposed to be the catalyst that set him off.
I believe that.... smith was like a glitch
It's a bit less complicated than theory that other youtubers are trying to say. I'll try to explain it as i can. Sorry for my shitty english. So, get ready.. here we go..
Only 4 person in this world knows about matrix versions - Architect, Oracle, Smith, Merov.
Architector and Oracle are not connected to the mainfraim of matrix which is why they know it's a 6th version of Zion (yes, Zion is the Matrix as well) and 6th version of Neo and Smith. So everytime Matrix reloads, they know each one matrix version from start to end.
The whole plot of Matrix happened because Architector couldn't find the best way to fix a problem of choice in order to stabilize Matrix, so in order to shake things a bit, Oracle created anomaly. Architect will figure this out only at the end of third film. "You are playing dangerous game" (c) Architector
In theirs 6th meeting Architector specifically said to Neo (in a programm language btw), that he (NEO) is the result (created because of) of anomaly, which he can't comprehend entirely and can't deal with (with anomaly). This anomaly is the programm - Smith. He was created by Oracle in order to force Architect hand, so he would create the ONE(essentially.. antivirus with admin access). He didn't specify the anomaly, because he don't know what it is. The anomaly is not connected to mainfraim (Architector can't see it), which mean - machines can't do shit about it. He is invincible and invisible to them, they can't delete him, they can't do anything to him. Unkillable virus.
Neo was manipulated by Oracle in order to encounter Smith, while Smith was supposed to encounter the ONE in order to be rewrited by him to get admin access to the matrix without connecting to the mainframe. This created a threat to matrix, because Smith can now destroy it. Architect created Neo with such admin access (power of the ONE we see in the movie) in order for him to eventually fix the anomaly. But he never knew that Oracle manipulated them both and she is the one responsible for love interest of Neo. Her plan was to create the best situation, in which machines will have to get help from Human, in order to get their hands on anomaly and kill it - saving matrix. And by that machines and humans will be forced to achieve peace. That's what you see in the end. A human made a deal with a machines, to sacraficed himself so machines could destroy anomaly, save matrix and free everyone by ending war. The prophecy was never real, it was created to manipulate and confuse everyone (including viewers). Oracle knew that Neo have admin acces, because he was created by Architect to fix anomaly that she created. So she manipulated him in a way, that would allow to Smith get this blessing power of complete access to matrix after theirs final encounter. And that's why Smith could destroy the matrix. She manipulated everyone starting with Architector himself. To achieve peace.
It's really that easy.
Theres always a 1 and a zero in computer code lol
@@MrZlocktar It makes sense,but i don't understand something.
Smith is the anomaly,the virus,and Neo is cure.
But Smith when he turns Neo into a Smith clone,he corrupted the cure and due to the fact that he couldn't handle it,he explode and killing himself
My lack of understanding is this:
When neo first cures smith is in the end of the first one
Why did Smith survive and still was corrupted or was the anomaly,if he was cured in a way by neo in the first one?
@@Chanunaitor01 In the first film Smith was disconnected from mainfraime but has no administration access to matrix to copy or overwrite anything. The last encounter with Neo is what gave him this access. In the ending, When Smith overwrites Neo into another Smith, he connects himself back to matrix mainframe (because Neo entered matrix from it's mainframe), so system can now find him and delete for good. And that's exactly what Neo and machines were agree on to achieve peace. That's what happened when entire matrix of Smiths reloads in the ending scene.
Dude, these fights between Keanu Reeves and Hugo Weaving are probably some of the best in cinematic history. Not to take anything away from Keanu Reeves, but Hugo Weaving’s delivery of dialogue as Agent Smith is chilling. Such an iconic villain. Love all 3 movies.
This movie had the same impact as Star Wars. Nothing this original has came up in the last 15 years.
And with the way things are going, it may be another 15-years.
I would like to introduce you to Inception
@@dylanmartin4823 gotta agree, inception was good.
But just not as good
The purge franchise was good
@@tmac90 Except it can't be considered original enough.
The first part of this action sequence is fucking incredible and deserves the millions of views. From the acting, dialogue, musical score and choreography. The whole Matrix trilogy is master class. Audiences weren't ready for this when it was first released.
The first hour of the movie was boring but anything after the highway chase. I was hooked.
All these years later and now i see how iconic and unique Hugo Weaving is as Agent Smith. Totally owns the role, incredible.
@@honestfan442 you're right, he's such a copycat. He does the same role so many times :)
@@honestfan442 and V in v for vendetta. His line delivery it’s impecable there too, the man knows how to enunciate the shit out of his lines
yeah he honestly was the best actor in the series
Is Keanu Cat A Priest or Monk or something ?
The bar that Matrix movies set for these kinds of fights are simply at another level.A level that is way above any of the movies that came before these and arguably better than many movies that released after the time period.
If only Smith joined Anderson...
@TAJtvproduction Are you drunk?
@TAJtvproduction So wtf are you talking about then bruh...
@TAJtvproduction Delusional.
@TAJtvproduction Dude...your commenting about slavery, Aryan supremacy and Nazi's on a video a showing a fight scene in the matrix. You either have a problem or your drunk (or both).
@TAJtvproduction it's not relatable because the matrix is run by 'machines', you know, robots and such, who and this might be hard for your mind to understand, take the 'form' of people from 1990's Chicago, thus, they will, very likely be white.
Also, who the hell uses the word 'Aryan' anymore, your a few hundred years behind the times my guy.
Can we take a second and give Hugo weaving his flowers? His performance all throughout the series is simply Amazing
And after all this, some punk went and killed his dog...
Than he kills that punk,his whole men with fucking ✏️
What are your 12? Keanu was Neo long before John Wick
@@googlesucks6029 U wot m8? He's making Matrix 4
@@googlesucks6029 wooooooosh
Never mess with either Neo or John Wick!😎👍👊
1:38 I like how his speech is not consistent, before he was connected to the matrix so he had perfect speech. But now, his programming is re learning how to speak properly.
Love how the two adversaries are able to respect each other and have a conversation before the most over the top fight of all time
'Yes, me, me, me'
'Me too'
Easily the best dialogue in the whole move
ME ME ME....!!!
Technically it’s monologue 😀
@@0fataccount492 Technically it's a soliloquy
Technically Agent Smith created the game Changed
The dated cgi in the matrix sequels is still better than the cgi in most Hollywood movies nowadays (Justice league)
Let's not exagerate. It's not better at all..
Don't use justice League as an example they massacred the movie just look at zs trailer
If you think so u really got to check your eye!
I interpreted the questionable CGI as the Matrix not being able to properly process the amount of commotion going on. The fabric of space and time was literally beginning to degrade because of how many virus Agent Smiths there were in this one small location, like a steadily increasing amount of glitches that are pooling in one chunk of the generated terrain.
It's funny how the CGI on quite a few 2000's movies somehow dwarfs most of the CGI used in current movies. It's like, they had less resources, but knew how to use them.
4:10 For 20 years I've never figured out what stopped that agent in mid-air.
Hit the invisible wall of the fight arena
hahahah i saw it too. never noticed. camera is positioned this way that the viewer assumes he smashes against a static object
1:10 - 1:43 gives me shivers every time.... his emphasis on certain words, voice tone, pauses, his facial expressions... everything simply outstanding! agent smith was the first villian i saw in movies that i was really scared of.
he nailed it so hard to make it look/sound like a machine which is trying to show/mimic human emotion.
my personal best villian of all time!
Facts! When I was younger, I didn’t notice him sounding like a computer until now
Yes absolutely my most favorite villain
I feel like this scene in particular really shows smiths hatred for neo , smith got what he wanted in the first film, to be free of the matrix but not on his terms , Smith came back for the sole purpose of revenge against the one person who took his "purpose" from him...I'd like to compare it to an undefeated boxer about to retire and loses a fight...now he just wants to get back at the person who beat him ..retiring is off the table now .
What did he mean by "I knew the rules" when he was killed, did that kill his avatar/body? Or did he realize that he was still alive (his software) and that he should not be and had to be deleted?
@@Cerberusx32 yeah he was meant to be gone but I think neo bugged him out instead.. so he's now like stuck in limbo.. he became a virus like file and starts copying himself onto whatever he can
You kids gotta understand something. In the early 2000s,we had dial-up internet and there was only 1 or 2 trailers out for this movie. The anticipation this sequel was crazy. I was 14 in 2004 when I finally watched the vhs at my aunts house. When Neo stopped himself from being assimilated and the beat dropped (called "Burly Brawl"btw) my jaw was on the floor before I started marking out. This was the greatest scene i had ever seen up to that point.. Cgi was still new to us and seeing neo hopelessly fighting all those Smiths was a sight to behold for 14 year old me. Matrix revolutions just didn't have the same feeling neither did the ps2 game when I got to this scene
The sad thing is this generation will remember him as John Wick.
But he will always be Neo to me.
I didn't watch matrix so he will allways me matrix dude for me.
I just called him neo before John wick happened plus i was little and didn't know his name i was like "MOM LOOK ITS NEO IN JOHN WICK"🤣
Psssht. He'll always be Ted "Theodore" Logan. Millennial trash!
Nah, he'll always be Ted "Theodore" Logan.
@Zzzz No, you're just pointlessly categorizing people.
I love the fighting sound affects! 😅 One of the best fight scenes!!
This is how I imagine that Hand Sanitizer fights the Coronavirus 😂😂
Real shit!!
Well more or less it goes like this: 1 Doctor per each 200 infected people.
Hand sanitizer kills 99.9% of bacteria
Neo: the 0.01% of bacteria
Lol @ thinking antiBACTERIAL hand sanitizer fights the COVID-19 VIRUS
Actually, if it were like soap on covid then all Mr Smiths would be torn apart guts flying around within 20 seconds.
Hugo Weavings acting is out of this world, honestly.
He is just AMAZING
