I understand why they made the choices that they made within this film, and all is alright! Nonetheless I hope you guys enjoy this reaction and please let me know if you would like to see me react to the third film!

3rd Matrix movie reaction is recorded and will be posted on Friday ♥️
Yayeeeee!
Also, checkout if you haven’t already seen them:
1) The Bourne movies (all are great movies)
2) Mission Impossible (especially the first one with Cruise)
3) Underworld (all the movies are well worth checking out)
4) Bridge To Terabithia
5) Chocolate (a martial arts movie but a there is a twist)
6) Ninja Assassin (speaking of martial arts, if you are only going to watch one martial arts movie, watch this one)
TV to checkout:
1) Lucifer (first season is the best)
2) Game of Thrones (first 6 seasons, probably the best show ever on TV up till the last seasons were it fell apart)
3) Invincible
Miscellaneous
1) Bill Burr comedy (most anything he has is funny, why men are paid more, motherhood, etc.)
2) The Crying Game (talk about a movie mindf**k)
3) Jackie Evancho (spelling might be off, any of her auditions but especially the first)
4) 4th Power (Raise the Roof audition)
5) Kenichi Ebina (first audition)
6) Jonathan and Charlotte (first audition)
To clarify the Architect scene a bit for you:
1) Neo is not the first or only One; there have been five other people who were the "One" as well as five other cities of Zion (all of which were destroyed).
2) The Matrix only works if people choose to accept it as reality; older versions of the Matrix were too dream-like and people refused to believe that it was real, so they kept waking up. Even in the later iterations, there are a certain number of people who just don't accept that it is real and those are the ones that escape and join Zion.
3) The One is someone who is created by the Machines: each One carries a special code that will allow the machines to essentially reset the Matrix and restart the cycle of Ones and Zions.
4) The other Ones chose to sacrifice their Zions in order to preserve humanity as a whole since the Matrix will collapse without the reset and the majority of humanity is still locked within the Matrix. Neo is the first One to not make this choice since he was unwilling to sacrifice Trinity and thus chose to save her rather than humanity. The Architect flatly states that Neo is the first One to actually fall in love, or at least the others hadn't been in love at the time of the choice.
5) The Architect didn't actually know what Neo would do for certain, so all he could do was map out the possibilities (all the screens playing behind Neo) and plan according to what he might do.
*Edit*
6) The Architect is actually trying to throw Neo off at the beginning of the scene, hence the odd and complicated language. He's actually rather impressed by Neo realizing that fact and starts to answer more succinctly as the scene goes on.
there is a theory that neo isnt the one. agent smith is in actuality the one.
@@judgeomega That's a bit of a misunderstanding IMO. People are using the terms "The One" and "The Anomaly" interchangeably, and to an extent they can be, but that's also caused come confusion. "The One" is the result if the "Integral Anomaly", the flaw in the Matrix's programming. Neo is "The One", but since The One is part of the plan, he isn't AN anomaly. Smith is AN anomaly of his own, separate from the Integral Anomaly. Smith wasn't part of the plan, he was a side-effect of the Oracle's experiment.
Another interesting point I don’t see discussed is the duality between Neo and Smith. Neo was born of the Matrix, he escaped into the real world. Smith was also born (programmed) into the Matrix and escaped into the real world. In that regard, this 6th version discussed by the Architect is actually a new anomaly, an additional result based on the remainder of the unbalanced equation. I believe that this additional anomaly is what pushed the machines to make the choices they did at the end of the third movie. On top of all that, based on my just proposed theory, the question of “who is the One” becomes less clear cut. Thoughts?
@@cjmars822 With your theory in mind, that would make their decision at the end of the third movie as a logical move: instead of solving the equation to account for everything, better to remove the uncontrollable elements and streamline the equation you already have. Since the ones who want out may also include programs that would otherwise cause mischief as well as dissolutioned humans, that would lead to a more stable Matrix and fewer resources that need to be spent hunting "anomalies".
@@lotuswraith 100% agree. Based on Smith’s comments in the first film, the implication is the machines are just as much prisoners of the Matrix as the humans are. Stooped to glorified livestock farmers just to survive. I feel like each movie could have been a hour longer each to explain all this. Then again, it’s more fun discussing it with others :)
I don’t care what people say about the third one, it’s f’ing bananas and bat **** crazy... I love it. Enjoy it.
The only thing I have against _Reloaded_ is that it has too much stuff unto it. Thus, _Revolutions_ felt empty because there wasn't much left.
I agree. I actually love all 3.
I saw this in theaters opening day. After the fight with all the agent smiths, everyone applauded. I'll never forget that.
I for one love all three movies and I hope you watch the third one too! Thank you for sharing the journey!
I love the Matrix movies and it always frustrated me that people would say they hated the sequels. I think the main problem is that the 2nd and 3rd films need to almost be treated as one movie and watched back to back. Otherwise, a lot of information is forgotten or lost. Rewatching them again in my 30s I know they are not perfect films in fact there are a few things they could have done to clarified (for example, I feel that they didn't show enough of Smith destroying the Matrix world, making him more of a threat to both the machines and mankind). I fully appreciate what the directors were going for tho :).
"How can he do that?"
Remember, the vast majority of the movie takes place in the Matrix. In the Matrix, Neo as "The One" can 'break all the rules'.
Gravity, human limits of speed and strength, etc etc. It's all fake. There is no Spoon. If the World was a game, Neo has the cheat codes.
The 'real' question is how the hell did Neo fry the sentinels. That was in the 'real world', where Neo is supposed to be 'only human'.
This is very true... I don’t know why I didn’t fully realize it was in the real world until now. Like I knew but I didn’t know- yknow?? Man. That’s crazy.
There's actually a theory that the "real world" is just another level of the matrix and that's how Neo was able to stop the sentinels.
If neo was created by the main frame's system, and the codes he figured out how to read and manipulate them by the end of the first movie, then it makes sense that he can alter the codes in the sentinels since they were created by the main frame as well.
I think one of the biggest reasons why some poeple don't like the sequels. Is mostly they don't get it and they get lost.
Even you had a hard time following it.
The guy at the end that you didn't know is the guy agent Smith took over then went into the real world threw that guys body. So yes that was the guy who wanted to stab neo. And it's actually agent Smith outside of the matrix.
Please watch the last one.

But also... I get bored during the CGI fight scenes. lol
The first one had very real effects, lots of wire-fu. The sequels have an over abundance of very plastic looking cgi.
Also it has a lot of semi religious philosophy tacked on.
"Ok. You have some skill." - My absolute FAVORITE line in the movie! (perfect delivery)
There is nothing like a narcisistic villain giving a well deserved 'tip of the hat' to the hero!
That man is Agent Smith at the end. He took over his body and left the matrix in the real world for the first time
Yes! I remember him doing that but wasnt sure if that was him at the end!
Exactly. That why he was cutting himself, physical pain was literally a new sensation for him. Disturbing but true.
@@OGBReacts I think it's because he's upside-down and people look different when they lay back and their face sits differently.
I know a lot of people (including me) that were like "who the heck was that?" when they watched it in the cinema.
Without the sequels, the original movie cannot be fully understood. Between 1999 and 2003 I was always disturbed by the "prophecy" and Oracle stuff. It felt pretty weird. When the sequels were released, everything suddenly, finally made sense.
BUT I admit this movie can be confusing. It's the most complex out of the trilogy.
Seraph is an Agent from one of the first iterations of the Matrix - the Paradise Matrix. It's theorized that that is why his code is gold colored instead of green colored (althought others say it's the difference between a hardware/firmware program and a pure software program). Seraphim are one of the choirs of Angels in Christian myth, hence his name, and why he wants to help humans and guards the Oracle. He went into exile after the failure of the Paradise Matrix and worked for the Merovingian for a time.
The Twins, aka the Ghosts, are Agents from the Nightmare Matrix, one where all of humanity's fears were personified in various ways, with many programs taking on the appearance of monsters from human folklore. They too became exiles when that Matrix failed, and also took up with the Merovingian, who, along with Persephone, are sort of an unofficial machine Mafia within the Matrix, doing their own thing separate from the overall Machine goals.
I just love how no one has questioned my shirt yet LMAO
Kirby?
I admired it. Didn't see it as questionable. ;)
The whole Matrix universe is portrayed as a lot of parallels to computers and computer systems.. Agents are programs that can "possess" any file, aka connected humans in this case, in the mainframe. Neo and the freed humans are like hackers fighting the programs, trying to disconnect/extract the files (connected humans). Agents are so strong because they have access to most of the mainframe's potential. Neo is even stronger because he's the hacker who has just cracked the entire mainframe and has more access than even the agents. He can use loopholes and everything, hence performing impossible things like flying, stopping bullets, etc etc. Just like elite hackers. Smith when he's "freed", essentially becomes a rogue program, or more like a virus. And just like a computer virus, he starts attaching himself to everything in the system and multiplying, eventually taking over the whole system. So he's now not with the system and is more or less against it and becomes a threat to both the hackers and the mainframe.
"Peace! I'm leaving!" got me in the funny bone😄😆
Thank you for doing this. The best thing about this trilogy is the philosophical background of it and the sign of the times when it was released. It really was a foretelling of things to come.
Your response to Neo grabbing Trinity’s heart was very funny XD
Lol, at 15:00, "What was the point of that?". Sums up the two sequels perfectly.
Neo catching Trinity after she got shot is kinda silly. At their interception rate she would've broken every bone in her body; that impact of her and Neo's combined velocities would've been harder and more energy than her simply hitting the ground.
Then again, Neo is 'the One' and could've altered the physics.
in a trilogy like this, the story has to have a "natural progression" in order for it to be believeable.
with that said however, to many knock a franchise soley based off visuals. this totally underminds the greatness of a story if all you're looking for is a "wow moment".
people loved The Matrix movies because of the story, not so much for its base line CGI. CGI was still (and still is) in it's infancy phase. 20yrs from now, all CGI filled movies will look "out-dated" even though it was "state-of-the-art" for its time.
basically what i'm saying is this... i've watch hundreds of movies that people hated only to find out those movies did suck. i've also watched hundreds of movies that people hated only to find out those movies were in fact masterpieces.
don't live off other peoples' experiences...experience them for yourself ...then you'll have your own opinion as to whether or not something is trash or treasure. enjoy your journey, you only get one true shot at it ...don't waste it due to other peoples' opinions
One. The flying was the ability that anyone in the matrix saw him fly, they might wake up Neo made His Own Glitch in Matrix.
Two. Most people forget in the first movie, Morpheus told Neo in the beginning there was a man inside the matrix that could make it do what ever he wanted to do.
Three. Most people who watched didn't realize the guy on the table at the end was just another copy made by Mr. Smith.
Four. Once they showed you Zion and people were living underground, not all cool clothes and style, I knew most people were not going to like this film, especially when the political aspects came into the storylines.
Five. This was made to be an epic to challenge one's mind and go deeper than just a sweet fight flick.
In the first movie when Neo Fought the Agents and came back to life, he saw the Agents in Code.
That let me know he was going to transcend into something the Matrix itself never saw, why because as corny as it may sound alout of his power came from the Love He Had For Trinity.
The one thing about the Matrix Trilogy is you can't watch them just once to get it and most people can't do that or have the time to do so.
Religion/ Politics /Philosophy / Computer Technology/ Western and Japanese Anime film concepts.
Layer after Layer with that big concept it's up to you to determine how far you want to go down the rabbit 🐇 hole as a viewer. The CG animation fight to me was the concept that people forget the Matrix is a Computer Program Simulation, The air the people none of it is real, the only thing that was an actual human being was Neo, who now can be human and a computer program so when it looked the way it did to me it made sense.
Then people always forget Neo was a Hacker, so I think he used his hacking ability on a physical level then just sitting at a keyboard typing.
If you get a chance there is a documentary on Hulu called A Glitch In The Matrix, I'm not saying I agree with what they say in the film, but for some The Matrix and Philip K Dick and his movies and books it made some people ask questions about the world around, some good some very very bad.
Sorry, so long I'm a Nerd...
Peace & Respect 🐇🔄🐇
Fun fact: Carrie-Anne Moss had no idea how to ride a motorcycle before filming this, but rode the bike herself in the chase scene. That's some natural motorbike skillz.
When Persephone shot 1 guy he was a vampire. To show vampires exist because they were a program written... Possibly in one of the other iteration of the matrix since this isn't the 1st iteration of the "matrix".
I'll try my best to explain what the architect said, for those who get lost:
Essentially, when the matrix was created, human beings naturally rejected it, because humans reject being slaves, even if they don't consciously know that they're slaves. So humans would reject the matrix, break out, and end up dying since they had no ability to move or feed themselves once out of the matrix. Countless humans died, which cost the machines a lot of time and energy.
One day, a program basically figured out that if you give the humans the illusion of choice, even at a subconscious level, they become far more willing to accept the matrix. But this still resulted in some humans rejecting it. Much fewer people rejected it than before, so the machines decided to push forward with a plan.
So in order to deal with this, the machines created the "cycle of the one". Where one special human would be born every so often. This human's purpose would be to choose a set of men and women to free from the matrix after the machines wiped out the humans of Zion. Once freed, he would introduce these humans to the world similar to the way Neo was introduced. Once the freed humans were given their mission, the one would die, but tell the humans that he would be born again. Then his code would be reabsorbed by the machines and the cycle would begin again.
So to these humans, The One is the person that broke them out of the matrix, then died as a result of giving them their freedom, with the promise of being reborn again some time later.
This kept the humans in check. The cycle would continue again and again, except KeaNeo made different choices. Essentially breaking the cycle. In every other cycle, The One would wait for his people to be destroyed so that he could give the human race a chance to live. KeaNeo, on the other hand, risked humanity's safety in order to save Trinity. The architect dismisses him because his computer mind can't fathom any way in which the humans survive. They've become very efficient at killing humans, after all.
Due the existence of human choice, there will always be a small number of humans you will reject the Matrix and choose the Real World instead. No matter how ideal or "perfect" the Machines make each new version of the Matrix, they will never get 100% of humans to pick the Matrix. It's a mathematical impossibility. And that small percentage of people will inevitably multiply, unplug more people, and become a threat to the Matrix's stability. The Machines couldn't control human choice, but they could anticipate the outcome of their choices and planned accordingly, creating the cycle of destruction and reconstruction of Zion, which is the true purpose of The One. Each time Zion gets too big and becomes too much of a threat to the Matrix, the Machines destroy it, and The One is tasked with rebooting the Matrix with the code he carries and choosing a handful of humans to unplug in order to rebuild Zion. The humans are lead to believe that The One is a messianic figure who will someday return to liberate humanity and defeat the Machines, but this is merely a lie they are told to make them more willing to help The One, unaware of his true purpose of keeping the cycle going.
Fun fact: during the motorcycle scene Carrie Ann Moss (Trinity) was terrified of motorcycles and was scared to death through the whole thing and used filming this to get over that fear.
The matrix trilogy is a rabbit hole itself.
It needs thoughts and questioning. Also ultimately needs multiples rewatchs to fully understand the journey. I get why people dont like the sequels cause they're undeniably flawed, but beyond that it's an epic story of a human world, where the original pinpointed caracters, as we usualy like stories in movies.
But the third to me, considering the whole world built that we follow (instead of a simple caracter) culminates to a total epic.
Not just in terms of the main caracters or the action, but philosophically.
To bring some clarity the guy with the knife cutting his hand was Smith who took over the guy before he answered to phone. He is also the guy at the end.
Yep, Agent Smith copied himself to Bain in the Matrix, and then recalled through the phone into Bains body back on the ship. Trying to take out Neo in the real world.
Aaaaaah, the delicious world breaking of the original masterpiece. An “agent” in the real world and Neo exerting power over sentinels in the real world.
Love it when ingenious settings compromise themselves.
@@SpectreSpook I kind of understand Smith copying himself like a virus and then corrupting Bain. But, I have never understood how Neo stopped the sentinels in the real world.
Or you could just let her watch revolutions and figure it out by herself if she hasn't already.
@@roddo1955 🤷♂️
OGB turning her head to try and recognize the dude at the end. Absolutely hilarious.
The Matrix (first one) is my #1 favorite movie of all time. I personally think it stands on its own without the sequels and don't care much for them, but I would never tell anyone not to watch them. They're alright. There are even some parts of them that I actually do like. But the original movie was so groundbreaking and unique at the time. It's just something else entirely. I'm really glad you watched The Animatrix!! It's so much fun and super interesting! I rewatch that one from time to time and I've seen the first movie more times than I can count. I saw it 11 times in the theater (yes, I'm old - and obsessive over movies lol) and it was the first DVD I ever bought even before I bought my first DVD player. I've probably watched it at least once a year since then, so...I've seen it a LOT!
Look at Neo as an Avatar in an open world RPG that can mod himself to fly, stop bullets... He's a mod editor lol
Yep he has the ability to rewrite the coding of the matrix, so bullets can be changed into mushroom or slowed and dropped to the floor
IMO the Matrix movies as a whole make a lot more sense if you imagine them as anime. The way the scripts work, the way the shots are set up and the effects and camera used are all exactly how a high concept anime series would do it.
"I'm more confused now than before" That's the general reaction
The guy in the end is the one Agent Smith cloned himself with in The Matrix and entered the real world to kill Neo there. This is why Bane was unstable and cutting himself. Not feeling himself.
Agent Smith is free from the system. But he still is bound by the laws of a program. He is able to copy himself, and that is his power. Like a virus. Not explaining more details as some is revealed in the next movie.
Ahh okay so I get that now. I knew something was real off with Bane but I didn't put two and two together!
@@OGBReacts it was left a bit hanging in the air. The confirmation that Smith is Bane, comes in the third movie. You were figuring things out by yourself, just fine. Like everything: when people think they are not spoiling, they still spoil. I did not realise Smith was Bane until part3. I had a hunch but I had a full year to find out when the movies first came out. That experience has been spoiled for you by people who already seen the movie. Probably many times over. Under the pretext of :"some people miss a lot:"....they think they're helpful but don't allow a reactor to figure things out organically. They want reactors to see what they see.
@@roddo1955 Wow. This is right on the money. You’re truly absolutely right; but it’s okay! All is alright. I had one comment basically say “how does anyone NOT know who it is at the end?? How does this happen with all these reactors??” And it’s like... dude... it’s just how it is. If tons of people don’t get it at the end, it’s probably because it’s meant to be not obvious. People can’t seem to fully understand that this really is the first time I’m watching it, while the people commenting are usually those who watched this series multiple times. It’s alright though; all the rude assholes get blocked 🤣
@@OGBReacts I better watch my mouth then! I am so rude😂
Also keep in mind that in my experience, the matrix trilogy is something you can revisit and things just start making more sense if you're curious to find out more but not a necessity. The movie was purposely made that way. Every viewing will make things more clear to those who are willing to find out. But for most people, one time viewing of the trilogy is enough. And they might not 'get everything' but for them it is enough. For fans, it is never enough😉 I remember sitting my friend down for a Lord of the Rings marathon and wanting her to like it. Well not only was it just not her kind of movie; it was also not helpful that I wanted her to get everything. Difference being: I've seen it 4533544 times. She only saw it once and I kinda ruined it for her.Most things people are commenting on here, is stuff you would not notice after a first watch. For instance, the talk with the Architect will go over many peoples' heads at first viewing. But it leaves you with a hunch that is revealed/confirmed in the third movie.
I would love to see You watching the "Star Trek"-movies !
It's far deeper than ppl realise, it completely opens aspects of the various themes to some ridiculous levels. It is an overlap and set up, but as a standalone movie, every scene can be broken down to an n-th degree.. most ppl don't get it...
Oh no no I can completely understand and see that; it's complicated and there are many layers to everything within this entire franchise; I have no issues with the complexity of it, even though I may not fully understand each thing, yknow?
For example, the monologue by the Architect indicates that revisions of the matrix is necessary to collect the anomalies of the Matrix in basically the Neo application that has to return to the Source and then the system is rebooted to create a clean run of the matrix to ensure humans accept it in its 'clean' state to ensure maximum acceptance of the matrix (and hence more human batteries to power the machines). The one factor that is not taken into account by the machines is human resilience, hope and love and in that, this expected process allows for just enough possible deviations that an unexpected outcome is possible that destroys the matrix. Every key character in the matrix is a intended program but also a possibly hackable and changeable piece of software that affects the ultimate outcome. I tried to keep this as simple as i could, so i apologize now for any incorrect references and i hope you get the gist of the explanation. Enjoyed your reaction btw.
@@OGBReacts All good then. Keep on keeping on girl 😉
The Architect's speech: it may be confusing but in short, the Matriz as a computer program becomes unestable every 100 years or so (like a device without any maintenance), so Neo, or the chose one, is a human in which the architect placed a code to "reboot" the whole Matrix system (like rebooting you computer), Neo is the sixt chosen one so that's the sixth version of the Matrix. When the chosen one choses if save Zion, the city is destroyed but the computers free around 20 humans to start a new Zion and implant the code in another human inside the matrix (so the cycle repeats over and over), in this case Neo decided to save Trinity because he love her, the previous 5 chosen ones chose to save the city instead. But as Neo made a deal with the architect...and that's a story for the end of the 3rd movie...
If you liked this one enough, the 3rd is worth watching in the same way. Just like this one, it has some cool scenes but just not as good as the first. Worth watching this just out of curiosity, and to prepare to watch the new one coming out if you're interested in that.
I actually like the third one better than this one. All the hand-to-hand combat got _really_ old here, IMO, and there's very little of it in "Revolutions."
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy ugh, all I can think of when I try to remember the third one is like... people shooting up.
Just to clarify: The second and third movie were filmed at the same time, so those are more like one movie split in to two parts.
So maybe that's why the ending of this one feel the way it does.
I was a teen when this came out, and went with my best buds and girlfriend to see the sequel to the best movie ever ( we wore long black coats, boots, and any leather we had cause that made us edgy... Right)...
Anyway, during the Merovingian scene, the one with the orgasm cake, my girl covered my eyes right before the "no shit at this point" scene. That silly gesture, the smile she gave me, and the fact that her hand did nothing to stop my vision made it an endearing memory.
This has been story time with a Jackass.
That’s so fun!! Thanks for sharing!
Because he's the one he has something in his higher thinking that makes him realize exactly what the Matrix is. So while most who understand what the Matrix is can bend the laws that govern it, he realizes he's not part of the system so what reason does he have to follow any of them. If he wishes to fly then he can. While that's the only super power he ever used, he likely could have breathed fire or done other crazy shit.
The hardest part to understand is the architect discussion. Neo is the "One" but not the first version of the "One". Watch the 3rd film to understand how he is the "One".
You're the first reactor I've seen to know that kid's from the Animatrix 👏
Essentially, Neo is the ultimate program manipulator/ hacker.
14:17 - Smith is now a rogue program (no longer an agent) and he is copying and replicating himself similar to a computer virus. His goal is to overwhelm Neo's powers with sheer numbers.
Neo is "The One" and Smith is "The Many".
The guy at the end was the guy who tried to kill Neo, the one who said we should volunteer, the same guy who Agent smith copied himself onto at beginning of the movie before he could get out threw the phone
On rewatches it becomes pretty clear, but on first viewing... uff it's unclear. Like, he looks SO different when in the Matrix cause of what he's wearing, and we barely see him long enough for his appearance to make an impression on us. The focus of the scene is Smith, and for all we know this guy's just an extra.
@@Eidlones he wasn't in the Matrix when he was Advancing toward Neo, nor was he when he told his captain they should volunteer for the mission. Maybe because I was high when I first watched it, I was hyper aware of such things but I knew when I first seen him laying on the table as the sole survivor it was same guy smith took over.
@@Yugioh420 No, but he didn't have that much screen time, and outside of him having the knife, he didn't really do anything made you take notice of him.
Plus it doesn't help that he's upside down at the end, further changing his appearance what what you'd been seeing him as.
About the "low quality" CGI in the Burly brawl (the fight between Neo and the many Smiths), it's coherent in the movie universe because the Matrix is affected by Smith copying himself and having too many iterration of him at the same place creates an overload that the Matrix mitigate by altering the resolution in the area
Also, ther is some funny noises during the battle. Like bowling pins falling down when Neo hit a group of Smith with another one
Keep in mind the Wachowski already done this in the previous movie (when Neo hit the ground after his first jump trial) to recall the audience that the Matrix isn't real but computer generated environment
This is an interesting way to view it, because rewatching that scene has become painful (for me) as the graphics just don't stand up.... I remember watching it with a friend and freezing it during that scene and we just lost it cracking up. I still love the concept though and I really like the second one. The highway scene and the fight scene prior make the movie worth it for me. Idk why people keep saying the sequels are crap or even useless? I definitely don't agree lol, even if I'm not a huge fan of the third film
Oh yes, the Architect speech! One of the most confusing scripts on movie history EVER! Keep up the good work
CYB3R2K30 Yeah, I didn’t have any trouble understanding it the first time I watched it.
@CYB3R2K30 I don't think people are that dumb. The sequence is made fun of for being boring and rightfully so.
You just can't expect the sequel to match the first film. If you go into it with low expectations, it's not a bad film at all. I think it would have been impossible to match the success of the first.
Oh I completely agree
I went in with low expectations because everyone basically said to do so, so yeah I'm not even disappointed or angry with the film at all! I'm just a neutral "okay that was alright", yknow what I mean?
@@OGBReacts Bingo. It's a good film if you don't go into it expecting the same wow factor as you got in the first film. :)
@@neil2444 did we see the same movie ?
I honestly think a lot of people didn't like this beyond how dense it is but by how depressing the series really ended up being. The first one ended with hope and it was all bullshit. By the end it is a very dark and depressing mythos. Having said that over time people are appreciating it more, especially certain things like shots and music.
The Morpheus ghost fight shot is still unbelievable.
Yeah, like the first movie ends with that AWESOME monologue from Neo on the phone. "I'm going to show them something beautiful. I'm gonna show them a world without you. [click]" Like, that p much says it all right there lol. But oh well, like you said, the sequels aren't the worst thing ever and I agree.
Great reaction, and I look forward to the third movie!
Hey Bogangles. One of the possible problems with the Matrix sequels is the fact that the Writers/ Directors the Wojakowski Sisters/Brothers stole the story from another science fiction writer.
So they initial story was worked out. However when it came time to make a sequel because the movie was so popular the Wojakowski sisters had to come up with their own plots, story line and motivations.
Thus things start to go all over the place. I do like most of the movie. I just think the fight in the courtyard could be cut in half. And the end could be handled differently.
"Live damnit! Live!!" lmao
Thanks for reacting to the 2nd one. Hoping you react to the 3rd. :)
Nice Pelo shirt😂. I still love the Matrix. Nice video good job lol
I personally enjoyed the sequels and took no end of crap from my friends for defending their merits rather than echoing their hatred for them. No, they're not nearly as good as the first movie. They're overlong and much more confusing, but I really do appreciate that the Wachowski's tried to sneak small examinations of things like free will, or the use of prophecy as a means of controlling populations, etc., into these massive summer blockbusters. Did they execute these movies perfectly, or even well? Arguably no, but wow do I respect them for trying.
In regards to why Link replaced Tank from the second movie onwards. The actor Marcus Chong actually has his own RUclips channel and released a documentary about it called the Marcus Chong story free on RUclips. I've watched it but wouldn't recommend it as he seems batshit crazy and genuinely scary and I think that was the main reason his part was written out.
The reality was he was asking for too much money made physical threats against the producers and from watching the documentary he seems VERY delusional about his abilities as an actor and apparently 400k was not enough money for him 🤷♂️
I actually thought he did a good job in the first movie but as a person.... yeesh
I think it's likely that Chong suffers from schizophrenia. Either that or he's just flat out delusional (He thinks Warner Bros tried to send an assassin to his house, that Warner Bros deleted all the email from his fans... which would only be possible if he was using an account on their servers... and so on.) He did very little after The Matrix, having appeared in three short films, one movie, and five TV episodes (one episode each of five different TV shows). He hasn't done much since 2013.
@@SpearM3064 I hope he gets the help he needs if that's true as the video was tough to watch and some of the comments were a bit harsh on him and that can't be good for his mental state which is probably even worse now they are doing a new Matrix film
Now here's the question... and it's not do I watch the 3rd one, it's do I make a reaction video of the third movie?
Poll here:
ruclips.net/user/postUgzJGmFKmTRM6Bc07H94AaABCQ
Judging from the looks of the pole currently, you'll be doing the third movie reaction, personally I like the movies so I'll definitely be watching it. But there is a lot of movies I'd love to see reactions to that are yet to be reacted to by anyone. Like Nothing but Trouble, or little monsters. Or Boondock saints, I'd say Across the Universe, but that who movie is pretty much song after song so no point in doing a reaction but should watch it if you haven't.
What would make you not want to do a reaction? Do you want to do a reaction?
@@roddo1955 because if no one was going to watch it, why waist time doing the editing and posting? But if people will watch it she'll do the reaction.
@@Yugioh420 @roddo I just genuinely like knowing if people want me to or not! That’s all! I just always wanna make sure.
@@OGBReacts that's cool. It will be interesting seeing if you like the last one or not. Especially since I heard they was coming out with another one. Dont know if it's true or just rumors but be interesting to see where they go if they do make another one.
25:12. This is why the following movies are secretly Matrix prequels: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Little Buddha, Bram Stroker's Dracula, Devil's Advocate, Constantine, and John Wick. I also definitely consider Memento a Matrix Prequel.
Weirdly, I think the trilogy works better now than it did back then, but even back then I never understood the hate for the sequels. Apart from one over long unnecessary scene in the 3rd one, I enjoyed them just as one story.
I'm biased, but I think you should push through with the third film. Don't know if you'll like it, but at this point you've already practically watched the first half of the movie anyways.
Cliff notes for what the Architect was talking about:
When the Matrix was made the first two versions failed miserably because humans would reject them outright, either because it was too perfect or too horrible. The "systemic anomaly" he's talking about is human choice. When enough humans CHOOSE to reject the system the anomaly builds up and eventually crashes the Matrix in a spectacular heap of failure. When looking for solutions to fix this the machines turned to a program who seemed to have a solution (or at least a good enough one), a program initially created to figure out what makes humans tick: the Oracle.
The solution was to make a normal human world, and they discovered that if humans were given a subconscious choice on whether to accept or reject the Matrix 99% of them would. Still, that 1% was still a problem. With enough build-up of the "systemic anomaly" the Matrix would still crash, so to patch this they concocted Zion and the One:
Zion is essentially a controlled resistance. A small bunch of troublesome humans would be let out and allowed to build a society underground and out of the way to not be too much of a bother. Hell, they even pull other troublesome humans out of the Matrix. How courteous of them! After about 100 years, once Zion got big enough, it would be destroyed and replaced by a new batch of humans. This is where the One comes in. While it's not stated outright, it's implied that the one is given their power over the Matrix by the machines, basically admin privileges, as a kind of avatar of human choice. They would then be tasked with returning to the Source where they'd be given a "choice:" go to the Source, dump your code, which reboots the Matrix, resolves the problem of choice, and temporarily stave off the system crash it causes, then lead the select humans to rebuild Zion, or...don't, let the crash happen killing everyone in the Matrix and let the machines destroy humanity.
So yeah, not really a choice. Zion is the machines bargaining chip and they're counting on the One to prioritize saving humanity as a whole, even if it means perpetuating the machine's cyclical system of control. The five ones before Neo chose to go along with it, let Zion be destroyed, reboot the Matrix, and take 23 humans from the Matrix to become the "first to be awakened." But while the other One's were "programmed" with a general love of humanity, Neo has a specific attachment to one person which causes him to act "irrationally" and choose not to reboot. Badabing badaboom, now here we are.
Also, the guy at the end was Bane, the guy that was about to stab Neo before they left and ALSO the guy we saw get overwritten by Smith ("Oh God!" "Smith will suffice"). Also all the people telling you the reason Neo has powers "outside the Matrix" is because the real world is just another Matrix are 100% wrong. His powers aren't even technically in the real world. I'll leave it at that since explaining more would spoil the third movie. It'll be interesting to hear what you think of Revolutions, since that's definitely the most controversial/ambiguous of the three films.
Also, if you're invested enough and haven't already watched the third film, watch a let's play of Enter the Matrix. It's a canon video game that was released the same time as the second film and is basically a sidequel to this movie that follows Niobe and her partner Ghost. It fills in some confusing parts of this and the next film and fleshes out a lot of the side characters who feature heavily in the third film. It's not really "necessary," so if you're not super into it you don't have to watch it, but it'll give you a better sense of the bigger picture.
As I said before you should at least watch it once. I totally understand if you never want to watch it again though. There's enough about it that is entertaining to see one time.
It's great that you watched the Animatrix because it does answer questions about the machines and what they were doing. And yes the one always looking for Neo was the kid in that segment. Oh the guy that did The Animatrix also did a cartoon back in the 90's that was shown on Sunday nights on MTV called Aeon Flux and there was a live action movie of Aeon Flux back in the early 2000's.
Most people who don't like parts 2 and 3 never actually understood part 1, and therefore expect (or are just accustomed to) dumb action movies like transformers. Those who get the philosophical and spiritual narratives woven into the story actually enjoy each successive part more than the last, those who don't are probably the same type who would watch only one of the lord of the ring movies.
Everytime you say "gooood morning, good evening, good afternoon" it makes me think of the movie The Truman Show (those of us who've seen the movie, YOU know what I'm talking about. Shh, no spoilers). If you haven't seen that one yet, you should definitely put it in a poll sometime, I'm sure it would eventually win. Maybe sooner than you think, depending on what you put up against it. ;-D
Oooo I've heard that that's a good one! On the list it goes
@@OGBReacts Indeed! My comment will make perfect sense once you watch it.
People are entitled to their opinions, but I have always loved all 3 movies. Yes, I think the first one was the best. But I love the sequels explaining the full story that we would never know without them. Much better sequels than other movies imo. Whenever I decide to watch The Matrix again, it's always all 3 movies every time. Great first time reaction, you never pick it all up on the first watch. It took me about 3 times to truly get it.
Thank you!
While Smith is a Virus version of his former Agent self he's no longer part of the system. However the system not only still has Agents of it's own there upgraded models so stronger and faster then before. So right now we got 4 factions, we got the Machine Empire that runs the world of the Matrix, We have Agent Smith who is a Virus taking over the Matrix and eventually every Machine connected to it. Then you have the people of Zion who them selves are technically of two factions the religious and the not. So Neo and his group, or the military guy and his.
Speaking of dystopian future movies featuring Hugo Weaving - you have GOT to watch V for Vendetta if you haven’t seen it yet.
You have to watch them. Reloaded is my fav! Some people didn't really understand things that happened & got bored. If you recognize what is actually happening with written hacking programs challenging other advanced computer programs, its very interesting & entertaining. Especially The program in the white suit. His arrogance & matter of fact conduct is a straight forward program dedicated to exactly how it was created by a programmer. Human or AI.
The biggest problem with the second and third film being so rough. Is that the studio pushed them to rush it off the success of the first movie. Ultimately it was supposed to be 5 films but the studio didn't think it could have been successful because trilogies were the norm. So so much was jammed packed and confusing for many. And the traditional story structure was lost making it an unbalanced pace. So all the important facts for the overall story were given screen time and character development screen time lost.
Fun fact: in the box set. They have commentary by a critic that praises the series and they allowed (which was cool) another critic to do negative commentary on it.
You've already bought the ticket. May as well finish the ride. See how far the rabbit hole really goes.
11:04 my favorite interpretation of this scene is that this guy is the login screen, a password entry
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night. You should watch *The Truman Show.*
Plus, i really like your reactions! You definitely are a caracter yourself haha
Give a go to the third please!
Anyway, reloaded and revolutions are in fact the same movie in two parts, you can't let it unfinished :P
I only recently found out there are people who don't like the "sequels". Had no idea. Everyone I've ever known has viewed the three movies as a trilogy with every part being as important. Just watching the first one would be like reading 1/3 of a book. The story has just get going in the first movie, like what are people even talking about? Watch the first movie only and don't find out how the story goes?
"Smithy's already inside."
*sees Bane, who she litereally saw getting taken over by Smith earlier*
"Who tf is that, just some random ass person?"
xD
THIS WHOLE SERIES HAS BEEN CONFUSING LEAVE ME BE AHHHH lmao
I had to watch the first movie three goddamn times before I had even the slightest grasp of what was going on.
13:35 , smith went from being a protector of the system to a virus ...
Ok what the Architect is saying is that the year is NOT what we think it is. In the first movie Morpheus says its nearly 150 to 200 years later then he thought it was while in the Matrix. In truth it's been Hundreds of years, there has been 5 other times they have let people out of the Matrix so far, however the Orical Did make a proficy about 1 who would put an end to the war, however the first 5 clearly chose to enter the mainframe and start over. Once they entered the codes in his head would be given to the machine and they could then kill zion. So yes the first 5 failed. Neo chose different. Plus he saved trinity, so clearly he defied the Architect twice already.
I find both sequels the same quality, they don't really stick the landing of the end, hence why so many people say it's worse then the second. Yet I still think it's worth watching.
"Why did she kill him, why did she let him run, why is he in the ladies room?"
Answers.
1. To give the other something to report.
2. To tell her husband what happened so she could spoil his good mood.
3. The woman who he gave that cake to is giving him the time of his life due to the effects of said cake.
No no I know all of that now haha I was just trying to be silly!
@@OGBReacts I know, I was just doing the same.
@@otakuwolf4ever985 It’s so hard to tell through text sometimes I’m so sorry 😩🤪
@@OGBReacts lol
Dude, I think the Matrix sequels are a bit underrated. It's not that people are dumb, it's just that nobody gives a shit about philosophy. LOL. But there are a lot of layers to them - I picked up on religious and philosophical undertones because at the time these movies came out, that's what I was into. I was a pretty straight-edge Youth Group kid, and I felt like it was my responsibility to remind people that faith isn't just something reserved for church and psych wards. (Like the Five Ones made me think of Moses, Abraham, Elijah, David, and / or whoever that was and that Neo was a representation of "Jesus" which deviated from the previous.)
I also really love how everything can be explained through computer terms - Smith was a program that got corrupted through a incomplete deletion, and then became a virus.
Smith is occupying Bane's mind outside the Matrix
And Neo can stop Sentinels at will outside the Matrix
It's so funny you kept asking who the guy was with the goatee. The movie should've made it more obvious, more scenes explaining how he was agent Smith.
The thing is, I initially/immediately thought it was! But wasn’t sure at all haha
Great bloody watch need to see more of the fights and music just a pity about copyright!m Also wtf at the cave, mud rave!
No matter what anyone says, you should finish the trilogy because Matrix 4 comes out later this year. I'm hoping the new movie will redeem parts 2 and 3. I'm at least excited to see a new matrix movie with modern-day CGI.
At least watch the 3rd one for completion sake. I enjoyed it.
I'd say watch the 3rd film because even though it's flawed, it's still a fun film to watch. Since you started the trilogy might as well finish it. But go into it with low expectations like you mentioned earlier!!
I don't think I'm ever going to get why people get so confused by what the Architect says. I understood everything my first time through. Maybe it's just my sci-fi wired brain.
It was the way he was saying it; I felt as though that whole scene was completely rushed and thrown together, honestly. It just went through one ear and out the other- BUT after editing this and listening to it again? I get it more
The guy at the end was Agent Smith. The guy who's body he took over in Matrix
Bane is my favorite part of the third film.
Commenters who go around telling reactors to not watch things just because you didn't like them seriously need to shut up and let them make that choice for themselves. Nobody is forcing you to watch these videos, if a reactor is watching something you know you don't like, just don't click on the video, simple as that.
YUPPPP!!! THANK YOU!
The first two are amazing. The third one was the weakest one of them all. Imo.
The artistic beauty of how they filmed the fight scene on the stairs....chef's kiss....😍🔥!
There are interesting ideas in the sequels. But for people to sit through two movies to see Neo end up in the exact same confrontation as he did at the end of the original...
Curly Que But still the same characters dunking it out with the same result, Neo winning. The question you have to ask yourself is - did the sequels have enough in them to warrant me sitting through two movies to see the same two characters fight again?
Do you remember the first man Smith changed into a copy of himself? He was a human in the real world that Smith infected. So a part of Smith is in him, controlling him. So the guy with the goatee is that human, so now Smith can be in the real world.
This movie has a whole bunch of cool action sequences--the whole freeway chase is phenomenal--but it's got a bunch of ideas that really aren't well explained or fleshed out and a lot of bits that are simply the movie wasting time. There's no real reason to care aobut the multi-Smith fight because it's clear at the end Neo isn't in real danger--he can just fly away anytime he wants to. The whole bit with the Architect could have been really interesting, but it's so needlessly convoluted that it just comes off as being self-indulgent. And so, as viewers, we're kinda left not caring about a lot of this stuff and the movie suffers. I feel like it's close to being a really cool sequel, but not quite there. I always think of the ghost twins as a good example of what's wrong with the movie. They're really cool and I love what they do, but it's not really explained who they are, why they can do what they can do, or what their motivation is. We're not really given a chance to care about them, aside from saying "wow, that looks interesting".
As for part 3, most of the film takes place outside the Matrix. Your enjoyment of the film depends heavily on how interesting you find that part of the story.
Something to keep in mind is that some of the film ends up on the cutting room floor. I can't find any information on how much was deleted from _Reloaded,_ but anywhere from 10 minutes to more than 30 minutes is not uncommon (and on rare occasions, 50 minutes or more). So we don't know how much was cut or what was cut; maybe some of those explanations you were looking for, were among the footage cut in editing. I'm not saying you're wrong, though. I'm just saying that maybe some of this stuff (like the twins) might have been explained and the explanation got cut. We'll never know, unless 'lost footage' is found at some point in the future.
This movie has the better action sequence of the entire saga: The chase in the highway.
May as well do _Revolutions,_ if only to see how it ends.
U have to think about the Architect of the Matrix this way. One day WE will create a matrix, when we're more advanced. All the ppl in it will think theyre real, and that their life is real, and their world is real. But its a created simulation. Some think we're already in a simulation. Thats what The Matrix did, was open everyones minds to the possibility. Freaky huh? It sure explains weird phenomenons and deja vu tho!
Not a humongous fan of the sequels but I gotta say I’ll watch you react to just about any movie! Love your channel!! Wish we could watch your reaction to the Animatrix!!
Ahhh this means so much thank you!!
@@OGBReacts you’re welcome!! Well, I’m glad you enjoyed the Animattrix regardless. But I do understand. Thanks for the awesome content!! I watch your channel religiously now.
@@rikky6ixx oh my goodness THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Once you've watched the second one, you may as well watch and put up the third one. They're basically one movie split in two, which is where a lot of their problems come from. Reloaded is all setup, and Revolutions is all payoff.
Personally, I think Reloaded is the worst of the three. Revolutions is busy busy busy, but it has resolution at least.
Always listen to your heart. People will tell you anything.
Honestly I love matrix reloaded because of the video game 😅
Enter the Matrix or Path of Neo? Because those two games came out during the time the sequels as well. Oh, and let's not forget to mention The Matrix Online.
