Bad time to hear the Ted Bundy story on a podcast and then read this comment 😏
Is it just me or when Morpheus screamed and dived through the wall, why did I imagine the 'Old Spice' ads with the REALLY over muscled guy?
+NovaSeraAngel | The Catholic Gamer POWEEERRRR!!! IN A CAAAANN!!!
+Minarus Infernus BEARGLOVE!
+Minarus Infernus i'm more seripsed at the fact that its polystarinee and that the critic didn't pick up on it
I can't believe he didn't do an Old Spice joke with that scene.
Old Spice gives you 12 hours of Agent blocking POWWEEEEERRRRRRRRRR
Just when I thought every Matrix joke had been done, "I couldn't hear you over your clothes" cracked me up.
*incomprehensible squeaking of leather on rubber intensifies*
1:09 it's canon the critic's first name is nost
Dosent the Last name come first tho
It took me a year and having to type down the name to figure what shmuck was calling critic. Yup im that guy
So his name is: Nost Algiacritic ?
@@_12k70Apparently
Is it a coincidence that
Nostalgia critic has an N for Neo
Malcolm has an M for Morpheus
and Tamara has a T for Trinity...
Yes...I think it is.
David William rip
@@spawn760 That's ok because we can't fucking stand you random anonymous internet troll who no one gives a shit about.
@@spawn760 not as harsh as you said about Malcom and Tamara
Speaking of which, I wish NC would have used Malcolm for Morpheus, Tamara for Trinity and Cinema Snob for Cypher in the thumbnail
But nostalgia critic is not his name
Tom Anderson is the name of one of the founders of MySpace.
Make of that what you will.
Glitch
I hadn't even thought about that.
Also he's rich af and doesn't have the media bashing every decision he makes like Zuckerberg does. I'd take Tom's life over Zuck's any day. He's impossibly rich and virtually unknown.
MySpace is dead
I miss MySpace 😭
Yes...nobody would take Keanu Reeves seriously again...until John Wick came out
"You know...people have been asking me if I'm back"
"I'm thinking I'm back!!"
Yeah...im back
Im defnitly back
Joma Hawk They took seriously?
I still dont take him seriously even after watching John Wick.
Keanu Reeves saying "woah" is like Owen Wilson saying "wow" it's always gonna be part of his career
Aside from one being kinda funny and the other being literally half Owen's dialogue.
How he was more popular than Luke Wilson is beyond me. Neither are phenomenal but Owen seriously can't act.
@@natecw4164 did you forget about loki?
MONKEY!
Best part, Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith.
Any day
He's not gonna be in the fourth ☹
also, holy shit! a British actor doing an American accent that's actually convincing.
...Somehow that makes these films MORE dated...
I only realised that watching these reviews.
"Have you found Jesus?"
"No, I found Tom."
TallMist what's the difference
Aidan sucks at games an increased amount of leather and no spoons
TallMist I
Only 333 more likes to go! XD
Aidan sucks at games one isn't always wearing leather
3:54 "Have you found Jesus?"
Trinity: "Oh Shit!"
I couldn't breathe! xD
"Nevermind. From the sound I think you just did."
Yeah his name is Tom Anderson
+zyphoid666 oh shit, that's incredible
No. The Constantine joke was way funnier.
Yes, that was wonderful, especially, as I know you noticed, because of her name.
I thought it was pretty clear the train hit agent Smith, killed his host, and he jumped into another person who was on the train
Yeah, Walker likes to gloss over details for the sake of a joke sometimes. still funny though.
Exactly
To be honest i wanted the the film to end there because neo defeated smith by the train and then the finale fight feels un nedded drags the film
Yeah but, didn’t he only gain that power in Reloaded?
@@zanderbraincinemas6126 no, in the first matrix agents don't have their own digital bodies, they have to take over the bodies of someone who is jacked into the matrix. In reloaded he has been scheduled to be deleted, but has instead...uh...."mutated"? into a computer virus that is capable of "hacking"? others code to replicate himself. It's weird, but the body jumping is well established by that point in the film.
Fun Fact: The character Switch was supposed to be dual gendered. Female when outside the matrix and male while inside. Hence the name Switch. They scrapped the idea because they (rightly) assumed the general public couldn't handle it.
This is just so stupid because that idea is brilliant. XD
Ehh, I dunno. Star Trek DS9 got away with the whole Dax thing, and that show ended the same year The Matrix came out. Both things being sci-fi, I'm sure they could have made it work.
Debatable...Star Trek had an existing fanbase that the Matrix, being the first film in the universe, simply didn't.
Besides, look at the backlash against Kaitlyn Jenner, and that's only been in the past two or three years, with a person who was already somewhat famous.
+*** “yeldarb1983” ***
Kaitlyn Jenner is a bit of a different case. She's a celebrity in the "shallow assholes and gossip" world, no fucking shit there's gonna be backlash.
Another high-profile genderswap case is that of the Wachowskis themselves, and I haven't seen NEARLY as much hate for them as I've seen for Kaitlyn.
And just because Dax was part of an established franchise, doesn't mean she COULDN'T garner gender controversy. Remember the "lesbian" kiss scene? No trouble with a male in a female's body, but she better not kiss no ladies no siree!
+Michelle Lehto true, but with an established franchise, unless you do something REALLY insane (or counter to the universe in a fundamental way), it's not going to be make or break.
as for the wachoskis, as you pointed out, kaitlyn's career has declined into celebrity gossip/tabloid fodder and backseat to the reality show, where as the wakoski's are still getting work, (and probably riding the success of the matrix still).Plus didn't kaitlyn kinda come out first?kinda softens the blow not to be the first through the door, so to speak.
not that I'm a huge fan of Mrs(Ms?) Jenner, mind you, I still think her getting off that manslaughter rap was complete b.s., but that's the usual celebrity revolving door legal system at work...
I still love the original _Matrix_ all these years later but despite that, I do find this review *hilarious* and I admire your guts for taking such an unpopular stance on a well loved film. Oh and the _A Few Good Men_ parody near the end? *Priceless!*
I hated it and my one and only brother hated me for it. And regreted all the times I went into physical fights to protect him from bullies 😭😭
Same i love the original movies
Dude I don’t even consider the philosophical angles when I watching it. It’s all about the cool action scenes
I'm about to watch it after this👍
Yes but the idiot sheep who are the majority of people watching are just going to do or think what ever NC says, if he says the movie sucks, it sucks and they have no mind of their own to discern or know what they like rather than be told what to think and what to like and dislike. Sad really people can't think for them selfs anymore, for the most part.
Did people actually say the Matrix was the new Star Wars? So, when are the prequels coming out? I demand Agent Jar Jar!!
arbiter11171 Reloaded and Revolutions are at the same quality level with the prequels so there's that
arbiter11171 The actual Star Wars at the time was trash so I don't blame them
It came out at the same time as the Phantom Menace so it wasn't that big of a stretch!
How did you come to that conclusion? From what I know Star Wars was praised even back when it first premiered.
arbiter11171 well to be fair Matrix WAS the science fiction film people were raving over in 1999 unlike the much maligned and hated Phantom Menace
"Really? TOM????" Says the guy named Doug......
He ain't trying to save the world tho just make fun if movies
You look like Wilson the volleyball from Cast Away lol.
I know we’re all uniting to make fun of the things the Critic points out; but I always wondered if Agent Shmuck actually believes his first name is Nost and is his last name is Algia-Critic. Nobody ever acknowledges how dumb this is in the review or brings up what it references in the movie.
@@MASTERM016 I think it's just a joke
Jacey King he's not trying to save the world
The whole point of this joke was to make fun of a guy named Tom who is basically a ninja Jesus
The Matrix really is one of those movies that age TERRIBLY! just the look of this film, the leather outfits, the shades, the green filter, it's so late 90s, it's Cyber Punk light and it just doesn't hold up.
the only saving grace is the action, and this is what did hold up, the choreography, the movement and inventiveness of it all, but than again, other than novely it also wears off.
if only The Matrix wasn't such a grim and serious movie, and had it embraced a stronger color palate and a bit more of a satirical edge, maybe it would have help up. but than again, maybe those things would have held it back from being a truly cohesive movie.
+wizzzer1337 The odd thing is that it's simultaneously dated and kind of future-proof. Matrix itself is based on the 90s, so (at least for me) it still holds up as a pseudo-period piece.
+wizzzer1337 It was truly the epitome of 90s films lol.
+wizzzer1337 Totally. I found the first quite fun to watch, but the "philosophy" always was stupid in these movies. I never even noticed that people actially found this deep until someone complained about the later ones.
+wizzzer1337 I know right?! XD It only took an episode of the Nostalgia Critic to convince me into not liking another movie I enjoyed! Time to act like a pseudo intellectual and armchair-movie critic by nitpicking a movie I now hate! /*Jumps on bandwagon*
Fred Harvey I still like the movie, but in a different way, I like it as a time capsule... but compared to what i used to believe this movie was? it's not even close... also, long before NC ever pointed it out, I've seen the Matrix so many times (in the year 2000 when DVD players were still rather ealy, guess which movie was the MUST OWN?) I don't think my opinion on it comes from ignorace. also "pseudo-intellectual armchair something something"- that's actually a better description of the movie than the critic.
Tom Anderson is also the name of Beavis & Butt-head's elderly neighbor who was the semi insipration for Hank Hill.
Also the co-founder of Myspace!
Ain't you them boys that been whackin' off in my toolshed?
I love how the rebels also dislike the Matrix, but are not only cosplaying as two of the main characters, but act like them to.
Lost Knight Films That's the point, they turn on him in the last part.

I think the reason he said “I knew it. He’s the One” was because ultimately he was the one who wanted to save Morpheus and that despite being told he’d die before he’d ever succeed at that, he actually did succeed at it.
Not because he dodged a bullet just like an Agent?
Doug is an idiot, we know that. He nitpicks the hell out of everything because he can't understand it so it's easier to not understand and mock it. Using your brain is hard....
I actually never did understood the “He’s the One.” line during the scene. I mean what did Neo do exactly at that scene that showed that he was the One?
My name is Tom and I find this very offensive.
I'm find and I offensive this Tom.
He wasn't trying to be offensive, he just feels that the epicness of Neo being "The One" kinda gets sucked out that his name is Tom and he's suppose to save the world.
Lol
I have a friend named Jerry. I think you two will be great buddies!
Oh my...Tom....
Morpheus: ... as we gave birth to A.I.
Neo: A.I. What does the A stand for?
Morpheus: Artificial.
Neo: Oh. What’s the I...
Morpheus: Intelligence.
Neo: Oh... what was the A again?
I swear to god I’m gonna kill him
Don't you mean Tom?
I see you're a man of culture as well
Your toast has been burned.

"Just because it's symbolic and means stuff doesn't make it automatically good" - NC. You hear that BvS fanboys?
fans of that movie love to cram in the idea that scenes from BvS have more layers than the movie let's on, especially that Martha scene. And while these are somewhat use of symbolism and whatnot, it ultimately doesn't make the movie good
+Oracle of Games
Hah, Exactly! Nailed it!!
Yeah I heard it and hes got a point.
What the hell is BvS?
Most DC fans ssy "Well you gotta read the comics to get it" ...ok, then it's not a good movie...and BvS was so bad we left the cinema before finishing it, we finished it later, but god was it bad!
"Why is there a Matrix": maybe the machines were harvesting energy from human bodies directly from brain activity, since other muscles and organs in the bodies are undeveloped and weak due to lack of physical activities, hence they needed to have the brains stimulated, and the Matrix in its present form turned out to be the most effective form of a simulation.
Key word: "maybe"
That's a good idea. It's also because the machines need humans to give them a purpose. It goes into this existential philosophy more in the sequels. The delivery of that philosophy wasnt the best though
But even that makes the Matrix redundant. If you use humans as an energy source, you have to keep them alive to be able to interact with the Matrix to produce energy. Pumping oxygen, pumping nutrients, producing the nutrients, temperature regulation, all require an energy source. Not to mention the Matrix itself needs an energy source just to function. Even if the machines managed to achieve the highest theoretical energy conversion rate of 99.999999%, they STILL would run out of power no matter how many humans they kept adding to the system. Geothermal, wind and hydroelectric power would solve all energy issues, plus, no need to keep rebellious humans around. Heck, go to space! All the solar energy you can choke down out there!
I like to think they use human brains for their processing power, with part going to the matrix and the excess used by the machines. That way people like Neo and Morpheus found a way to keep all their own processing power to themselves which gives them more control over the matrix.
But why have a VR world ? Just put them in a deep sleep
Fun fact: That hidden 1-up in Mario actually does serve a purpose, it's to prevent players who are speeding through the level without looking where they are going from falling into the pit in front of them. It's kind of brilliant level design, actually.
Mister Bristles Gaming I spent a good 20 minutes trying to see if anyone noticed that mistake too. Props to you man!
If he's called mr.algia critic... does that mean the nostalgia critic's first name is Nost
he just wanted something with the "A" sound,to mimic the Mr.Anderson name
Most... what a common name
I don't know why I kept thinking that - Mr. Algia Critic so Nost will save us
It's an anagram....
..for Snot
Alnost believed it
The hell you got against the name Tom
Edit: yes, my name is Tom
Hello fellow Tom
Tom is a very power name. Cerrrrrrtainly much more threatening than doug.
Its like Bob, Jose, Mary, those names just speak loveless child.
@Nealen the Nerd my name isn't Tom
I'm Tom too. and this felt weird.
That Tom joke aged quite nicely given how Smith's reincarnation refers to Neo by that name in Resurrections.
Too bad that movie is by far the worst of the bunch.
@@JoakimOtamaa While I would agree that I don't like the movie as much as the original trilogy, I still enjoyed the new Resurrections film.
@@andrewwang8021 These sequels after a long time rarely work. Same with Indiana Jones and Star Wars. As a kid I loved The Matrix Trilogy as a whole, the action was enjoyable for a kiddywink, even with PS2 quality CGI. The new one had some cool ideas, the execution just didn't work too well. It felt like the movie was made just cash in on Reeves' current star power.
@@JoakimOtamaa True. Also, I hear that the director made the movie in memory of her parents, which is why the love story between Trinity and Neo was so heavily emphasized.
@@andrewwang8021 Triny and Tom just don't have that good chemistry in these. Carrie Ann and Keanu are likeable and good actors with a right director and script for sure.
i respect dougs opinion. I think he has allot of great points. But i still like the movie.... maybe its nostalgia.
no, it's nostalgia critic.
I don't love this movie and can't get enough of this review, but I find The Matrix kind of fun to watch, so ... :)
i don't think he's trying to force a change of opinion, just sharing his lol
No one says you couldn't
I watched this film again a month after this episode was first posted. I did really like it but found it to be pretty flawed in some ways. It does get pretty darn pretentious at times, to name one example.
I never got this whole 'Neo is an anagram for One', I always assumed it was supposed to be Latin for 'new'.
You mean Greek.
Nocturnalux I would have thought that too. But then again the bad guy of this film is named Cypher
Nocturnalux Same.
Its...both?
Its both... derp
I don't mind the "I don't like the Matrix" bit but I feel a lot of these criticisms are nitpicky and sometimes it sounds more like Nostalgia Critic doesn't like the movie because of the rabid fanbase rather than problems with the movie.
A lot of the "plotholes" and such do require some suspension of disbelief, but this is true for almost any major movie. Star Wars had tons of things that reached pretty far and only later got explained away in extended materials.
I think it comes down to the things you didn't like about the movie weighed heavily enough that you were unable to overlook them to see the movie's overall value.
Well here's the thing, the most recent Star Wars movie came out in 2018 with another one coming this December.. When was the last time a Matrix movie was made again?
@@predatorgamer4607 your point being?
@@Fbiguy sorry wrong reply I thought this was a different thread. My point being is that If the Matrix is so good.... Why does it only have 3 entries. As opposed to Star Wars and it's soon to be 9 entries. And those are just the movies.
@UCBv7_0JjLpcbSd2gwxHykLg Anakin was created through the midichlorians by Darth Plagueis, Darth Sidious' (Palpatine's) master. This is mentioned in Episode III Revenge of the Sith the scene mentioning this is actually quite a popular meme. I believe the words are somewhere are along "Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise?"
@@predatorgamer4607 There are plenty of great movies that end up not getting the attention they deserve and there are plenty of bad movies that end up starting bad franchises (just look at the transformers movies).
In my opinion both Star Wars and The Matrix are good and both have had a large influence on pop culture. The original Star Wars trilogy had 3 strong movies that kick-started the franchise. The Matrix had a very strong starting movie but 2 and 3 were weak enough to tank the franchise so we're not getting anymore of it.
Just because there's no more Matrix movies doesn't mean it's influence on pop culture is gone, just look at how many movies were imitating the action and style of the Matrix after it's release and how that's carried through to today.

Rohan Sharma it was lol not to mention that the name tom just sounds so bland and just happens to be his name
Urban Kitsune In the movie's context it was
He was just saying it's not particularly unique or intimidating.
الله
I just realized it's kinda interesting that Toms name is so boring because it emphasizes how even though he's super generic he is, he becomes Neo through his own actions. Like you are who you make yourself not who you are born
very insightful
Except he doesn't become Neo through his own actions but through the actions of others and is literally the chosen one.
@@emmanueludoidung5745 The Matrix is a movie all about choices. Neo makes two major choices, he chooses to learn about the Matrix at the beginning, and he chooses to save Morpheus at the end. The movie goes into extreme detail about why he made those choices, what resists him making those choices, and what the consequences of those choices are. This is key to understanding the movie's appeal.
@@handsomebrick In that case the Matrix is a movie about lack of choice as there were so many other places where Neo could have made a choice and didn't. The idea of choice is nothing new nor is it something that needs to be 'understood' as it is blindingly obvious and has been done ..... wow like half the movies out there really. The movies appeal....at least what made it famous was that it was a western version of Ghost in the Shell, just....not as good. Really I don't see the Matrix as pretentious so much as I see them trying to ape ghost in the shell's depth without really understanding it. The other 'appeal' was the cool over the top fight scenes. I was in high school when the Matrix came out and yet I still had a bunch of friends who would fast forward to the fight scenes.
@@emmanueludoidung5745All movies have choices, but movies that are about choice focus on very few (often only one!) so they can analyze them in extreme depth. I'm not saying that the Matrix is special, movies about choice aren't rare (many chick flicks are about choice for example), I'm just saying there's a reason that people like it. The style is just the exterior; people don't cosplay as Harry Potter and Hermione and Voldemort because they want to look cool, they like the connection to the story, if the Matrix was just weird fight scenes it wouldn't have become popular.
i still love the matrix, but, i see your point.
It's rare to find people like you, and I like that you exist.

That was beautiful.
To answer to the last point, "Why is there a Matrix", in the original script by the Wachowskys the humans were not supposed to be batteries, but processing units. The machines would be using most of the brain's capacity for their own uses, which is why they needed to keep it functional. The Wachowkys admitted as much in several interviews, but apparently the studies thought people wouldn't understand, as the general public was not yet as versed in computers by then. To paragraph a character from the webcomic Goliath by Neil Gaiman (in which the Wachowskys were extensively involved in writing):
"I made the mistake of telling Susan some of what I believed one night - about how none of this was real. About how we were really just hanging there, plugged and wired, central processing units or just cheap memory chips for some computer the size of the world, being fed a consensual hallucination to keep us happy, to allow us to communicate and dream using the tiny fraction of our brains that they weren't using to crunch numbers and store information."
Kanz Red Dusk But that is still a bad plot device. I mean why would they allow the matrix to exist at all especially at that capacity. Couldn't they just input a reality that stimulates the brain but gives humans no skills whatsoever (they could think they're children or bugs). Sorry but the matrix is still a useless plot device.
I feel like most problems are addressed if you look at it through the double matrix theory. The "real world" is just a second simulation
But that is really just a cop out
And the central point of the review is proven! Gibber, gibber, claptrap
Everything about this script was insulting to Will Smith .
Now it makes sense why they can control enviroment to this extent -- they calculate it themselves, of course they have at least some power over their brains.
Window tidal wave...
Fun fact: If you slow down glass breaking enough, you can actually see it shatter that way, so that part was scientifically accurate.
However, to slow that down enough to show that happen like that, Trinity would have been appearing as though she wasnt moving, so it's still a flub. Just not the way you think it is.
You're welcome.
Carry on
It’s the Matrix, there was lag.
fun fact: the window tidal wave wasn't cgi, it was real windows, tho a specific types.
Wow that sounds like something MatPat would say.
you do realise it was NEO that was making the windows do that while Trinity moved in real time right ? hence the "I knew it, he's the one" line... really baffles me how so few people see this, plus the way that when Trinity slams at full swing into the glass of the building of which Neo is on the roof of, it doesn't shatter.. very big macguffin's but that's the one for you...
@@SIR1U5 was never explained or referenced ever again though. So not exactly obvious
Despite how anyone feels about the matrix movies individually or as a whole we can all agree that these movies helped launch one of hollywoods most down to earth and wholesome celebrities into the public eye.
No, they didn't. He got more star power after Point Break, but Speed was the movie that was his breakout role.
You're both ignoring Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure which came out in 1989, way before any of those films. THAT was the surprise hit that put Reeves on the map. Everybody was crazy about that movie at the time and now nobody mentions it just because it's a comedy, and fans want to see Reeves as this gritty, serious action star.
Is this nostalgia critic or cinemasins?
i noticed it too while watching cinemasins matrix
Except Jeremy from Cinemasins is very open about the fact Matrix is his favorite movie.
He's both.
exactly .... i was feeling kind of at odd with some of his points and now i know why. It's just taken too far, that this clip can no longer be tagged as a legitimate criticism that could point out potential drawback. Instead it warped into something what cinemasins do. I mean u will agree onto almost all the negative things/ mistakes that "cinemasins" guy comes up with, but at the end of the day i would never factor in everything that he pointed out to tag the movie. It is just fun to watch or hear those silly mistakes that doesn't affect the movie on the whole at all or its effect is negligible and that's all there is to it.
It's "nitpicking", i'm sorry i have to write all those sentences, while in actuality i was trying to find this particular word :p.
The humor of Cinema Sins is so low it barely gets a snort outta me. Nostalgia Walker on the other hand is consistently funny, entertaining and worth watching. Ah don't always agree with him reviewing/criticizing/making fun of movies ah consider just dump, harmless escapist fun no matter how reasonably bad they are according to most if not all, critics & public alike but at least he IS willing to show his face in his reviews and he is funny. Jeremy on the other hand... gah, ah can't even stand his voice anymore. E.W.W is becoming a guiltier pleasure of mine by the episode.

you really can sum up the matrix as something that was fun to watch but never should have been taken THAT seriously.
It was a new and novel concept at the time. Very common for novel concepts to be much more popular when they are new. Obviously if it came out today in an over saturated genre it wouldn’t be taken anywhere NEAR as seriously.
@@SmolAndAngyyybut there were like 6-7 other films that did the same thing; the Matrix just had a bigger budget
True that it's a movie from a different era, and it being that makes the experience more amazing.
However, as Cinemasins says in every video: "No movie is without sin".
Just to be clear guys, he didn't say it was a bad movie, just that he doesn't understand the pedestal it's put on. As someone who appreciates the Matrix for many things it managed to do quite well but doesn't think of it as the best movie of all time, I enjoyed watching this comical review without assuming he wanted me to change my opinion. Don't get mad at someone just because they're expressing an opinion you don't like.
Thank you for that.
Sophie Goodman-Merel it's a rip-off of Dark City anyway
It's actually relatable, when people hype something too much, you end up setting your expectatives really high, and by the time you watch it, you can get really nitpicking about the tiniest detail.

Yes

In fairness to the movie, they never said that the agents could dodge bullets from ANY distance, so Trinity being able to put a bullet in the agents head at point blank range was possible since he was distracted with trying to kill Neo.
I agree, but his complaint is that she didn't immediately fire, she gave a one liner first. That should have been a huge amount of time to move away given how fast they are...except when running. That is also weird.
The Matrix exists to keep humanity in a collective dream, one where they would never wake up.
walter conley True, but the machines could easily grow the humans under a medical induced coma so that way they can still provide the energy without having to worry about them waking up from the dream world.
Why do they need a matrix for that?
They needed the matrix to trick the mind into growing the human body so it could mature enough to create more human beings while benefiting from the perpetual energy the body gave while in the process.
Like Dark City, except with less mind-swapping, and the ones in control are less goth.
And Why do they need to keep humanity in a Collective Dream?
They can just keep everyone unconscious. They Don't need a simulation that networks into everyone's mind. In fact if they simply had everyone unconscious but no Matrix, there would be no possibility of rebellion.
I always assumed that the Matrix (the idea) was a final act of mercy from the machines. When Smith is interrogating Mobius, he said the machines tried to create a perfect world for humans through the first Matrix. But humans were so accustomed to pain and strife, they couldn’t adapt to it, and several died from the shock (which is silly in it’s own right).
I have to agree the whole humans dying from shock in a perfect world is silly...I mean....out dreams are technically perfect world for us
He didn't say they died from shock. It's implied that humans died of lack of motivation.
@@h.rtheater8321 Man, lemme show you like, 2 and a half dozen Star Trek Episodes with that. You'd......You'd be surprised how well they catch it.
@@Miscio94it wasn’t ‘lack of motivation’… Smith was commenting that the inherent flaws and imperfections in human nature which make us individuals and give us free will, caused the blue pills plugged into this ‘perfect world’ to reject the program, as though it were a dream that their brains were trying to wake them from.
You could draw a parallel to the Christian Genesis myth. The Garden of Eden was made to be a place where no one would suffer but human nature led to them being banished from the garden and out into the world.
The machines weren't so villainy. I agree.

" Take that, innocent security guards doing their job! Tell your wife and kids I said _f*ck you!_ "
This line right here... would be fitting in so many movies and stories. XD
I think when becoming a security guard or a guard in general you sign a contract where you acknowledge you are going to be serving bad guys and you will be killed by a hero eventually
It is almost like a promotion, the cycle closes
A guard that isn't killed by hero is considered a failure by his family
"Mister Alga Critic."
what if will smith had taken the role of neo instead of wild wild west? how would this movie be different?
+SouthCalifas619
It would be funny.
XenoSpyro he was offered the role before keanu. He turned it down for wild wild west
+SouthCalifas619 I think the movie would be wayyyyyyy worse.
1)Will Smith's acting is good. For this movie you need a guy that can't easily express emotions aka Reeves. Having a smart and emotional Neo would ruin the atmosphere.
2)People would go mad. Since Matrix's main theme is "Jesus" people would get mad with a "black Jesus" idea and even ignore the movie.
3)Reeves' awkwardness works fine here
For me the first movie was a masterpiece. I remember watching it in vhs countless times with my cousin and then playing while trying to do these crazy moves with our action figures.
4besideyouintime Indeed and personally I found the choice in that movie very interesting and funny but the difference is that BAM was a comedy and the main focus was Bruce.
The God in that movie wasn't a important character and to tell the truth the only reason I remember him is because of the actor (Morgan Freeman).
+4besideyouintime Because Morgan Freeman.
No one can argue with that. In fact, it's most fitting.
6:27 Sounds like Critic needs to watch more Tom Cruise movies. And Tom Hanks movies. And Tom Hardy movies. And Tom Brady highlights.
That "joke" annoys me so much, it's just a name, like fucking hell it doesn't have to be some grand heroic shit, a normal name everyone has can help us connect with the character and make him more human
+berry Box That's what's funny about it. It's an average name, and he's a seemingly average guy..... named Tom.
I think it's just more that Tom's so...generic. And it seems to be the only thing he seems to try and be relatable with, and everything else tries to make it a grand epic. It's so out of place that it's kind of laughable.
LOL, I saw what you did there xD
But seriously, "Groundhog Day" (1993) is still a better movie....... ;-)
+berry Box I never got this complaint he made fun of it once and calls him Tom for the rest of the trilogy. It's not he is constantly reminding everyone.

The color green in the matrix signifies the fabrication of that synthetic world compared to when they are on the ship when the green hue goes away to signify that they are no longer in the matrix. That was actually quite brilliant.
I read that Wachowsky's original idea was to make people within the matrix a cheap, EMP immune processors, since human brain is faster and can store more information than many modern computers. This is why people within the matrix had to be perfectly healthy and sustained. However the producers rejected the idea, claiming that this concept would be too difficult to understand for an average viewer. So they came up with an idea of making people simple batteries.
What's wrong with the name "Thomas" ... at least it's better sounding then "Dog Walker"
*Doug, and it's an actual name.
There's nothing wrong with it. I honestly felt like Critic was reaching with that one.
At least it's not Martha!

okay, I normally don't criticize critics for nitpicking, but that whole Tom thing really was a nitpick.

Ok, so the whole "tidal wave when glass is smashed" was always made fun of, but it turns out, it actually does happen. If you look up the Slow Mo Guys video where they throw a hammer through a mirror, you see that the glass actually does produce a shock wave followed by the glass actually shattering. So, it actually does make sense for the programmers of the Matrix to include it
THANK YOU! Glass does break like that if you have the right size and type, it is just physics. It happens extremely fast, but it works for a slow mo.
Never watched these movies so don't know the plot of the second or third movie. That said, it may be cliché but why not have the reason the humans are kept alive in the matrix world be not only for the machines to harness their energy, but also their creativity. AI might be intelligent, but could never match the creative nature of humans as a large portion of human creativity is birthed from being able to think outside the box in a manner that machines would find illogical. So it would not suit the machines to just make them brain dead or dream as without access to the illogical side of human consciousness they would never be able to solve novel problems that require true human creativity. That would be a lot better reason than what was described here, at least in the first movie.
What a stupid idea
year late but kinda, the reason is they use the human brains as cheap processing power but try explaining that to 1999 audiences
They originally wanted that in the movie but the budget couldn’t allow it
Ur correct. This is why The Oracle is always meeting with humans. To observe their behavior as well as influence their actions through suggestion and code written cookies she feeds to people.
It was tinted green to make it look like you were watching it on a old computer
@vulkan435 ...Perfectly dated.
And it's only there for scenes in the Matrix, not scenes in the real world, so the real purpose is to cue the audience to feel differently about the two realities the same way the characters do.
It's a "visual language" technique lots of movies use to distinguish between different settings/time periods/etc. within the same story.
And was done so after they decided to make it green in the sequels.
Then why was the ship and sewers blue, and Zion yellow?
This review is nitpicking at almost every scene. If you go by this logic, you will find someone to criticize in every God damn movie.
I know right. I respect his opinion, but he is just going over board. I could find as many problems in movies he loves.
I can see how someone might not like a flick but he's grasping at straws here. This whole video gives an unflattering immature image of himself. I dont know if Matrix fans beat him up in high school, but he needs to keep the personal issues of the board when doing these.
And this is you in complete denial. Of course he was nitpicking in a couple of scenes but the movie does have major flaws.

The waves on the building are actually pretty believable. In a simulation like this, with practically every atom in the world needing to get simulated, you gonna have to simplify stuff. Like buildings, which are programmed to stand there, not explode (it not a battlefield map, u know). The simulation will have possibilities for explosions, but they gonna load. Basically, the program is buffering the time until the actual animation is loaded. And those waves are easy to animate, because only the basic textures are needed
So the Matrix which can handle the actions of billions of humans all doing different things simultaneously cannot handle a building exploding?
It can handle cars exploding, helicopters exploding, but not buildings?
Also that is not how buffering works, if it was buffering there would be no animation at all before the explosion, certainly not a building wave that actually probably took more special effects than the explosion itself.
@@emmanueludoidung5745 The buildings were optimized to be static objects; when they need to be animated in such a short span of time corners need to be cut.
@@tiagotiagot Again that is not how programming works. In order for there to be a ripple animation, someone or something needed to sit down and create the ripple animation, which would actually be harder than just creating an explosion.
If it was a case of cut corners then either there would be no animation at all or a shoddy unfinished animation. There would NOT be a shiny, flashy, well made ripple.
Especially since the matrix was shown to have lots of explosion and destruction animations that could have been used as stand ins, wheras that is the only building ripple animation that we see.
Nothing happens 'naturally' on a computer. Everything has to be made. If you fail to do something then the computer just does nothing, it doesn't have some naturally occurring backup.
@@emmanueludoidung5745 Applying a sine wave into a texture radially is much simpler than calculating the fracturing of several solid objects of various different shapes and materials. The shockwave animation is ready to be displayed way before the system figures out how to break things and perform the fluid simulations for the fire, smoke etc.
@@tiagotiagot Except the system was already and had already been doing said animations. Wheras the shockwave would require entire new code. Especially if as was said previously the buildings were meant to be static. It's like going into A random COD game and doing an explosion...easy. Try doing a ripple glass effect, with reflections, refractions, etc. The engine would have a seizure, just on the lighting.
One of the few movies where Keanu Reeves isn't named John
Actually, watching the scene of Morpheus slamming his head into the toilet, you can see the crack outline on the toilet before he hits it
the same thing happens when Smith punches through stuff during the metro fight scene.you can also see the ropes Keanu is holding when he backflips his way out of the metro tunnel.
I saw that too.
5:01 "no, really. you could impale me on metal wires i'll still make this face."
that foreshadowing.
I mean, I get the humor behind the joke here. However, THOMAS, going with The Matrix's religious themes, was the name of the disciple of Jesus who is known as "Doubting Thomas" in that he didn't believe Jesus was resurrected until he put his finger on the crucifixion wounds before accepting he was truly back.
And Neo is "doubting" his life inside the Matrix before being set free to see the truth. He also doubts he's "the one", but only manages to become who he was meant to be when he stops waiting for a sign ("You got the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something... ") and acts upon his own free will. And of course, he stops being "Thomas" when:
"Goodbye, Mr. Anderson..."
"My name.... IS Neo."
But Neo isn’t the One, Smith is
Nooooo..your name is Tom Anderson as it state on your birth certificate...Neo is your nickname....ok....also...you don't know what E,M,P is...really!!!!
I suppose he could be hiding behind the door.............but that just wouldn’t add up! 😂🤣😂🤣
Who the hell watched The Matrix for the themes? It's all about the style and the action. Any movie with people in trench coats beating the shit out of each other will be a lot of fun.
Too bad the style and action looks silly as fuck.
too bad you comment is stupid as hell.
My comment is true.
Yes. That’s the same exact reason why I love both Matrix and 300 which has been shat upon multiple times.

Nuclear power would be less of a hassle.
+TenguBE In movie the real earth is a hollowed out shell. It stands to reason that they ran out of domestic nuclear materials and even regular materials e.g. petroleum products, so they had to settle on what resources they had.
+suddenwall Where does the gravity come from if earth is hollowed out? Where does the air come from? Why isn't the atmosphere being stripped away by the sun because of no magnetic field? Every answer just raises more questions.
+Martin Owens Those are legit points but the easy answer is that the "real world" of the matrix works differently than ours.
+TenguBE I know this doesn't really count as canon but I think it was originally intended that humans provided an advanced neural network for the computers but it was 'too complicated' as computers only started mass use at that point.

I love how Schmuck calls the Nostalgia Critic “Mr. Algia Critic”. 🤣🤣
My response to this:
-The colour green is because they are in the matrix, a subtle reference to the artificial world it is, green like the computerscreens of the movie.
-Yes, the special effects are not perfect by today's standards, this movie was made nearly 20 years ago.
- "my own personal Jesus Christ", yes, the movie spells it out the whole way through, "you are the one Neo", then reels it back when he fails the jump, when the oracle says he is missing something etc. it is about doubting yourself versus the expectations of others.
-His name is Tom...so what?
-No, the agents cannot do everything, Morpheus says it very clearly "they are based in a world that is built on rules." Cause what happens if the system makes the agents too powerful? Agent Smith shows what happens, when he threatens the very system itself.
-Yes, Agent Smith notices her, and therefore she drives away, it is in the clip you show.
-That device is clearly future technology, who knows the way they have to heal wounds, reduce pain in the future.
-the mirror dissolves cause his signal is getting disrupted, causing a lot of disruption in his connection to the system. That is how I interpret it. Or do you need all movies to explain everything to you on a silverplate?
-the pill's disruption makes the machine falsely assume he is dead, he is flushed to where the dead go, and they rescue him. Also, the revolution is necessary for the system to work, this is explained by the architect, which is why the system allows it.
-No, he doesn't have to be reminded, Tom explains what it means himself, to make sure they are talking about the same thing. Morpheus has access to so much technology Tom has never seen before, so it is not surprising Tom wants to make sure Morpheus means artificial intelligence when he says A I.
-The shock to the mind causes bleeding resulting in damage. Yes, this part is weird, but what do I know about how virtual reality affects the brain and the body with technology from the future. The science maybe doesn't make much sense to us, but "you die in the game you die for real." This is a valid critique point.
-him finishing her sentence is pretentious and dumb?...this is nitpicky reaching for straws imo, but whatever, he runs a comedy show, so at times it's his job.
-He doesn't know what EMP stands for, sue him.
-Yes his character doesn't have a lot of personality. Cracked explained the reason for this perfectly, explained very briefly it's about the audience being able to project themselves in his place. It is a technique used by many, many movies, show, books etc (Harry Potter, Star Wars, Twilight etc. watch the cracked video about it, they explain it perfectly). Not liking it is a legitimate criticism, I'll give you that, as it is not to everyone's taste. Or maybe Keanu is just a shitty actor, that's an explanation too.
-yes, it is not a perfect movie, it is just imo the best movie yet. If you like another movie better, it's perfectly fine, and you are entitled to your opinion.
-no, you had gunfire in the beginning too. Not really important, but whatever.
-He has to fight an opponent he knows he has no chance of beating, and is sacrificing himself, I think most of us would freak the fuck out in that situation, so him yelling is not really that insane.
-the toilet headslam criticism... well, it's a comedy show...
-I agree with you on that one, that character in white is extremely underdeveloped, so her death doesn't really have much impact. This is true for most of the non-essential characters. Legitimate criticism.
-He got lucky and didn't die from the electricity gun, sue him. Or the system preserved him to make sure Neo survive if you view it from the angle of Zion being in a matrix too. Multiple interpretations is one of the reasons so many people like this movie.
-If you find Weaving's speeches boring, then this movie is probably not for you, which isn't the movie's fault. But whatever, comedy show.
-Yes, that scene is interesting as it greatly shows one of the major flaws in their cause, killing people for the "greater good", a topic of debate as old as language.
-That "any distance" thing is never said, you made that up. the Quote is "men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air." Yes, she says a catchphrase which should give him time to dodge, they sacrifice logic for action movie coolness here, it's a legitimate criticism, but then again, in a the world inside the Matrix where people are jumping 50 meters and cartwheel firing an m16 on full-auto with one hand while hitting with great precision, logic is not high on the agenda of the action scenes. It's a legitimate criticism though.
-"Speed of light movement" is something you made up. You really think that dodging a semiautomatic handgun and dodging a fucking gatling gun is equally easy? Morpheus said it before, their powers are based on rules, they are not all-powerful, otherwise it would be a short movie.
-he is ripping a handcuff chain apart with the handcuffs gnawing into his arms, obviously it is painful, you can even see the red marks on his wrists, so he is screaming in pain. But whatever, comedy show.
-he thinks the way Tom saved her is badass, so he believes he is the one. Different people have different criteria for whether they believe he is the on or not. For example, Morpheus believed it right from the start.
-"We spill out everything else for the audience, why stop now?"... really? Oh well, comedy show.
-Yeah, that is pretty shittily done by Trinity, I'll give you that.
-It is not nothing but talking the first half, and not all fighting the second half, that is just objectively false. But whatever, comedy show.
-he takes over the body of someone in the train, it is not logic of merry melodies, it is a very established ability they have throughout the movie, and you mention it several times in the video, so you know they have it.
-No, the system brings him back, cause he has to restart the Matrix cause that is the purpose of the One. Or it is the power of love. Or it is because his power as the one transcends life and death, which is repeated when he revives Trinity. Many interpretations, which is, as earlier stated, one of the reasons people like this movie.
-She is trying to hide that she loves him. If you cannot understand that, you have a lot to learn. Love and chemistry are two very different things, this is not a romcom.
-Simba, being original, doesn't not mean every single thing is something never seen before in the history of mankind. But whatever, comedy show.
-You don't like Keanu Reeve's acting, legitimate criticism.
-Agent Smith explains it while he is "boring Morpheus into submission." The machines tried to create a perfect world with no problems. He explains how "it was a disaster, no one would accept the program, entire crops were lost." Here it is explained that for the humans to produce the energy the machines need, the humans need a believeable world to live in, otherwise they die. Maybe this is a result of the fusion process the machines use (mentioned by Morpheus when explaining the world of the machines), maybe it is caused by something else, but the necessity of the matrix system is explained in the movie.
Or maybe it is cause the machines secretly value the potential of humans (Neo defeats Agent Smith, which the machines couldn't, and they know that other problems could arise that would require a human mind to solve, so they keep the humans mentally working as a backup measure in case such a problem arises.
Or maybe it is cause the machines don't want to be like the humans themselves and have humans as mindless slaves, as humans has treated machines (If you watch the animatrix, you see that the machines tried to make peace with the humans, the humans started the war, so the machines are not pure evil, a theme also seen in many movies involving intelligent machines and robots, including the Terminator).
Or maybe something else, there are many different interpretations and explanationsfor the different things in this movie, you being unable or unwilling to see them doesn't make it a plothole.
Yes, this movie has flaws, as do all movies, there is no such thing as perfect. Many people like it cause it inspired them, made them think in new ways, question things, interpret things in different ways, and that is why it is in my opinion a masterpiece. If it didn't do that for you or you just didn't get it, it's fine, but that's not the movie's fault, and doesn't make it any less of a masterpiece, it just means it's not for you.
And yes, I'm a Matrix fanboy, but I have tried to make sober arguments in my answers and maintain a good tone, hope you do the same.
DarthSironos too long
You are the most likely person i can believe that argument from. It's really cool how you explain it. (The Why they need the Matrix?) Still, it's bullshit the thing about the robots needing energy from us.

I actually avoided this review because I thought it was going to just mindlessly praise the film, like everyone else does. I just want to say, it's very refreshing to find someone else who feels the same way I do about this movie!

I totally agree that it often comes off as pretentious and overly philosophical.

Yeah, as soon as my brother saw the "Neo is revived because love" scene, he said it would've been better if she had said "You can't be dead, because I don't love you yet".
Think about it this way-from her point of view, these are the facts:
1. She will fall in love with the One
2. Neo is the One
3. She doesn't love Neo
As such, if he's dead, she wouldn't have any time to fall in love with him, which means he can't be dead-it's factually impossible. This would mean that he wasn't revived by a 1985 Huey Lewis song, he just survived being shot a whole bunch because he's the One, and that's one of the things Morpheus said the One can do. All of the stupidity is eradicated by her admitting her LACK of infatuation for him, rather than, to repeat myself, ThE POWEr oF loVE!!!1!1!11!1
TL;DR: Tough. Read it anyway, lazy. I'm not your puppet.
I love that idea.
It's not "the power of love" that brings him back, the kiss just showed him that he isn't dead, he is still alive on the ship. This was foreshadowed in a scene earlier in the movie where Morpheus tells Neo "What is real?", Neo coming back in the end brings this idea full circle that the Matrix is not real, it's just a program in his head.
@@socklock1957 Wait, so you're saying that Neo thought he was dead like some kind of f*ckin apocryphal blindfolded crocodile, then Trinity kissing him made him realize "oh sh*t I'm not dead after all"?
Because, to me, that makes less sense than love.
Also, it's made very clear that, if you die in the Matrix, you die in real life-whether you're the One or not.
Thats one of the best ideas I've ever heard!

Like CinemaSins says: "No movie is without sin." And Nostalgia Critic has found a lot of them here!
Cinemasins is a hack
Didn't they explain in the movie that the machines discovered that they needed something like the matrix to keep the human "batteries" alive and healthy? They made it sound as if the humans needed to have a virtual life in order to "thrive" and live a long, power-producing life. They also said how they tried out several versions of the matrix until they found one that worked best and kept the humans the way they wanted them. Obviously, this shouldn't be scientifically accurate, nor is the idea of using humans to generate power, but it is just enough to get the story going. You give sci-fi a bit of a break sometimes with how the science works or why certain things are done. It if is just good enough for a couple hours of suspension of disbelief, you are good to go.
I remember when the Matrix came out but still in elementary school. When I saw it I was in college and I thought it was actually a really boring movie. The action scenes were fun but the dialogue was like someone who wrote a basic sentence and then used the thesaurus to replace every other word using the biggest and most complex sounding words they could find.
+DramaHateNation I said I saw it in college. I was 20 when I watched it for the first time. I don't think it's a bad movie but I think its influence is a bigger legacy than the quality of the movie.
I think the matrix catered more to the non social folks, than the social outgoing ones. Basically people who shy away from social interactions or events and prefer to spend there days at home or somewhere non interactive. Which may explain Keanu's dull indifferent attitude through out the film. Those who are outgoing may not care much for his character cause they can't relate to him while those who aren't outgoing might.
The movie presented a cool-ass idea, but clearly was banked more on the action scenes.
-Yet, the acting-wait, there was acting? Somehow the fucking *AI* have more personality than the *humans*. -Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame somehow can make a clever metaphor than this pretentious film.
-The film thinks by having the characters be stilted and wear impractical shades so they don't have to try acting, and wear coats is cool. It's not. It's fucking boring. You want to see a calm badass in a coat? Watch Fate/Zero.
-I don't like the slow motion.
- Fucking Bella and Edward have more chemistry.
-The machine-like dialogue.
Don't you think that there was no civil war between robots and humans? Humans could just destroy the Earth and put themselves into the matrix. They made the robots to serve this system until the Earth will be habitable. It explains all stupid things in the movie.
In this case, the rebels are just a bunch of freaks threatening the humanity, and robots have to destroy them. It even explains why everybody says weird thing and wear weird clothes)
Except, the animatrix happened.
That implies the writers were actually more creative and not pretensious
i like this theory
Also, that theory sounds suspiciously similar to Wall-E.
His name being Tom is not a flaw with the movie. Also, agent Smith did see Trinity on her motorcycle, but he didn't bother to chase her because he already caught Neo and knows that she won't follow them since she's been spotted.
