Why so many fight scenes?

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2003)

I must say that it was sort of like watching a porn film. Not so polished plot, with gratuitous fight scenes every five minutes or so. I thought it was plain silly that Neo had to fight that dude before seeing the oracle. If he knew where to go and who to see, why did he need to prove who he was? Everyone else in the WORLD recognizes Neo, why doesn't the one person who is expecting a visit from him know who he is? Silly.
