Boy - did I miss everything first time around!

Rating: Null/10 (27 October 2003)

For those who did not see it - SOME SPOILERS!!!
When I first saw this film I was disappointed. I thought that it skimmed around the really important things to bring us fight sequences and rub ILM in the face with the fact that they won the SPFX Oscar off Phantom Menace (though they shouldn't. CGI Neo and Smith - a terrible use of CGI, though this is my only gripe)- but then I bought Reloaded on DVD and I realised that this has a wealth of story and is a great movie after all.
Anyone who looks back at the original film sees that the script gives away the whole story in the first half, but you don't realise this until the second viewing. Reloaded is doing this for Revolutions. I now have seen this film several times and every time I see it brings something deeper and new.
Every character brings a clue to the whole mystery! Agent Smith and his parlous, connection with Neo, and the fact his change has not happened before.
The oracle when she says 'That we need to get there together' and how she started everything with Morpheous, Trinity and Neo - if Trinity didn't fall in love with Neo and enter the matrix when she did, Neo would of chosen the same path to not destroy the Matrix and rebuild Zion as his predecessor.
Morpheous - "nothing happens by accident!" Trinity being in the matrix and almost dying is no accident. It was to bring back the one.
There is so much more - see for yourselves. I cannot wait until Revolutions! This film suffers from the same criticisms as the Star Wars prequels - 1 story being told over a series of films, rather than connecting stand-alone films becoming a big story. Films that will ask questions but not give an answer till the last film, though this leaves some feeling confused or unfulfilled. This is a new and ambitious type of filmmaking - we the audience need to catch up. Role on Matrix Revolutions!
