a new plot i expected

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2003)

Spoiler I just wanted to say that I feel a lil stung and disappointed by the whole thing. The original matrix went to the top of my list for all time greats, but what made it work? I mean c'mon everyone, it had everything from action to love, sci fi to fantasy, but the most crucial element....it was all wrapped up and delivered in an old but fantastic storyline....love conquers all.
And they delivered it brilliantly, it satisfied all of us. From geek to stud, we all loved it. Neo became a God and we whooped in his awesomeness.
So what happened???
Regardless of what we all say, the ending not the lead up let us down...reloaded left it balanced on a knife edge...this way or that which way is it going to fall?
I will not try to whip a dead dog back to life, I can only give you what I had hoped would be the answer....that Neo would reproduce what he did in the first and go on to be even more than just a bullet stopper, more than having to actually fight anymore. That he would become the embodiment of human evolution and stun the machine world by showing human development at its best. I thought they touched on that with the ending of the sequel by showing his powers develop into the real world. I thought that regardless of all the plot this and that, he would rise to find a new found power that made him the ultimate god who beat the crap out of everything with a mere thought. The original left us with that feeling slightly and I just wished they had Neo come unto an even powerful understanding of it all. I mean he couldve been the one stage of human evolution that said "all right, this has gone on long enough and I have had enough"
I for one wouldve just liked to have seen him come unto a power, maybe caused by Trinity's death that turned him into an almighty God that maybe even assimilated the source after raising his hand to Smith in that 15 minute battle scene and saying "NO" before deleting his ass of the planet. Then back into the real world where he lifts of into the air chasing the source around before assimilating it and controlling the machine world once and for all. A shot of him lifting Trinity into his arms and flying her back to Zion with all the squiddies making a path of defeat and respect for him as he goes. (C'mon its a movie guys)A quick trip back to the architect sees him making good on the "hope we dont meet again thing " and a finale in the matrix with all the team and him re making things into bliss for all those who survived programs and humans living in peace...with the final shot of him and a now living trinty flying into the distance.
Or something like that...beautiful!
