The film is laden with plot holes

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2004)

May I point out that "Reloaded" and "Revolutions" are the only somewhat original stories out of the trilogy. In case you haven't noticed, Will Smith has a new movie coming out called "I,Robot" based on a novel written by Isaac Asimov in 1966 where the plot revolves around machines turning against humans...hmm...that sounds familiar, now combine that with a little bit of "Tron" and "Terminator 2" and you've got yourself the "Matrix". Since the Wachowski brothers had so much to steal from for the first movie, it turned out very good. I like it...a lot. However, the proved their true writing skills with the crap they recently released, paying no attention to details. I begin with one burning question, the agents. It is speculated that the agents work for the architect. So tell me why the agents employed by the architect would be trying to kill Neo, when it is the architect who needs Neo to deliver him the code he needs to restart the Matrix? He could plant the code in anyone he wants, why Neo? Why would the agents also be trying to kill the keymaker, when he needs to deliver Neo to the architect? The Wachowski brothers claim that they wrote all three movies at once, so tell me why they insisted on waiting until the 2nd movie to unveil many key characters such as the Merovingian, the keymaker, the architect. Where the heck were they before? They were never even mentioned. I want to know why the architect continuously lets Zion be rebuilt and then plants a code within a human and waits, and waits, and waits for the "One" to bring it to him so he can destroy Zion all over again. Is he that bored? Or does he have a God complex? Not to mention, the incredible amount of technology the city of Zion achieves in such a short period of time. You think with all the advanced technology they have (Electromagnetic Pulse, spaceships, robots) that they could find a way to beat these sentinels? (name stolen from X-Men)And what kind of a program (Merovingian) is programmed to have sinful lust urges and cheat on his programmed wife (Bellucci). So advanced the architect is to create such realistic programs yet he cannot defeat a single human. I do enjoy the fact that he created the Oracle, a program who seems to have more working knowledge of the Matrix he created then he does. I'm disappointed that they hardly ever use "Bullet time". The coolest FX created lately. They didn't even use their own trademark. Supposedly, Neo can manipulate the Matrix, remember that from the first Matrix? All Neo does is fly and stop bullets. Oh, and Neo isn't the One, technically, he's the sixth, so calling him the one...is a little...retarded. Spend your time wisely watching something without so many unanswered questions.
