THE MATRIX RE-EDITED (spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2003)

Here's how I would plan to fix The Matrix Trilogy, via trimming scenes.
Keep in mind, I can't add footage:

THE MATRIX (original):
-Leave it alone, mostly.
-Add more explanations to fill logic gaps in the concept, like "Why would you want to leave the matrix for the creepy real world?", or "Why is blacking out the sun the best solution for defeating the machines?" and "Why don't the machines use other energy sources?" and "Why not use other animals for energy? Wouldn't they be less likely to escape?" and "If we're fed the liquified dead, wouldn't we end up consuming faster than the rate in which people die?"
-Make the last shot (Neo flying up) feel less silly in comparison to the previous visuals.

THE MATRIX RELOADED:
-Lose everything to do with Link and Zee. This side story doesn't do anything to enhance the main plot.
-Cut out any unnecessary annoying moments of "the Kid".
-Leave in the "Hmm, upgrades." fight and the revelation that Smith is copying himself.
-Cut out the whole dance rave.
-Cut out the part where morpheus tells them all to dance.
-Cut most of the sex scene, but leave the last part when Neo starts losing his focus because of the dream.
-Leave in Smith's posession of Bane.
-Cut out the Oracle's talk about the Merovingian, but leave the talk about finding the Keymaker.
-Leave the Burly Brawl, but shorten it, so it doesn't run forever before Neo realizes he can fly.
-Leave the introduction of the Merovingian in, but shorten the unnecessary philosophizing, and Persephone's betrayal and her kiss, but cut out the part where she asks the other servant to tell Merovingian what she's done, and go straight to the part where she gives them the Keymaker.
-Here's the shocker. Lose the twins fight, the whole Chateau fight, the Garage, the Entire Car Chase and Neo flying from the mountains to save them. Although entertaining, this is an entire huge portion of the movie that is dedicated to just getting ahold of the Keymaker, and no character development or discoveries are made in the process.
-Go straight from finding the Keymaker in his cell to planning on how to get Neo into the Tower to get to the door of light.
-Leave everything alone during the action in the skyscraper and power station, and Trinity risking her life for Neo.
-Leave the Architect scene. This is the heart of Reloaded's story.
-Have Neo catch Trinity before the bullet hits her and skip the whole "Bringing her back scene" and just have them kiss and wake up in the real world.
-Let Neo stop the Sentinels, but cut before he passes out, straight to the discussion about Bane's mysterious survival of the "accident".
-Cut the first half of the last shot to only reveal Bane, implying that
Neo is fine.

THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS:
-Cut out the whole start of the film with neo being comatose and left at the train station. And go straight to him being awake. Nothing is really different about him after the coma state anyway.
-Lose everything to do with Club Hell, the Trainman, Sati and her family and having to rescue Neo, and themes about programs capable of love.
(All this has nothing to do with ending the war or helping the characters advance in relevant thought.)
-The tricky part here is to do some clever editing to explain the Oracle's new appearance without talking about rescuing Neo. May even have to pretend she didn't change, which was the original intent.
-Sati can instead be introduced in the cookie-making scene as just another child that the Oracle looks after, in her apartment.
-Lose any references to Sati's parents or the train station.
-Lose anything to do with Zee and Link's relationship.
-Lose the whole sequence where Zee and the bald chick are trying to stop the drill. It doesn't change the outcome of the central story. It just makes the movie longer and enhances the relationship story with Link, which isn't needed anyway.
-Trim out pointless repetetive footage of 50% of unknown characters getting killed during the battle sequence.
-Shorten Trinity's death scene.
-Replace the last shot of the sunset with real footage. It just looks
hideously fake.
THE END
P.S. *Anything I haven't mentioned was probably just fine in my opinion, or I simply forgot about it.
