In Reply to: The Matrix Reloaded posted by michael w on May 15, 2003 at 23:27:31:
Too much out-dated 70's Hong Kong Kung Fu style; blocking/fencing off is not needed in actual fighting, every move needed to take care of attack & defense the same time. Read more from Bruce Lee's writing about the art of intercepting fist-Jeet ku Dao.I recalled other movies with car chasing scene performed by French stunt driver, nothing wrong with the American style but seemingly less charismatic car chase.
Scene after scene of heavy content makes watching tiresome.
The group dance is not necessary IHMO.
Video wall of stacked TV sets a reminiscene of the past, but come short of the 40's Metropolis.
Good pounding sound however!
Shallow story.
I hope the W brothers give something new and exciting in the III episode.
Follow Ups:
The Super human must be slick in every move, they must be able to predict every incoming fist/kick and do even faster and quicker action in response.The agents should be equipped special weapondry to deal to this super human Neo which is seeming more tactile in hand to hand combat. So it should be a programmed, almost perfect human vs perfect machine battle amidst of the "wrong programming". which take us back and relate more to the first episode.
flying in the air brings no thrill, but fly-by-wire thru some medium would be more convincing. In air it should be molecular transfer.
At least there should be more contemporary scientific relevance established and not so established, and known and known to be flawed theories to add into the story.
My personal bias but Matrix reloaded failed itself a suceeding episode as a pure predigree among the well known Sci-fi movies.
I think the DVD version should bring in addition content to supplement/complement the down side.
If Agent Anderson is programmed to win over Neo's fighting programme Neo can overcome by either
1. ReWrite fighting programme
2. Make false moves, to trick and make fun of opponent
3. Avoid body contact, just run for shelter. (remember the the first episode)
But then there are illogical ways too. This would be a thrill to wait and see whether coming in III episode or not.
Absence of bystanders and passabys makes RELOADED a story remotely distanced from viewers perpectives.However, the fluid, slick, quick and direct action moves by Trinity is a perfect 10; clean, mean and dead on all at the same time.

2. Make false moves, to trick and make fun of opponent "Like those nasty, taunting Frenchmen in Monty Python and the Holy Grail ?
This option;
"3. Avoid body contact, just run for shelter. "
Is probably the most realistic but would make for a boring movie and a wimpy hero.
