Hugo Weaving's laugh is perhaps the most emotion any character has ever shown in this entire trilogy.
Or any Wachowski movie.
Greatest moment of the trilogy right there
And it comes from a simulated human, like what
Smith is the real main character in these movies
Sounds like Dr. Evil
The last Smith/Neo fight is probably the closest approximation to a live action Dragon Ball Z fight there's ever been. I kind of love it for that reason.
+DashCat9 that one fight scene is closer to dragonball then the entire dragon balls devolution movie
Kind of helps they straight up stole shots from Goku vs. Frieza.
Besides Man of Steel.
I don't remember goku throwing frieza into an ihop
SegaChamber I think it's a deleted scene on the Japanese DVDs. They were scared Westerners would be offended.
"Love is a human emotion."
"No it is a word. What matters is the connection the word implies!"
"'Connection' is a word."
*Program explodes*
I'm reminded of my Con Law professor. All speech is symbolic, letters are symbols.
There's a whole school of Lit Theory based around that whole concept.
I think what the guy meant was that while humans experience love emotionally, A.I can experience it through different means (algorithmical calculations) which lead to the same result - love.
507th, program runs function over and over and everybody escapes
“No. Word is a word. What matters is the word word words” program Window 95 glitches into oblivion.
I will never forget, when I saw this in the Cinema. When Trinity took forever to die, some guy yelled out from the back, "Hurry up and die already". Hilarious.
I noticed that when I was watching all three films for the first time with my family just recently.
That must have been.
You need patience oof
Did he really hate Trinity or was so bored out of his mind by watching this movie, he just wanted it all to end?

I love how each Matrix review gets greener
Just like the actual movies.
Feels like I’m looking at a gameboy
Feels like im looking through nightvision goggles
I bet the matrix four review’s just gonna be nothing but a green-screen
Same for the movie, now that I think about it.
Go green
...I'll just leave.

Truer words have never been said
And Skeletor
And Elrond.

I think the reason why Neo had a hard time fighting one Agent Smith is because that version was the Oracle prior to being infected. With The Oracle being one of the most powerful entities in these movies, it would make sense that some of her power was absorbed into Smith, giving him an advantage over Neo by being much stronger. It also makes sense considering he can suddenly predict the future, much like what the Oracle could do.
It wasn't just that, every time Smith made a copy he got just a tiny bit stronger. Multiply that by the millions of copies he made of himself and he was def stronger than Neo by that point. The oracle even mentions it in her boring talk with Neo.
The only time I've heard someone say "move with purpose" is from acting teachers. Maybe he was trying to get them to actually act.
for me it was RDC's in basic, only there it was "move like you got a purpose" in other words stop walking and haul ass to the next place you're supposed to be.
What if it wasn't a dialogue line, but instead - was actually a note on action? Like, "say shit X and move with purpose". But the actor just remembered the line and though it was an actual dialogue line?
^^^Then he's a laughable idiot!
It is said every single day in the Army. "Move with a purpose!"
JK HGGNS You hear it in the military as well.
"No more of the colour green!"
Turns it blue.
Morrison Productions He should have said "Make it blue!"
Morrison Productions You predicted the 4K blu-ray release of the films
You know, this whole trilogy of reviews makes fun of the Agent Smith character, but Hugo Weaving's performance was so memorable (and encapsulates the tone and identity of the movies so perfectly) that as monotone and stupid as he can be, Agent Smith left a huge impact on pop culture.
Actually, he is a very interesting character too. He experience emotions despite the fact he is a program and this is shown in the very first movie. He sincerely hates human being and this is a very good trait to have for an agent program. This is why he continues the search in the first movie before the subway scene takes place while other agents do not.
Agent Smith was honestly my favorite character out of the whole series.
"MACHINES!, i've come to bargain."

Optimus Prime: Megatron!
Megatron: Prime, cookies need love, like everything does!
Optimus Prime: They deserve to choose for themselves!
lol!
I also saw the video.
+Nak tura NO WAY, ME TOO!!!
+HeavyMetalPrime ME THREE! 😀
Cookies need to choose for themselves whether or not they need love. #CookieLoveRights
You know what, in that V for Vendetta scene, that line might actually make sense...
?
+Samuele Salvatico watch the review :-)
It would fit better in the scene with the archbishop.
Fun fact, if you play "The Final Countdown" when they start fighting in the final fight scene, and only pause it during the dialogues, it syncs perfectly.
I wanna see that now
Alright guys, let's watch with purpose!
Fancy Teeth but it is our choice to!
Neon Blast No it isn't choice is really just a subdued form of control you've already made the choice now it's time for you to understand why that choice was made. Cause and effect.
Wparker6804 you're good like cookies need love
But do we have a choice that has Purpose?

I laughed when trinity died neo notices the metal poles impaling her girlfriend and just says in a half assed manner oh no
"OH NO" ~knuckles the echidna
GammaWALLE Oh yes!
I remeber seing this film ffirsttime, in cinema, on Matrix marathon. Trinity is impaled we now see it and this dialogue happens
-Trinity: I have something to tell you
-Random guy in the audienc: I'm Pregnant
whole cinema laughing
*Tom's mind processing impaled girlfriend* "Is that a pole or a cable? Guess it doesn't really matter, she sounds quieter than normal. She might die, what should I say? Oopsie daisy wouldn't sound right. I know!" Tom: "Oh no."
mancubwwa thanks for reminding me why I don't watch movies at the cinema anymore
I think I know why Neo was having issue fighting that last Smith, while he was kicking the shit out of an army of them. When Smith "hacks" someone he basically just erases their identity and copy/paste his on to their shell. And while the copy's share his personality and knowledge the shell is still the shell. So when smith hacks a bystander the new smith is only a bit stronger then that shell due to smiths knowledge of hand to hand. It's basically an army of inferior copies. But when he hacked the oracle he hacked a very powerful program. So that copy was the superior copy. He even gains the oracle "visions" and why he can fly. That copy is now on the same level as Neo because he infected a MAJOR program
I think you just put more thought into this than both Wachowskis combined
An issue with that is that Neo didn’t fight the Oracle Smith, he fought the main Smith,
@@epicsbroflame2869 Nah it was Oracle Smith, because the Smith he's fighting talks about having seen the future multiple times.
Ofcourse it was the oracle smith big oversight by the reviewer to not understand.
Or when he's split between multiple people, he has to divide his processing power between them, but with just one, he can focus it all on one body
"Cookies need love like everything does.
-God (Genesis 1:1)
They even repeat something like that in the Speed Racer movie but with pancakes
And thus, cookies were added to the list of things that the entire world loves
What if there is some error in the coding Genesis 1:0
7:41
"Cookies need love like everything does"
That never stops being funny.
I've often wondered why this series never explored the concept of a ghost in the machine. What if their physical body dies, yet their mind refuses to?
Technically that’s what agent smith was! 🤷🏾♂️
smith became more human and neo became more machine like personality wise
+jrhSTYLE a psychotic human maybe, but spot on with Neo, or Tom as i want to label him now
+jrhSTYLE The fuck are you talking about? Neo doesn't have a personality.
+jrhSTYLE That and also Smith has been around longer than Neo. Smith himself has been around since the first version of the matrix and is discrepancy in the system making him the chosen one. So in the movies they were always fighting Smith the chosen one mistaking Neo for the chosen one.
+bakuya99 hmmm interesting point. never thought of it that way
jrhSTYLE If you go to the scene with the architect he pretty much gives it away. Also when they jack out of the matrix they are still in the matrix. The matrix itself is multi layered. The layer they are on gives a false impression that they are jacked out of the matrix when they are pretty much are still in it. All in all the people in the matrix cannot truly log out of it.
My bosses at my first job constantly told everyone to "move with purpose". Now I'm left wondering if they are secretly machines.
NC calls him Tom rather than Neo? He's literally the only person I've ever heard use Neo's real name.
Real First* name.
Agent Smith calls him Mister Anderson.
The only issue I have is that Neo never reminds him that his name is "Neo", ya know. To mirror the end of the first film.
Real name? You mean "Thomas"? 🤣
@@Alejandroigarabide that's literally how they started their comment. "NC calls him Tom"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
the Tom shit only gets funnier as it gets more serious lmfao
What does North Carolina have to do with anything???
"...I seem to have much more emotion than the human characters." He's got a point.
"No one can see beyond a choice they don't understand."
......._What?_
+Danny Dolan It's probably supposed to mean that they can't see the outcomes of the choice they are about to make either way, because they don't understand why they have to make that choice, so they don't know what effect it will have in the end.
Convoluted script short: "I dunno."
+Danny Dolan Well, when you think about it, the Oracle is a program. It is very possible that her future seeing abilities are just really good predictions. With this considered it is easy to see that a program would need to understand all the factors of the choice before it can predict an outcome. The Oracle herself made a choice that she herself didn't understand... at least not yet.
But in the second one didn't the oracle say that you didn't come here to make a choice you have already made it.if he has already made it then why would he not understand it.
purpose
i think my new life mantra is "cookies needs love like everything does"
"Move with purpose" is a military saying, specifically navy.
Which is why it sounds so fucking stupid.
And marines
Yup, that's a no shit. But since Nostalgia Critic is so out of touch with everyone on the planet he doesn't have a clue what the fuck "move with a purpose" means and it's something the entire US military says to their soldiers. @Channel Awesome a.k.a. @Nostalgia Critic you're a fucking idiot and clearly do no research or for that matter, THINK, when things are put in front you.
All branches, actually.

Coincidentally, Carrie Ann Moss and Keanu Reeves are slated to return for the 4th Matrix film.
@@incanticle699 I bought the DVD which is gonna be sent on 28th March. Cant wait!
Hugo weaving was always the best part in this trilogy
That cookies need love line and that laugh just proves it
If neo hadn't saved trinity no one would've been able to fly him to the machines home base to stop the machines forever, so yeah he did end up saving more lives in the end.
What the Architect offered was the same thing that was offered to his previous predecessors. The whole attack on Zion is just a script they start to get them to find “The One” so that they can go through it all again to reboot the matrix. They effectively need neo to reboot it.
I laughed at "Dumbledore the shit out of that" but then immediately felt bad.
Was a great actor. Too bad her last movie was Reloaded, loved her as the Oracle in those films

I unapologetically love the entire trilogy, flaws and all lmao.
The final fight with NEO and Agent Smith is still the best live-action DBZ fight put to screen.
At least it’s better than DragonBall Evolution.
I watched all 3 of these reviews back to back and all the green has affected my vision. My walls look yellow now.
Trying to marathon the movies almost made me feel sick when I was a kid lol

Smith panicked because the foresight of the oracle was too much for him.
yeah..
He didn't realize some of the oracle's code was unable to be overwritten. He foresaw himself saying something, then realized it made no sense for him to say it, causing him confusion.
It seems like NC sometimes plays ignorant deliberately just to be able to mock something as though it doesn't make sense or because it seems stupid to him. It IS a pretty shit movie, but still..
For comedic value
@@TheSchemer1 to be fair... i didn't realize that's why Smith freaked like that until you guys pointed it out. There may be a logical reason for most of the stuff (plot-wise) in the series, but seriously, The Matrix movies really needed to make it more obvious as to what the plot was instead of prioritizing the symbolism and the gun fights. Like maybe they could've had Smith see the future happen right then, or have him flashing forward to a freed Zion or maybe even he starts talking in The Oracle's voice, or just something to clue us into the fact that the Oracle was still there. Honestly, Critic's got a good reason to mock these movies when most of the plot twists and plot itself is a confusing jumble of words, fighting, and explosions explained/shown to an overstimulated audience in like 6 seconds.
I love how the Critic never calls him Neo
“Cookies need love like everything does”
I just, I never thought I’d hear Elrond say this ever!😂😂😂
Also 11:20 That is an actor who should play Joker!
Agreed!
The main thing I'm taking out of this review is that I REALLY need to watch Dark City.
Dark City is a great film, but for the love of God, watch the Director's Cut. The theatrical version was a studio-mutilated abortion which was why it didn't do so well.
KashelGladio Thanks for the tip. I generally go for director's cuts if I can, anyway. I know that there are many cases where a perfectly great, refreshing and original story was ruined by studios trying to make something more acceptable for a larger audience and failing badly. It sounds like Dark City was just one more example of that.
James Aggas Agreed. It happens far too often. Kingdom of Heaven, for example, is one of Ridley Scott's best films. But you'd never know that if all you saw was the theatrical cut =(
Dark City is a movie so boring I actually fell asleep halfway through. It only happened once to me before!
Weird film, good film but super weird.
now let's hope it is not taken down this time
Yeah, I hope they don't humiliate themselves even more by taking the video down
ditto
Dunno. Maybe hope he gets lucky?
Hope they realise the dumbass decisions they made before,during and after thr production of their films? Ridiculous writing also
This is a movie review with footages from the film. Therefore everyone has the rights to criticize and give their own opinions on the movie and the company can't just take it down just because he doesn't like it or not, it's his opinion and we like to hear it.
My favourite gag in this entire series is how every time Schmuck appears there's a stage light visible in his sunglasses, just like in _Reloaded_ when they're talking to each other before the multiples fight.
I actually checked out Dark City after this review & I gotta say thank you for bringing it to my attention. It's one of my favorite movies now
Yes, this is indeed "the worst of the worst".
I mean, wow..what a _difficult_ movie to watch. To think that _The Matrix_, a franchise that had so much potential, would end like this. Such a shame.

I didn't either.
@Iafiv Iv thanks for letting me know hes an actor
"Cookies need love like everything does. "
"They deserve to choose for themselves"
7:54 I especially like how those two Smiths on the left look at each other. I can't even explain it, it just fun.
"Move with a purpose" is a common phrase used in the military, or at least Navy branch, in the USAF.
The more you know!
Is it just me or are the videos getting progressively more green? More important question: What does it mean!???????????
*Manic Pixie Fangirl * how stupidly green the movies are
"Cookies need love, like everything does."
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN???? I mean, clearly, there's some sort of deep symbolism there that my mind can't comprehend. Has anyone else solved the mysteries of this metaphorical masterpiece?
I know I'm a little bit late (just a little), but that was an answer to oracle's question about little girl. She said those words to her, and then Smith absorbed her, gaining knowledge of those words. In short, that is Smith saying "I've absorbed her"
even more late best guess it's something the she asked about said
Great! Now I don't have to watch it with Russian subtitles!

I fell into a burning ring of fire
"Cookies need love like everything does" "They deserve to choose for themselves!" is possibly one of the best exchanges I've ever heard
I've never seen the trilogy and binge-watched the reviews, so that final scene was really nice to see. It was nice to see the three of them happy.
I felt that way to it was like a height of pretentious and trying to to be deep has been lifted.
The only Hugo Weaving related thing thing more funny than that cookies line is seeing his face edited onto a troupe of muppets!
"Cookies need love like everything does" - Rex from Babe
I've watched Dark City and I agree that it should be seen more. But hearing Nostalgia Ciritic mentioning the film makes me squee even more considering I have a penchant for noir films!
Definitely not the Theatrical version though. Only the Directors Cut. :)
It's depressing that you don't have more subscribers. There is so much work, creativity and intelligence put into each of your episodes.Well done. :)
Why can't Neo just punch Agent Smith as easily the second time? Because Smith has the Oracle's power. When Smith absorbs someone, two things happen. 1) He absorbs their power 2) He absorbs their PURPOSE.
*** THIS IS HOW NEO DEFEATS SMITH! ***Between the real world, and the 6 Matrices, Neo is the 7th incarnation of Jesus Christ. As such, his purpose is to 'Die To Save Mankind'. When Smith absorbs him, it becomes the purpose of ALL the Smiths to Die to Save Mankind. And since Smith is the principle threat to mankind.. BOOM, all they can do is self-destruct.
The entire ending fight is a trick by Neo. He knows if he just surrenders to Smith, Smith will sense a trap, and just kill him, and win. He must get Smith to ABSORB him. So he plays the Stupid Hero and tries punching Smith, even though it's obvious that the best his DragonballZ power can do is fighting a single Smith to a standstill, and there's literally a world, if not WORLDS, of Smiths waiting to go next.
At first, Smith is amused. Then Smith is annoyed. Then Smith is ENRAGED! THIS idiot is his arch nemesis? It's making HIM look bad!! He throws cold logic to the winds and goes for the defiling absorption..
Smith gets a warning just before it happens.. a vision from the Oracle that he doesn't understand.. that he's playing right into one of her plans. But then Neo starts moving again, and Smith lashes out.. absorbing him. Neo-Smith smiles back at him in satisfaction.. and suddenly Agent Smith loses all his composure, and whines "Oh NO.. it's NOT FAIR!!" Realization. Checkmate. Chain of exploding Smiths.
Everyone comes back at the end, except for Neo, whose glorious sacrifice has finished his own purpose, and now he no longer exists.
+BlackfootFerret Yeah, I really thought it was pretty brilliant as far as logic and what not went.
+BlackfootFerret the last time I watched it I didn't really get that much from it, even though you're probably right. I think they needed to explain more without explaining
+BlackfootFerret There's a bit of a flaw with your conclusion. The entire reason Smith was a threat was because he no longer followed programming, he just did what he wanted. The Matrix was thrown into chaos because no one was fulfilling their purposes.
It seems more to me that Smith died because he was connected directly to the Matrix's core through Neo. With direct access to Smith, the center of the Matrix could shut him down once and for all.
Of course, symbolically, it's supposed to represent how Jesus became sin, died and took all the sin with him.
+Shady Doorags Do you remember the conversation Neo and Smith have before the massive fight in Movie 2? "We're not here because we're free.. we're here because we're NOT free." Smith is compelled to fight Neo, part of the Oracle's plan. He must still abide by the Purposes he's absorbed. Everything in the Matrix has a purpose, when it losses it, it ceases to exist
+BlackfootFerret
it's amazing how stupid it sounds when explained, that's damn good story telling there! but yes basicly he absorbs her..."power" to justify ripping off all the animes the walchowski's jerked each other off to growing up, the end.
We need a full review of Dark City, seriously.
Honestly Hugo is one of those actors I never said "Don't I know you from somewhere?"
Best homage ever. And that's the reason why Dark City is a much better film.
Quick, men! Shoot bullets wildly with no strategy in your shieldless open-cockpit mechs!
Yup! Dark city is really underrated!
It's not underrated. it's just unknown.
Tell that to Zack Synder
He needs to review it.
@@praisemarvel3 Zack Snyder is overrated
I know this episode is kind of old, but the ending actually made me think of something. Why hasn't NC reviewed Dark City!?
Sarah Heath well he kinda did in this movie, simply saying it’s the Matrix, but much better
I really think Dark City doesn't get as much love and respect as it should. sure Kiefer Sutherland plays a bit.. off, but then again he probably was subject to a lot of trauma and torture so he would be a bit. off mentally. and I love that Nostalgia Critic refers to it. I hope more people talk about it because I have always raved about it, it's one of my top ten movies
THE ENDING TO THIS!
Geekdom! Whats up bruh
Lol
Yup, you just like these movies ..... *Pointless*
Patrick Allen weiner peiner woo woo poo poo
is an MMORPG.
Many in the comments have explained why Smith can go one on one with Tom in the final fight. IE: he absorbed the Oracle and that somehow gave him a giant power boost. However that still doesn't explain why he decides to only go one on one?
He has a giant army at his disposal. So why not use it? Even if only the main Smith is strong enough to survive one on one he can still use the army to distract Tom or wear him down.
shadowspider9 Anger, I think. Also ego. This was the original Smith with a serious grudge against Neo, so him wanting to beat him into the ground himself makes sense.
Also because one on one battles are more dramatic.
Because they already saw that he's the one that defeats him so it isn't necessary. He says it right as theyre about to fight, pretty hard to miss, and he's correct right up until the point where the oracle in him fucks him over and affects a choice Neo makes (to keep fighting) or some stupid shit.
If you rip off dragonball and don't include one of them firing a Kamehameha your doing something wrong, in fact why not have smith be Goku and Neo be like superman.
The real answer to all of this
PLOT REASONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Benjamin also I think they already mentioned neo in the last saying that Neo's superman. One of the characters says, "he's doing his superman thing."
The insane action and crazy philosophy just reminds me of Metal Gear Solid.
Just a thought for how the finale for this movie could have been just as bat-shit crazy as the Smith fight in Reloaded: Tom gets the machines to give him access to all the data from the previous 'Ones', powers included, and they all fight the army of Smiths. Now imagine like a dozen Toms versus a million Smiths.
Sounds similar to a fight scene from Braveheart.
I actually heard somebody say the phrase "move with purpose" just half an hour after watching these videos. The context was that it was an a&p lecture and the teacher was explaining how connective tissues let us "move with purpose". It was the only other time I ever remember hearing that phrase so I thought it was weird as hell.
Sounds like confirmation bias. You were primed to hear the phrase and disregarded any time you may have heard it in the past as inconsequential.
Paul Smith That's usually what I chalk this sort of thing up to. It's weird how hard we try to convince ourselves that our brains are infallible. Even knowing the cause, I'm inclined to think otherwise.
Right above this is another comment with the same phenomenon lol
I'm gonna shit my fucking pants if I hear someone say it tomorrow lol idgaf how superstitious it makes me lol
@@mutt9779 Dude, I'm probably the first person to take the skeptical approach when it comes to paranormal stuff. But I know EXACTLY what you mean. Shit like this happens to me so often. It used to freak me out, but now it's just so common, it's just like "huh, how about that." But I still try to find some sort of meaning, or connection in events like that. And so far, after at least 10 years of it happening, I've found absolutely no connection or meaning to them. But I KNOW there's something to it. It's not something people would understand unless they've experienced it, but it's just far too perfect for it to be a mere coincidence. I just wish so much that I could find some sort of meaning in it.
So... I hate to bring this up, because I brought it up on a different review of this of yours, but Smith is strong for a reason. Oracle Smith fought Neo.
So he was super strong and could fly and see the future. That's why Hugo Weaving looked stoned off his ass and said "Wait, I've seen this before."
Still a pretty bad movie, but that at least makes sense.
It doesn't change the fact that it's dumb, and could be done better. Idk if what you said was stated in the movie, but if it wasn't, it should be for starters. And at the very least they should add some cool effects so it doesn't seem like a letdown from the previous movie.
Spenser Sowards Wait, Smith could absorb "powers" from its victims? Since when?
5:32 - 5:51 Love the Monty Python scene. It made me LOL!
The best part of this whole trilogy was agent Smith.
I know he is, I’ve seen him. That’s why the rest of us are just going to enjoy the show, and we already know that he’s the one that beats Neo.
Cookies need love like everything does.

11:15 - Doug has the scariest teeth known to man.
Nothing amuses me more than The Critic tackling things I used to love so much.
Haha, love the garage scene xD Using Monty Python is always a win...

Matrix 1: Good movie (7/10)
Matrix Reloaded: Bad with great action scènes (5/10)
Matrix Révolutions: Bad with a ''fine'' climax action scene (3/10)
Whenever I don't like a movie as much its predecessor I just think of the room and movie 43 and fifty shades of grey and think that atleast it had effort put into it.

Michael That's fine. I can respect your opinion. But you have to admit, the acting isn't the best and the effects do look pretty dated. I understand the story, but since the emotionless performances took me away from what its,"philosophies" that they were tryimg to express, it just doesn't work in my opinion. Acting and storytelling have to be comnected and for these movies as they give the story emotion and sense, and these movies don't have it. That's just my opinion though. No harsh feeling towards this trilogy.
Michael Oh, I get what you mean man. I actually thought about that myself when I first watched the Matrix. But I don't know, maybe it's just that for me, emotion is what gives a movie more tension. If it's the movies point to have them be focus and emotionless as they are in a war, that's perfectly fine. If you think the acting and the whole movie in general is great, then go ahead and enjoy man.😉Others and I may find the movie flawed, but there are still great things about it, for me, like it's premise and its action (I'm a sucker for action so yeah). That's just my opinion though.
Matrix is at best "pitifully average," not good.
After watching Dark City, the ending of this makes so much more sense.
Go watch it folks, fantastic movie, I like it more than the matrix now.
You DO realize that since Smith assimilated the Oracle, it creates a new Smith which is just as powerful (if not more so) than Neo, right? In fact it's implied by one of the lines you skipped/cut/ignored:
Neo: It ends tonight.
Smith: I know it does, I've seen it. *That's why the rest of me is just going to enjoy the show, because we already know that I'm the one that that beats you.*
How does that imply that he gained the Oracle's powers, instead of just Smith being overconfident?
"Move with a purpose" is something Drill Sergeants in the Army said when I was in Basic so yes, some people actually talk like that.
Hicks says it in Aliens too.
I sincerely hope that this time this vid won't be fucking blocked in Poland due to supposed copyrights violation
Copyright laws are the worst thing to happen to Europe since hitter
+Count Helvete Those crazy gewws and their get rich quick jeans! xD
Actually, the whole point of Neo being responsable for the war, complete with the (sure funny) "Dat Ass" sketch in the other review, is totally wrong. While we know at the end of the 2nd movie he chose the other door specifically for Trinity, and not for the rest of Zion, it really was the right choice. I mean he wouldn't accept compromises, have you heard what would have happened in the other door? They would have spared only like two dozens of chosen people to build a new comunity or something like that. Sure, the other door led to war, and the death of a lot of people, but the alternative was to let them all die, except for a few, so it was still better.
Now that I think of it it would have been more egoistic to chose the other door and really let everybody die except for him, Trinity and their friends.
I haven't watched the movie in a long while. When was it stated that most of Zion would be killed?
It was part of the Architect's diatribe. The One is tricked by a false prophecy into visiting the source, where he learns that his existence is part of a cycle. The machines always destroy Zion, then let the One and his chosen followers live in a new Zion. Actually, I believe there's a distant shot in the second movie where you can see an old, destroyed Zion.
Neo's choice wasn't just to save Trinity (though that certainly fuels it), it was to risk everything for the chance to save everything by fighting instead of giving up to "inevitability." (That's why the Architect scoffs at the notion of hope as Neo leaves the room).
(I was definitely underwhelmed by both sequels, but I always agreed with the choice Neo made, given what the plot provided.)
I hope when Critic does his review of Matrix Resurrections he remembers to call Neo "Tom" 😁
Yes😂
I wonder if they had Smith call him Tom because of this review
5:32 My new favorite moment in NC history.
This review made me check out Dark City :)
+Kiki Kyami Did you like it?
Same here! Thanks to the Critic, I now have a new favorite movie.
YES! I looooved it. I liked it better then The Matrix in fact. If you havent seen it yet, you totally should! It deserves a bigger cult-following.
Kiki Kyami I'll check it out.
Laura Wanco Cool! If you feel like it, tell me what you thought about it? :) Have fun!
I have a love/hate appreciation of the Nostalgia Critic's review sketches. The programs tend to annoy me greatly because he complains, insults, or makes fun of several aspects that I enjoyed about the movies. Even for some movies that I didn't enjoy or though were just fine shall suffer several of Nostalgia Critic's nearly-unjustified thrashing. On the other hand, some of the moments of the shows are very funny. The Mindy & Buttons routine was hilarious, for example. I hated the way he complained about the Mobil Ave subway stop. However, I never realized the sign was there. Even if I had noticed, I wouldn't have realized it was an anagram for "Limbo."
Yes, this program often pisses me off, but I learn things and get a good chuckle now and then.
BTW, the machines planned to annihilate Zion, whether Neo returned to the source or not. The architect said, "This will be the SIXTH time we've destoryed Zion." Because Neo chose to save Trinity, it lead to him stopping the war. So that makes Neo an excellent messiah.
One small note is that since Tom's eyes were burned out with a very high voltage cable, It actually probably wouldn't hurt, as higher degree burns destroy the nerve endings
His name is neo
3:20 without the sarcasm, i totally missed this.
Only on this one did I realize you've been calling him Tom the whole time. I love it.
The humans being like machines, almost emotionless and machines becoming more and more like humans is a strong point of the Matrix. It's on purpose.
+MikeAlexBillsZ "Becoming" is one thing, it rather feels like the process is complete. Also, given that a driving motivation of two of our main characters is a supposed passionate love and a third is supposed to be driven by faith the lack of emotion in their performances makes it very hard to read that. The only member of the crew that seems to act like he gives a shit is Link and he's basically tech support.
+GriffinPilgrim Becoming since the Matrix was created, that's why it feels the process is complete.
MikeAlexBillsZ Well, fair enough. But my other point stands.
MikeAlexBillsZ Shut up meg
Hah I wish. Sorry but that's coming off as an excuse for bad writing.
1) The film series is so unsubtle and so on-the-nose with their ideas, that if they were doing this on purpose, it would totally be mentioned.
2) Even if it is on purpose, it serves no "purpose" in the actual plot, character progression or thematic construct of the story
3) Whatever purpose there might have been, it's clearly not completed by the end of the film series and serves nothing towards the end goal and thus is just yet another hanging plot thread.
To say this was on purpose actually hurts the film series more than helps it.
"What choice?" "The choice to make more of these movies."
Which, coincidentally, there is a 4th one that's being put into production in 2020.
Massive props to the dark city ending, one of my favorite movies
Also, I just wanna ask, how did Reloaded and Revolution movies come out in the same year? I know big budget blockbusters usually start filming like two or three years before release, but this is pretty weird in my opinion.
+Professor Detective Close, they were actually filmed at the same time.
+Professor Detective Part two was actually suppose to be one movie at one point, but it was too lengthy and the movies due date was coming in close. That might have been the case with this movie too.
+Dantaefett Icus They were filmed back to back. Not unlike Back to the Future 2 & 3. Or The LotR 1, 2 & 3. Or The Hobbit 1, 2 & 3. Or....... you get the idea by now. ;)
First Matrix: Masterpiece.
second Matrix: Had flaws, but I still think it's a great film.
Third Matrix: *bruh*
20:24 Somehow Doug came up with a funnier laugh than Hugo weaving's.
Agent Smith's laugh sounds like Tim Curry.
The face reminded me of Dafoe's Green Goblin.
I guess Mia Ria, both are really funny
