All These Comparisons To Ep I are Complete Bosh

Just seen Reloaded tonight... I loved it. As far as the this movie next to Episode 1:
The Wachowski's wipe their asses with what luca$ calls a script.
This movie works on many levels, that's something missing from the Ep1 and 2. These Matrix movies are delivering... plain and simple. That's something Ep 1 and 2 forgot to do. luca$ had his day, unfortunately it was back in 77' and the early 80s.
I will go put my $$$ down to see this movie again, yes it was that good (and I want to disect it a little more).
That's enough typing for the moment... I have to get back to my ps2 now.
I can't wait to see "The Matrix: Revolutions".

I agree with the Ep. 1 comparisons. Not living up to the hype. It was good, just not great. But that may change with multiple viewings. It took 2 viewings to totally appreciate the first one. Maybe that holds true this time as well.

Hehe. Let's try to make a list shall we? (Disclaimer: This is all in good fun so please don't take it seriously)
- hyped to death yet underwhelming (for some)
- CGI overload
- Twins=Darth Maul
- Neo exhibits "Force" abilities
Anybody else have anything?

for all its intricate little puzzles, self concious references, and more liberal sex & violence (which actually seemed kinda tame in retrospect) its, at heart, just a big dumb HK/comic book movie.
Matrix nerds will have a hard time grasping this, and they'll pull out references to ancient Christian sects, numeroligical references, eastern philosophical references, and of course, tons and tons of computer-geek references ....but as i was watching the story repeatedly pause for another inane, inconclusive bout of wire-fu, i realized that yes, this is just another big dumb comic book movie.

Has anyone else who's seen this also read "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown or is a Holy Grail enthusiast/historian?
I wonder if the Bros. Wachowski came up with the name "Merovingian" in relation to the whole history behind the Holy Grail or if they just thought it sounded "cool"...

I was very mixed about Matrix Reloaded.
It was a bunch of really cool scenes with a whole lot of nothing in between. After 4 years the wow factor is gone. I wish that they didn't use slow motion every time a car flipped or a person was tossed.
