questions about the matrix (spoilers of course)

first of all, that movie was better than i expected. unbelievable special effects and fight scenes. just amazing. props to keanu for doing those fight scenes because it must have taken alot of work to learn all that. ok, now my questions:

1. what was the difference between agent smith and the other regular agents?

2. what did it mean when smith took over that person (the bad guy in zion, "the only survivor" at the very end)? did it just mean he basically was in his brain?

3. when they were talking about the slaughter (last scene), did that mean the machines got to zion and killed everyone?

4. did those twins die in the car explosion?

5. will the dvd be out before matrix 3 is in theaters?

thanks.

1. Agent Smith is how the Oracle describes everything. Just basically a program gone haywire.

2. To me it was rather obvious he took control of Bane, and just slipped into his head.

3. I belive the slaughter of the five ships. If Zion was gone, what would be the point?

4. Yes.

5. The Wachowski brother's would be stupid not to release it.

1. I think once Smith was killed in the first movie he was to be a deleted program, but of his own free will (him being free) he decided to stick around.

2. I think so...

3. I believe it was just the ships in the planned counter attack

4. It doesn't show them die, so who knows.

5. If they were good at marketing then yes.

After they picked up trinity neo and morpheus(sp?) The person talking to Trinity about Neo's condition said they planned a counter attack to try to catch the machines off guard.

No, I don't think that they did.

If you remember, the last time they are shown is when they are being propelled up into the sky by the explosion.

Just as the flames reach them, they both turn into "ghosts" so they can't be harmed!

I agree. And it never actually shows them burning. Plus, they're too cool to kill off in the same film that they're introduced. (unlike Darth Maul.)

For what it's worth, IMDB lists them in the cast list for Revolutions...

1. To me it seemed like Agent Smith became a "computer virus" of sorts with his own agenda. When Neo went through him in the first movie, something happened to him to make him go haywire.

Whenever Smith touched someone he would "corrupt" them and turn them into another Smith. But then again, I could be completely wrong.
