Matrix Reloaded Director's Cut

I saw a thread here or somewhere that talked about a director's cut of the Matrix Reloaded that was already out? I searched the web (and this forum) but did not find anything. Any truth to this or am I just being gullible?

I have heard nothing of this... The only addition release I know about is the Box set that I am sure will come out later down the road of all 3 movies (which possiably could be DCs I guess)

Yep, nothing but the theatrical cut until the entire trilogy is redone SE style.

The day Matrix Reloaded comes out as a director's cut is the day when pigs fly.

I think they should make Matrix Reloaded: Audience Cut. A version with scenes REMOVED instead of added. OK, well maybe this: Remove all of the boring scenes. "Hi I'm Morphius. Listen to what I say. Machines are bad." OK, next scene: Trinity I love you. Kiss Kiss., 10 seconds of them in bed. Next scene: rave, just show the chicks with the nipples showing. done. Next scene: Colonel Sanders (well he looks like colonol sanders anyway) talking to Neo: I am the whoever I am. I made the Matrix. Go in that door. Next scene: The movie may only be about 5 minutes long now, so add in all of the scenes from Enter the Matrix. Probably the only entire scenes that would remain would be the fight scenes and the kiss with that chick in the bathroom. The love scene was just gross. I don't want to see all of those stupid holes all over the bodies. What would happen if they stuck their fingers in each others "holes" (you know the things where the cords go to connect to the matrix or whatever?) anyway? I may actually attempt something like this.

Don't get me wrong, I like the movie, I just thought part 1 was 100 times better. Too much outer space for me in parts 2 and 3 also.

So basically, you want to remove all plot elements and just see fighting? And "chicks" kissing... but only in the Matrix, no holes, please?

... I'm sorry, but I'd love a Matrix film that was less chat, more kicking.

Considering the leeway the Wachowskis were given, I'm sure the cut we see on disc is the one they wanted.

The version which is out right now is the "director's cut".

That's what it sounds like that guy wants to me... don't ask me why.

*To the guy who wanted scenes removed*- If you want senseless action without too much plot getting in the way, get the game 'Enter The Matrix'. That would be perfect for you. But what really makes the matrix films aren't just the kickass action that revolutionized the whole bullet time thing. It's the whole plot about the rabbit hole. And even in the first film, it went pretty damn deep. I mean, how would you feel if you found out your entire life was a lie just being controlled by some machines? And of course in Reloaded, it gets more intense, and near the end, we realize one thing: We don't know anything yet.... Without all of the basic plot elements (the characters talking and letting us know what is going on, etc), the movie wouldn't be anything more than what it's stereotyped for, eye candy.

Hmmmm . . . senseless action . . . no plot . . . sounds like Starship Troopers to me. Don't get me wrong I love this movie. It is one of the greatest "guy flick", eye candy movies of all time . . . sci-fi . . . very solid special effects . . . lot's of things blowing up . . . a nice shower scene . . . Low on the plot and with a very campy style (aided by some "not-so-great" acting). Yup . . . just turn off your brain, sit back , and enjoy.

i even agree on the monica kissing scene to be cut out. the rave defenetly (even the nipples should be cut), and about half of the old womans speech should be cut or trimmed.
there, now we have a 2 hour movie.

And here I was half expecting you to suggest Kill Bill instead...

I do remember seeing that a new dvd is in the planning stages since this one really skimped on the extra features and is begging for a super duper special suck my d**k edition.

An insert, at the very least.

Someone had to.

Why didn't anybody claim that Reloaded should be faster paced, like the first Matrix? That would've been fun.

So I take it you've already seen Revolutions?

If you're going to cut any scenes, then you need to cut down the fight scenes too. Specifically, the Neo vs. 1000 Smiths fight - it just dragged and dragged. And how come they have to have a bullet-time "moment" every 30 seconds?

Hopefully, the Wachowskis [sp?] have read all the movie reviews, and will cut Revolutions to be quicker paced.

Actually, that would be a "suck our d**ks" edition, since there are two directors.
