Just thought it was time someone put in a topic regarding the upcoming flick, "The Matrix: Reloaded"... :buttrock:
I won't restate any facts since I know about 95% of you folks have already heard it or read it somewhere and are just about suicidal since you really wanna see the movie THAT bad (at least I do...). So I just thought I might share this interesting fact:
Did you know that the twin brothers in "Reloaded", named Neil and Adrian Rayment, are actually Nidan Black Belt [b:post_uid14]Shotokan[/b:post_uid14] Karate instructors, as well as professional fitness consultants? They are trained in Karate Do, Kuko Schin-Kai, Wu-Tai and boxing. The Rayments live in London, where they are very popular lifestyle television presenters. Their credits include Granada Television's "Simply DIY"; breakfast television's "Lifestyle This Morning" and "Live Time Granada Breeze."
Not that any of you really care about that last part about them working in the television industry, but I found their area of martial arts expertise to be pretty interesting. This move is actually their very first feature film, but their extensive karate and kung fu experience made them a perfect fit for their roles as the Twin Viruses that protect Merovingian and Persephone. If Ryu existed in real life, these two dudes could seriously give him a run for his money... :laugh:
Do any of you people know any other interesting factoids that you would like to share?? Please share them here! :)

well... the first movie was good but i didn't find any real good idea around it. i mean that i kinda hate SUDDEN HEROES that suddently knows how to do things the way they want to ! it was kinda stupid to do that.
now that heroe stuff is over passes the second movie brings us directly into the war with the human race in the balance ! that movie really need to be seen at least once in a theater, but twice ? will know for sure after i seen it once !
the movie seems a little, HIT EVERYTHING THAT MOVES movie, but hey, people wanted more actions in the first one, then the seconds seems to have twice what the first had ! the fights seems awsome in themselves, so like i said. just be patient and after people will have seen it once. maybe they will actually think its good, or maybe bad, but thats not for sure right now !

well, except for the actions in there there is not much things to love in it !
i explain myself ok...
the story is all about the war between humans and machine... till now, its good !
they also said that humans are being growth to serve machines as battery... ok, i can accept that kind of story. but then, they start talking about a guy that can do anything in the matrix and neo is that guy... that is what makes the matrix so boring and stupid. i ask you, if neo could easily destroy the machines at the end of the first movie, what makes him unable to actually shut down the matrix and bringing everyone at the same time in their own body ?
the CHOSEN part of the story is just so stupid, bring on that the fact that he suddently knows everything he can do !
like he was killed, then suddently is brought back to life and suddently he knows everything he can do. that's just stupid. so apart the big graphics and the action in there... there is no one i know who's gonna look at it for the story !
so yeah, i do think it's no BIG DEAL !
the action is the only thing that makes peoples look at it cause the story in itself sucks !

neo cant destroy the matrix because it is being reloaded and he is losing his power. He was brought back to life because he wasnt actually the one until he woke up fomr the dead at the end. If u dont believe me think about what the prophecy said. she said that either neo or morpheus would die neo died. She also said trinidy would love the one and she did love neo even when he came back to life! do u understand now. Man ur probably the only person who isnt lookin forward to this film.

this is going to be one of the best movies this year(beside Matrix 3)
The movie is going to be amazing. And Karma, you're just looking at the outline of the story. You're not looking deeper.
And you say it's stupid that he knows everything he can do? He was TOLD he could control the Matrix, and when he first came back to life, he was testing it out. YOu know, how he made the walls move and everything. And if you're also reffering on how he killed the one agent . . . do anti-virus programs have to learn how to use themselves before they detect virusses?
There, I made my point.
Anyhoo, the movie's gonna be friggin sweet. Like, I mean, amazing.

i'm not looking at the outline razz (whatever that meant)
when you have to do a review on a movie, you gotta look at every single aspect of it !
as for neo loosing his powers...
no he didn't lose any powers since the first movie !
he still blocks all the bullets (he does it again in the second movie)
he still is capable of flying (he still does it in the movie)
he is still extremely fast (do you call fighting 50 agents at the same time, slow)
everything that he made in the very first movie, at least at the end, he still does it in the second one !
back on razz: did i say i wasn't going to see it when it comes out ? i do hate waiting for a very great movie ! it seems to me like a very very good movie that as to be seen at least once in a theather. but i also mentionned how the only thing that made people look for the first one, was the battle scene not the actual story line which is kinda sucking when it comes to the CHOSEN ONE !
really, do a guy that didn't knew anything the first day, can know everything about the matrix 4 days after his liberation ?
no one and i say no one is capable of learning a very very very very very very very very difficult language such as the matrix !
overall...
STORY = is great, but the CHOSEN ONE IDEA is very very very very stupidly made !
BATTLES = awsome in themselves
ACTIONS = lots of em and that's what people asked for
see what i mean now ?
as for the fact that neo died, he didn't ! as far as i know death, when you are dead,m you don't breath you can't stop bullets and you can't be moving ! so no, he didn't died ! the oracle said that at a certain point, morpheu or neo would have to choose who will die... she never told that one of em had to die !
did you ever knew that we can do our very own future !
her predictions are real yes, but like she said... would you have destroyed it if i had never told you about it ? that meant that once you know what the future holds, you can easily change it !
for all i know... all that CHOSEN ONE thing, was all messed up and about all my friends and family. told me the same ! so there must be some truth to what i say !
as for the this movie being the biggest ever made, why would you have seen TOMB RAIDERS or GONE IN 60 SECONDS ? most of the poweple i know answered that it was for the girl !
when i asked around, they all said they would like to see the MATRIX RELOADED cause there was AWESOME ACTION SCENE ! which brings me to one conclusion... people don't have anything to care about a story when they have a lot of bloodshed and fighting scene !
so yeah, i still think the people who will see it the most are the one that wants to see the battles sequences ! they don't even care about the story !

[b:post_uid11]did you guys know, the MATRIX film was originally conceptualized by Grant Morrison from the comic he wrote the Invisibles for DC but when he knew DC ripped him off, knowing the fact that DC owns Warner Bros, he quit working for DC!!!![/b:post_uid11]

ssj he does start to lose his power because the matrix is being reloaded. If u think he was at full strength dont u think he would destroy the matrix by now, and u know those guys with the long white hair they are sentinels who went in the matrix they are the super agents. They're probably stronger then neo.
The new agents can go through walls'n stuff. So, yeah.'
But karma, again aboot the "Neo knowing about all he can do" . . . I go back to this. Does an anti-virus program have to learn how to use itself before it can get rid of virusses?
But anyhoo, I don't wanna get into any big arguement here, that's just my point of view.
SSJKarma
05-12-2003, 05:30 PM
razz: yes an anti-virus is learning !
he doesn't know how to delete viruses if you don't tell how the viruses works ! aka, updates that you do to it !
as far as i know, i'll give you what i mean, when you are born, did you know how to code a web page or did you learned it day by day until you have skills you have now ?
that is what i mean... if someone showed to neo how he could do those things he does, i could have believe it. but all he had to know was that he wasn't in reality and suddently boom, he knows everything and can do everything including killing an agent that was way way way stronger then him like 30 seconds before !
as far as i'm concerned, yeah neo can shut off the matrix right away !
but there is one thing that i'm not sur eof... is if he really can do it without killing all those peoples !
other thing that doesn't go in the story !
if the agents are capable of taking the place of any person that are still connected onto the matrix, why haven't they took neo when he was right in morpheus faces ? it could have solved a lot of their problems right away !
anyway... hope to see it ! the action scenes seems tight !

ssj, they cant turn into anyone in the matrix only the ones who cannot get into the real world because they are not permanently in the matrix!
SSJKarma

if you're still plugged to the matrix, you are potentially an agent !
that's a quote from morpheus that was saying that anyone still plugged onto the matrix... IE:neo before they bringed back ! can become an agent. the agent just has to know where the guy is ! (they really know everyting going on in there)

k, you got me. lol :buttrock:
but I have another thing to say now.
but all he had to know was that he wasn't in reality
Have you ever had a dream where you knew you were dreaming? In those dreams, you can do anything. You can fly, make things appear/disappear, whatever. How? Because you know it isn't real. Neo knows the Matrix isn't real. It's like a dream . . . and he knows he's dreaming.

well.. then why aren't the others able to do it ?
as far as i know, they knew way before neo came in !
anyway... seen the movie about 3 hours ago...
I HATE THE to be continued at the ####### end !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE MATRIX REVOLUTION LOOKS AWSOME !
24 hours is what they have in the whole movie !
IE: the first movie hapenned, the second is 6 months later, the third is 5 seconds later !
basically, the second and third movies are actually one and the same, except they cutted it in half !
kinda like they did for the LORD OF THE RING movies !
anyway... yeah the story is even more cheesy then the first one, but the action sequences are way to much... the first movie looked like #### compared to this one !
also...
*******************************
*******************************
******* SPOILER ALERT ************
DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW
*******************************
*******************************
the oracle is a MACHINE !
that was ####### awsome !
but it was to be guessed, i mean, like she said, there are good and bad programs, just like there are good and bad humans !
did you saw that revolution has the GOOD MACHINES (those who knows they need humans to live and knows that humans needs them to live) and the humans against the BAD MACHINES ! (those who wants total control)
also, NEO saving TRINITY like she did in the first was even more faith full and realistic, after all in the matrix he can pass thru people codes !
but the story...
THE CHOSEN one history is all false ! morpheus was living in a dream that the ORACLE BUILT only to learn how humans think and reacts so the new matrix that will be RELOADED for the 7th time. can solves most of their problems !
anyway... that's true, neo is the 6th CHOSEN ONE... everytimes it comes to that very same end, but the matric just reload and everythings starts back again ! that's why the third movie is existing...
neo couldn't destroyed the matrixc without killing everyones still inside !
so scion is still in great danger and the count down is 24 hours before scions gets completely destroyed !
so the first movie will be all about those 24 hours !
also...
I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
neo can still do everyting he could and even more !
no agents are strong enough to rival him and he even defeat all 75-100 agents smith !
so just call me nuts again... all that CHOSEN ONE things was just bullpoop anyway... can't wait to see the 3rd and final movie !
also... MORPHEUS is the one who killed the two GHOST GUYS !
guess what... THEY AREN'T AGENTS ! they are bodyguards and men or arms ! they protect one program and serves him. the agents aren't the only programs living in the matrix you know... zillions of programs exists in there ! from the wind program to the human programs passing by everything else that is in between like gravity and the likes !
what i love is the BACK DOOR SYSTEM they showed us... it was awesome just like any real programmers would add them to his own creation !
PS: they finish with this...
TO BE CONTINUED...
NEXT EPISODE...
*play the trailer from the matrix revolution*
Ooooh, do you get to see what Zion looks like?

uummm, i agree, i mean matrix reloded is gonna be awesome!!!

zion is awesome
and so is the game i got it at 10pm on the 15th
for the pc and my friend got it for xbox
btw karma im not confused anymore i put the pieces together
i now understand whats going on
just think of the matrix as ur desktop pc
every program does something
from firewalls to windows or linux itself
they are programs that run little program
like the atchitect (correct me if im wrong) he was like the os (windows) and if u look at it neo and hes friends are considered viruses
