Matrix Reloads to $42.5 Million Opening 815
Dante Alighieri writes "Box Office Mojo,
the Washington Post, E!, and others reports that The Matrix Reloaded opened with a record of $42.5 million in ticket sales."
I saw it yesterday and have a variety of opinions on it, but the short review is that it isn't the original, but it's pretty damn cool, and I'm first in line for Revolution.

I saw Matrix last night, but it seems that the silly folks at the theater lost the last 5-15 minutes of the movie!
One second, we were watching Neo and the other dude on the table, and then all of a sudden the movie abruptly said "To be continued", and went straight switched to the credits!
Where's the conclusion? I'm out here hanging in the wind! Half the audience was booing...
Argggg!
[/minor spoilers , but I think it's fair to warn people about the ending to this movie so they're not dissapointed]

Everyone knows that Agent Smith is Neo's father and that Trinity is his long-lost twin sister.

Quoting the review:
I summed it up by comparing it to Highlander 2, the worst sci-fi movie of all time.
If he thinks Higlander is sci-fi, he seriusly should stop writing reviews..

Ah, I suspect you missed the point. I, like many others, watched the scene turn into a rave -boring after about fifteen seconds. Once I realized they were going to play the entire dance track however, it was the perfect opportunity to deal with the cause/effect of a couple pints before the movie.... LOTR was not near as forward thinking.

Well, if a computer has to decide which is the most reliable, secure operating system to work with, would you expect to see Windows NT or Mac? What you should be saying is, "choosy computers chose Unix."

My analysis (Score:3, Funny)
Everything from the first movie is a lie.
Neo is a program, not human.
Nobody ever left the matrix.
We no longer know what the matrix really is.
There's this 'architech' guy who really runs the whole show.
For all we know, the matrix is really just a video game. At the end of Revolutions we might see some kid pop a disk out of his computer and say "I'm bored of this game." That'd be funny.
OK, now imagine yourself some silly CG fight scenes. Oooohh.. Ahhhh.. OK, now save your $8.50 and donate it to the EFF instead of the MPAA. Isn't our *real world* technological freedom more important than some silly hollywood movie? Don't be hypocrites, folks. Don't support these guys.
And no, I didn't personally go see Reloaded.

No, I don't know why the dance (was in no way an orgy) sequence was even filmed. But I do know why it went on so long. Because it cost so much to film.
No, I don't know why the keymaker made keys.
No, I don't know why the french guy has been arround for 6 iterations. I guess he just likes hot babes.
Yes, I do know why the hot babe brunette sequence went on so long. That is one hot babe.
