Hotter and Sexier | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_108c268e | comment |
Hotter and Sexier: The first film had little Fanservice in it, being a fairly tightly paced film focused on the mythos and journey of Neo. note The sole exception was the Lady in Red in the Agent Training Program, whose purpose was to distract Neo and prove Morpheus's point about the illusory and transient nature of the Matrix. This film however features several instances of fanservice that can borderline gratuitous. Including: The rave scene which is essentially Three Minutes of Writhing en masse for all of Zion interspersed with clips of Neo and Trinity having sex, the camera making sure to include full body shots of the two actors. The scene in which the main trio meets Merovingian, which includes him feeding a woman in a tight-fitting pink dress (as a Call-Back to the iconic Lady in Red scene from the first film) a piece of cake laced with the program equivalent of an aphrodisiac. Though it's all rendered using scrolling code, the camera goes up her skirt to show the aphrodisiac's effect. A close-up of Neo making out with Persephone as it's the payment she asks for telling them where the architect is. | |

Became Their Own Antithesis | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_11a74598 | comment |
Became Their Own Antithesis: Agent Smith unfavorably compared humanity to a virus in the first film, then gains the power to clone himself by overwriting the "code" of other people plugged into the Matrix in this one... very much like a virus overwriting the DNA of cells. His glasses also change from the square agent glasses to a pair that resemble the capsid of a virus. | |

The Matrix Reloaded / int_1206d299 | comment |
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: A variation. This is revealed to be why despite occasional attacks, the Machines haven't attempted a full-on invasion of Zion until now. Zion's existence is a necessary component of the Architect's Matrix Cycle. The Machines can't destroy the city until the One is finally awoken and they're ready to initiate the final stage of the current Cycle. | |

Evil Versus Evil | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_1645005b | comment |
Evil Versus Evil: The entire film can ultimately be summed up as a giant free-for-all clusterfuck among bad guys, with the Redpills stuck in the middle of it all. To count, there's the Agents and the Machines in general, the Merovingian and his mooks, and finally Smith making a mess everywhere he goes. It isn't until the third movie when there are finally two clear factions: Smith, and then everyone else. | |

The Worf Effect | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: When Agent Thompson shows up to the Burly Brawl, he's immediately approached by one of the Smith clones, who quickly and effortlessly assimilates himnote Or rather, the bluepill Thompson was hijacking. This not only shows how dangerous Smith has become, but also how Smith is hostile not only to mankind, but now to machinekind as well. Subverted with the standard Agents and Zion characters. Thanks to his abilities, Neo can still effortlessly take on Agents and easily best them. As standard redpills, however, Morpheus and Trinity don't have that advantage. So, taking on Agents is still just as dangerous as it was in the first movie. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: Despite Smith overwriting Bane's self-image and downloading himself into the Real World, neither Ballard or his Operator seemed to notice this from the Matrix feed (and likewise ignore obvious signs that "Bane" is now acting strangely). Could be justified, as Link later observes Smith doesn't read like an Agent (and doesn't understand what's happening when Smith tries overwriting Neo during the Burly Brawl). Ballard and his crew are also distracted by the priority of getting the Oracle's message back to Zion (and the impending attack). | |

Beard of Evil: At the end, Neo and his Evil Counterpart are lying unconscious. How do we know that Bane is evil? Well, aside from the fact that we saw him get possessed by the Big Bad and the rumours that he sabotaged his teammates, the most compelling piece of evidence of his evil is probably the facial hair. Or the "duh duh DUUUHH?!" music that plays when the camera pans over to him. The Architect sports a natty full beard. | |

The Matrix Reloaded / int_31f9cec9 | comment |
Critical Staffing Shortage: The Nebuchadnezzar is still operating with a skeleton crew even 6 months after the events of the first film (and Cypher's massacre). Dialogue from the Kid during his first scene indicates that save for a new Operator (an understandably mandatory posting that had to filled after Tank's death), Morpheus has dragged his heels on filling the other vacancies. Morpheus' specific reasons for the delay are left ambiguous. While it's not stated, it's not hard to imagine that Morpheus and Trinity are still grieving the deaths of their surrogate family and aren't emotionally ready to let new people into their circle. | |

Awful Truth | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_363f94c9 | comment |
Awful Truth: An even more staggering truth than the previous movie's: the prophecy is a lie. Neo is simply the latest in the line of "Ones", of which there have been five before and were given a choice upon stumbling on the Source: either reject the offer put forward by the Architect and witness the Matrix crash catastrophically, killing every human still connected to it, while the Machines lay waste to what remains in Zion to eradicate humanity entirely or travel to the Source, whereby twenty three men and women of the One's choosing will be used to repopulate Zion while what currently lays within is destroyed and the One is killed to reclaim the Prime Program. The rebellion Neo and the rest of Zion have been fighting has been nothing but the latest in a recurring cycle that the Machines allow in an effort to create the illusion not just inside the Matrix but outside as well that humanity still holds their destiny in their own hands. | |

Five-Second Foreshadowing: Smith, having come Back from the Dead, accosts Neo after he finishes his chat with the Oracle. There's a cut back to control on the Nebuchadnezzar, where Link notes "he's not reading like an Agent." Smith proceeds to tell Neo he's no longer an Agent in about so many words. Before Smith arrives, Seraph insists to the Oracle they must leave. He knows Smith is inbound and as the next film will reveal, the Oracle can't allow herself to be assimilated by Smith — at least not yet. It's still too early in her plan and that particular play isn't possible yet until Neo rejects the Architect's ultimatum. | |

Magpies as Portents: Agent Smith's arrival is heralded by a flock of crows. This is done because in older, superstitious cultures, crows or other corvids (e.g., magpies) showing up was considered to be a sign that something bad was on the way. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Neo deals these out like candy due to having become a Physical God in the Matrix. There's exactly one scene in the entire movie where someone manages to deal him an injury, and it's so insignificant it doesn't slow him down at all. During the finale it's revealed that his abilities even transcend the Matrix into the real world, when he curb-stomps five Sentinels without any weapon. Morpheus versus Agent Johnson, which highlights that Agents are still to be feared by the other redpills outside of Neo. Morpheus literally barely does scratch damage to the Agent before getting disarmed and almost killed. Trinity versus Agent Thompson, which goes so badly for Trinity that Thompson actually manages to kill her. | |

Morton's Fork: The Architect presents Neo with this. If he goes straight to the Source, he and all but 23 humans he chooses to rebuild Zion to resume the cycle will die. If he goes back to the Matrix at large, he can't restart the Matrix's code to keep it operating, killing him and every human connected to it and leaving Zion's people to die in the Final Battle with the Machines. The Architect presents the first choice as self-evidently the Lesser of Two Evils, and when Neo defies him, he responds dismissively. | |

Power-Up Food | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_422f23f9 | comment |
Power-Up Food: This is subtle, as we don't see an overt un-natural effect from consuming food until The Merovingian slips a rather special dessert to his victim. In that scene it is obvious that this is done to inject code into the target. Before that scene The Oracle slips Neo a red candy just before the Burly Brawl. And in the previous film, she made sure he had one of her cookies. Did these alter Neo's in-Matrix code to give him additional skill to defeat an army of Smiths, and (in the first movie) set him on the path to truly become The One? | |

Intimidation Demonstration: During the Burly Brawl, Neo hits an Agent Smith with a pole and knocks the concrete off the end, then spins it around to intimidate the other Smiths watching. During the fight in the Merovingian's château, Neo does a brief spin display with the two sai after he pulls them off a wall to him. Also, one of the Merovingian's goons spins his swords around in an intimidating way before attacking Neo with them. During Morpheus' fight with the albino ghost Twins, each of them does some fancy moves with their straight razors before fighting him. During Morpheus' fight with Agent Johnson on top of the truck during the car chase. After pulling the sword out of the side of the truck and slicing through Johnson's tie, Morpheus swings the sword around a few times. | |

Non Sequitur Environment: The Merovingian's chateau has perfectly innocuous-looking portal doors connecting his home with other locations across the Matrix. As such, it's a bit of a surprise when Neo tries to follow the Merovingian back through doors that previously led to an urban restaurant, only to find himself suddenly up in the mountains. Happens a second time when the Keymaker escapes via a door leading into a carpark back in the city; once again, Neo tries to follow, only to get the same result as last time when one of the Twins slams the door in his face... so he gives up and just flies back. | |

Wham Shot: The newly resurrected Smith remarks on Neo's fight with the upgraded agents, to another Smith. Smith overriding Bane, just before he returns to the real world. The final shot of the film. Smith-as-Bane is the sole survivor of the failed Zion fleet counterattack. The implication (which Enter the Matrix concurrently and explicitly confirmed) is the premature EMP detonation was sabotage and "Bane" was responsible. More, Neo is now in a coma, lying mere feet away from (a version of) his archenemy, and helpless when Smith finally wakes up. | |

Invincible Hero: Now that he has the powers of The One, Neo is simply too overpowered for there to be much real tension in any action scene involving him. He opens the film effortlessly fighting off three Agents, and only shows off greater powers from there. The biggest action scene actually doesn't involve him at all, with the tension shifted to whether he can get there in time to save the day. | |

Second Chapter Cliffhanger: In a Two-Part Trilogy case, it ends with Neo in a coma and the emergence of Smith as an enemy unaligned with the machines, though just as dangerous. It also removed the possible solution that Neo had been working towards during the rest of the movie. This possibly reduced the drama because it made a lot of the actions of the second movie a great big "Shaggy Dog" Story when going into The Matrix Revolutions. | |

At the end of the first film, he could transcend the rules of the Matrix and do virtually whatever he wants, to the point that he can tear Agents apart by their very code. In this film, due to "upgrades," he must fight the Agents hand to hand again. He also never attempts to warp reality in any way beyond what we've already seen him do: stop bullets and fly (the latter of which he doesn't even think to do against the mass of Smiths that descend on him until there's so many they manage to dogpile him). | |

Shoot the Hostage Taker: While fighting one of the Twins, Trinity is captured and held while being threatened with a straight razor. The Twin orders Morpheus to Put Down Your Sword and Step Away. Morpheus shoots him in the head, which forces him to desolidify long enough for Trinity to escape. | |

Only the Chosen May Wield | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_6aada778 | comment |
Only the Chosen May Wield: It's a matter of this trope combined with Only the Worthy May Pass. Neo and friends follow The Prophecy of the Oracle to end the Man/Machine war by way of a stack of living and non-living Plot Coupons and Plot Devices that must be first discovered or destroyed, culminating with a minor character dying, passing on a key for Neo to open a door to the source of the Machines. It was all for nearly nothing, as all the protagonist's work is yet another way for the Machines to keep control. Despite that, Neo figures out another option in time. | |

Once More, with Clarity: The opening begins with Trinity attacking a place, before being attacked by Agent Thompson and apparently dying. It's not until the climax that the whys and wherefores are given (it's the only way to get Neo, Morpheus and the Keymaker where they're going. Another crew was supposed to handle it, but they all got killed). | |

In addition, these rejects would knowingly be allowed to leave the Matrix and fight it from the outside (in Zion), where they would be destroyed every once in a while. | |

Car Chase Shoot-Out: When Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus try to get The Merovingian to hand over the Keymaker, he refuses though Persephone allows them to rescue him. While Neo holds off the forces in the Chateau, Morpheus and Trinity grab the Keymaker and flee onto the highway with The Merovingian's top henchmen, The Twins, in pursuit. This ends up attracting the attention of Agents in the process who join in as well. Not only is it a gunfight but a few close range martial arts and sword battles as well. | |

Fetch Quest: Bizarrely, this seems to be the entire plot of this film. Visit this guy, go to this guy to get this guy, get this guy to that thing. ... The Merovingian actually notes this, mocking the heroes for mindlessly following the Oracle's orders; Persephone mocks the Merovingian for calling everything "a game"; the Keymaker fatalistically states that he has no purpose but to expedite the quest; and the Architect mocks Neo for believing he "chose" anything in his life. The "revolutions" of the last movie are when both humans and machines break off the fetching. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Morpheus is indirectly responsible for the destruction of the Zion fleet. If he hadn't asked the Caduceus to remain behind in case the Oracle attempted to contact the Resistance, Smith would never have possessed Bane and made it into the real world to sabotage the fleet during Lock's counterattack. In Morpheus' defense, the siege of Zion in the next film shows that even if Lock's counterattack had worked, it would've been a temporary victory at best; the Machines would have simply sent in a much larger second wave and the Zion fleet would've still been overwhelmed anyway. | |

Neo indeed refuses to cooperate, but the Architect never makes good on his threat, and it's never mentioned again. | |

At the end, Neo and his Evil Counterpart are lying unconscious. How do we know that Bane is evil?

Took a Level in Badass: Morpheus thinks Zion's done this in the interim between the first two films. Previously, while Zion was a threat, the Machines understandably also regarded the remnant of humanity as a nuisance at best. The discovery of the One and the Resistance's successes over the last 6 months have resulted in the Machines now classifying Zion as a serious enough threat to launch a full-scale invasion. In actuality, it's a subversion. The Machines still aren't taking Zion seriously. They were merely biding their time until the One's emergence fulfilled the conditions to initiate the current Matrix Cycle's final stage before rebooting. | |

Made of Iron: Averted with Merovingian's Mooks. Persephone initially builds them up as being very hard to kill, only being vulnerable to things like wooden stakes or silver bullets. Unfortunately, they do not quite live to their fearsome reputation during the Chateau fight. Despite all of them being capable of withstanding infinite amount of punches and blunt attacks (expect for Cain, who somehow dies after being kicked into a statue), they all die from sharp weapons as quickly as a regular human would. | |

When Agent Thompson shows up to the Burly Brawl, he's immediately approached by one of the Smith clones, who quickly and effortlessly assimilates himnote Or rather, the bluepill Thompson was hijacking. This not only shows how dangerous Smith has become, but also how Smith is hostile not only to mankind, but now to machinekind as well. | |

Neo deals these out like candy due to having become a Physical God in the Matrix. There's exactly one scene in the entire movie where someone manages to deal him an injury, and it's so insignificant it doesn't slow him down at all. During the finale it's revealed that his abilities even transcend the Matrix into the real world, when he curb-stomps five Sentinels without any weapon. | |

Motive Misidentification | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_aa3d3d1a | comment |
Motive Misidentification: During his meeting with Lock, Morpheus believes the impending Machine attack is a direct consequence of his crew finding the One and the Resistance's victories in the interim (such as freeing more minds in 6 months than they had in the past 6 years). He's confident this attack is one of desperation and that the Machines are afraid the tide of war's turned in Zion's favor. Neo ironically is the catalyst for the attack — but not for the reasons Morpheus thinks. The discovery of the One means Zion has actually fulfilled the conditions of the Matrix Cycle and the Machines are ready to initiate the final stage before rebooting for the next cycle. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Two notable aversions during the freeway chase. First, the UMP-wielding Twin runs out of ammo and decides to try the more up-close-and-personal method of getting the Keymaker (although he fires a lot of rounds with no onscreen reloading — far more than his weapon would ever allow on a single magazine). Later, Agent Thompson is very clearly shown having to reload his Desert Eagle. | |

Shout-Out: During the freeway chase scene, the following police radio chatter can be heard: "One Adam-12, please respond." There are also some shot for shot remakes of the scene in Dragon Ball Z when Vegeta is chasing Android 18 on the freeway. Seraph's line "You do not truly know someone, until you fight them" sounds similar to the line "How much do you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?" from Fight Club. | |

Informed Ability: The Agents' upgrades Neo mentions at the beginning of their fight. They don't seem to do them any good, to the point where the guys come across as little more than suit-clad punching bags for Neo. For other redpills however, they are still a legitimate threat, Johnson is able to best Morpheus during the freeway chase and Thompson kills Trinity at the power plant. At the end of the first movie Neo was able to defeat Agent Smith effortlessly; the upgrades are meant to give the Agents a fighting chance against the One. It's a patch, in short. | |

Reset Button | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_d9c4365c | comment |
Reset Button: The first film ended with Neo "seeing the code" and transcending all rules of the Matrix. He's able to outfight Smith effortlessly, using only one hand and without even looking, before he dispenses with fighting altogether and simply tears Smith's code apart. But it wouldn't be very fun if Neo could just effortlessly curb-stomp every Agent he comes across for the next two films. When Neo encounters Agents in this film, he finds that they've been "upgraded," forcing him to fight them in conventional hand-to-hand combat. Furthermore, Neo's other abilities to alter the code of the Matrix are limited to only what we've already seen him do in the first film: stop bullets and fly. So instead of the Reality Warper he's implied to be in the previous film, he's just a superhero. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: Rama-Kandra appears briefly during the audience with the Merovingian; the camera particularly lingers on him from Neo's perspective. The significance of his cameo will be made clear in the next film. | |

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_f1d3f0c9 | comment |
Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Almost all the Architect's dialogue, like it was run through a thesaurus to find the longest synonyms for every noun and then given the most convoluted expression of every concept. He's explicitly doing it deliberately, and mentions Neo worked out what he was actually saying (and that he'd used it to avoid a direct question) much faster than his predecessors. | |

Creepy Twins: The Twins, with their white clothes, deathly pale skin and hair, and (of course) that thing about phasing through matter while looking monstrous. | |

Product Placement: Combined with The Merch. Samsung worked with the creators to create a real life cell phone that was a prop in the film, as well as a piece of merchandise. | |

Forbidden Zone | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_f651b980 | comment |
Forbidden Zone: The Freeways inside the Matrix. A longstanding rule of Morpheus (and by extension the Zion Resistance) is to stay the hell off the Freeways at any cost. Given that each driver of every moving vehicle could potentially become an Agent at any moment, it's justifiably considered an instant kill zone and pure suicide. | |

Shown Their Work | |
The Matrix Reloaded / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The film features a brief glimpse of Trinity hacking a power grid mainframe. Compared with most films' dumbed-down portrayals of "hacking a computer", this instance is remarkably realistic, despite being on-screen for only a few seconds, and references actual hacking tools and known security vulnerabilities (circa 2001). It is likely the creators felt the need to "get it right" since the concept of computer hacking is a central theme in the Matrix films. To elaborate further on this, while most films would feature ridiculously elaborate and impractical interfaces, Trinity enters commands via an SSH terminal to a server (which even uses correct private IP address space instead of illegal IP addresses) to shut power down, and plausible-sounding commands at that. The server's response to the commands are also sensible ways for the program to carry out its function, warning the user what will happen and requesting confirmation of the input, followed by text notifications of the shutdown sequence as it is performed. Not bad for a ten second sequence. | |
