Been hearing mixed things about it, too. Lots of people seem to think the original was the best out of the three&#8230; and as I haven&#8217;t seen the third one yet, I am in no position to be choosing sides. Speaking of the original, it was on TV tonight, so what do I go and do? I go and watch it. I must complain about the editing job on the movie, though: they cut out my favourite part! They cut out Spoon Boy! Of course, it then makes no sense when Neo later says, &#8220;There is no spoon,&#8221; during the rescue mission.<\/p>\n<p>And after following several discussions on message boards, I realize that Keanu Reeves is OLD. Like 39 years of age old >>; I always thought he was in his early 30&#8217;s or something&#8230; >>; And although he&#8217;s not the best actor in Hollywood, I&#8217;m not sure that another actor could have fitted the part so well. To me, Neo always had a touch of &#8220;What is going on and why isn&#8217;t anyone explaining this to me?!&#8221; look, which Reeves pulls off quite well. Will Smith as Neo would not have worked, mostly because it would have given the film a completely different tone. ??;;<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ll end my Matrix rambling with several quotes. Because quotes are always fun.<\/p>\n<p>Oracle: You&#8217;re cuter than I expected. No wonder she likes you.<br \/>\nNeo: Who?<br \/>\nOracle: Not too bright, though.<\/p>\n<p>Tank: Okay. What do you need, besides a miracle?<br \/>\nNeo: Guns. Lots of guns.<\/p>\n<p>[Don&#8217;t you love how the answer to everything is always guns? And lots of them?]<\/p>\n<p>Agent Smith: Do you hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability. That is the sound of your death. Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.<\/p>\n<p>And&#8230;. *drumroll*<\/p>\n<p>Spoon Boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That&#8217;s impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth.<br \/>\nNeo: What truth?<br \/>\nSpoon Boy: There is no spoon.<br \/>\nNeo: There is no spoon?<br \/>\nSpoon Boy: Then you&#8217;ll see that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.<\/p>\n<p>So, so, deep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meh, I still haven&#8217;t seen \\The Matrix Revolutions\\.
