Ok, I like it. The scene with the *cough* celebration *cough* was a bit too long, but otherwise I think it fits perfectly to the first. So far I've heard nothing but diverse opinions about the movie. They range from 'bullsh..' to 'yeah, when does part III come out ?'. One guy studying with me actually complained, that they changed the matrix itself. I just pointed out, that the way he imagined the matrix was wrong. That made him stumble, mentally Another thing I liked was the almost shakespearian monologues from Smith. He became a separate power within the matrix, like the merowin... (however that name is written ) and I think he will play a good-sized part in the downfall of the matrix, wether he wants it, or not. Another one of the things, I came up with thinking about, was this: at the end Neo could stop the squiddies with his will. Could it be, that the 'real world' was just the imagination of freedom and there is a second matrix around the first Sounds cruel, but that could be just like the architect, to have the few escaping humans bugfixing the matrix for him.
