THE MATRIX RELOADED (2003) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@Shrykespeare]

I gotta say - I've watched hundreds of action movies in my life, and that freeway scene might just be the best pure adrenaline rush I've ever gotten from a film.

[@stefanlaskowski6660]

Easily one of the best chase scenes ever filmed.

[@Exarathas]

They built an entire freeway for that scene! It's really awesome

[@shaunwoo]

That Juno Reactor soundtrack during that sequence is iconic.

[@sydhamelin1265]

I thought the fight at the chateau was incredible as well. Felt like it drew influence from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, in how it showcased all the different weaponry. Plus the score was just great. Cut from that to the freeway chase and they somehow managed to actually escalate the action without fatiguing the audience. I think I'm in that rare group that actually prefers this movie over the other two, it's my favorite of the trilogy. It might not have been as story thick as the first one, but the pacing was unreal.

The actor you were thinking was Method Man is actually Roy Jones jr. One of the best pound-for-pound boxers ever

[@davideasterling2729]

Absolutely correct! While preparing for the Matrix and John Wick series, Keanu Reeves trained at Taran Tactical in Simi Valley, CA. He also got to train with LAPD SWATT, and they said he was good enough to ACTUALLY be in their unit! There's some terrific videos of him (And Halle Berry, for JW2) at Taran Tactical that are DEFINITELY worth checking out!

I would hesitate to call it excellent. Worth watching if you're such a huge Keanu Reeves fan that you'll watch almost anything he's in, but otherwise most people aren't missing much. Unless it suddenly gets way better in the second half.

[@the-wordplay-dojo]

Carrie Ann Moss is PERFECT casting as Trinity too. All of the main cast were taken through a lot of pre-filming work on stunts, action etc. She took to the stunt driving like a duck to water. She quickly became one of the stunt drivers / riders. If I recall from one of the documentaries, her Dad was a stunt driver so she's grown up around fast things. I imagine that ability would make her even more attractive to other producers in other movies.

[@pauldrake2245]

This 2nd Matrix is highly underrated. Action was next level. They actually built that freeway from scratch so they could do everything they wanted to do. Incredible sequences. Glad y'all liked it.

[@Daniel-Strain]

Some people don't like the sequels, but I LOVE them. They really open up the world and show even more - not just simple repeats of what we've already seen. They also expand the religious and thematic elements and meaning greatly.

The screens represents all the pervious iterations of Neo. All the version of him made the choice to ‘save/reboot’ Zion by going back to the Source and reintegrate the code he carries and select 23 people, 16 female, 7 male to rebuild Zion. He is the only one who did not make that choice. There always will be people like Neo that will reject the Matrix and that can’t be left to go unchecked.

There is a wonderful irony from the first Matrix where Agent Smith was calling humanity a virus. Here in Matrix 2, Agent Smith is literally a computer virus overwriting others and duplicating himself over them. Not just programs, but People too. One detail you might have missed was the Person picking up the phone was overwritten by Agent Smith. It was Smith who went through the phone into the real world. He was the guy cutting himself. He was also the guy at the end lying next to Neo.

[@pjosepha]

his name is bane- possessed by smith. Basically when smith clone left the matrix to go into real world zion, the real bane died. like a vampire or zombie, the person is already dead- u must destroy the body to set the spirit free

[@IkeThe9th]

Let me go ahead and commend you both for understanding “The Architect” on your first viewing. Your post-game analysis of this movie was spot on and dead accurate. Many of us that watched this in theaters left scratching our heads on what just happened. For me, it lasted an agonizing week because (as my wife says,), I’m pretty dense sometimes. Enjoyed that, thanks!

[@kraven4444]

I don't wanna give it away but I'm surprised so many people don't get when Smith takes over an unplugged.

[@lunacouer]

No seriously - someone in our theater said "HUH??" loud enough for us to hear, and we were all right there with him 😅 It's too bad the internet wasn't what it is today back then. Reddit would've set us straight right away 😅

It goes to show u that the concept of the "matrix" was so ahead of its time. People didnt like the 2nd part because of the convoluted part at the end.

Back when this came out. They had a video game called Enter the Matrix, that ran parallel with this movie. As you played as Niobe and Ghost. They even filmed additional live-action footage for the cut scenes.

[@scottsmith2483]

That's true - and the scene in Reloaded where Niobi catches Morpheus with her car when he falls off the truck on the highway, also plays out in the video game - but you are Niobi and you have to get there in time to catch him! Really well done.

[@ozymandias1758]

I played this game years ago.. fighting the werewolves and vampire analogues in the Merovingians Chateau. So many cool stages, fighting agents off the back of a C130 with the cargo ramp open in flight, the sewers, fighting Seraph and Trinity one on one, too many to list. Extra scenes with the actors and actresses were shot for the cutscenes, Niobe and other minor characters were given a lot more screen time. Best of all, written by the Wachowskis themselves. A true companion experience to the film.

[@alabamamagick]

Was a great game for sure.

[@Feanor12]

Id love to see a movie or series on The Nightmare Matrix program where the Merovingian and they're all from

[@TheFalconerNZ]

When Neo meets the “The Architect” all the TV screens behind him show all the possible outcomes of Neo responses to a question/answer/reaction with each screen also showing the screens for all the possibilities that eventuate from each option he picks so on & so on. As seen when Neo was told the truth some screens behind him showed Neo being angry, some in denial, some in defeat & some in acceptance & once he picked his reaction that screen moves to the foreground becoming reality and the screens behind Neo update to the sub-possibilities for that reaction from there on. And “The Architect” already knows what EVERY screen holds or more clearly, knows all the outcomes from all the decisions Neo can make before Neo arrived.

[@porkflaps4717]

Well, he THINKS he "knows" every possible outcome but he isn't omnipotent and just like the Oracle, his foresight is based on an always changing present time with alot of factors and moving parts and it relies on the choices that others make(or don't make). In other words, his powers of prediction are not perfect and they rely on so much to be accurate that it's subject to mistakes or misinterpretation. Not only that, but his outright hubris to believe he IS omnipotent and can't be wrong plays into it- and that arrogance gave him a blind spot to ONE scenario that he never saw coming: Neo joining with the machines to defeat Smith, sacrificing himself to create a lasting peace, saving (certainly) man, but maybe even saving the machines as well.

[@TheFalconerNZ]

@@porkflaps4717 I would say it was his inability to predict Smith that was his blind spot.

[@robertgibson1156]

The ~20 minutes from "stop lots of bullets" to "rescue Morpheous from the truck crash" I think is the best 20 minutes of action in cinema. Sweaty palms the whole time. There are moments in other movies that are better, but nobody has strung it together like that. Maybe the start of Saving Private Ryan, but I would argue this is better.

[@spextrekid9410]

When I first saw this movie 20 years ago, the world wasn't ready, and everyone was super confused about the architect scene, viewed it as almost incomprehensible. But now, people are just more computer savvy, and a lot of it seems to be more intrinsic to society, so it's a lot easier to absorb now. I think you got the gist of it.

[@kenclan464]

The weapons Keanu uses in that mansion fight scene were Sais. Very cool.

[@joaoenes]

One detail that seemed to me you missed is that the guy lying next to Neo in the final scene is the one turned by Agent Smith right before picking up the phone, and that after was cutting is hand and going after Neo. I hope you watch Animatrix, it gives some back story to the Matrix Universe. It came out before this movie and gives some background to minor details in second and third movies but is not essential to the story.

[@ScottyDoesntKnow69]

[@OgreProgrammer]

Each visit to the Oracle modifies him. When he's almost infected with the Smith virus, that modifies him too (and probably teaches him a trick he uses to restore and heal Trinity). Morpheus got a shot of the Smith Virus too, and I wish they had played with that idea more. Arguably, like how the Merovingian uses code injection (such as that dessert) to manipulate behaviour, Persephone does something similar with the kiss, as well as taking something sustaining for herself.

[@Industriajor]

excelent! no one ever talks about that ... I believe Persephone gains Neo powers by kissing him but then she only uses them secretly for herself... in Revolutions you can understand why she talks the way she does .... because she has some clarividence, she discovers his husband. There is no other way she can guess what the Merv was exactly doing ... (except femenine instinct of course) NO ONE EVER TALKS about that .... great to see you do man (y)

[@catmanduu66]

The thing you need to understand is nothing is real in the Matrix so Neo doesn't have powers. He is rewriting code. That's what he learned at the end of the first movie. Rewrite the code of the Matrix and you can do anything. That's why the girl in the first one said "there is no spoon".

Ay I hope you two react to two more pieces of this franchise. • 'Enter the Matrix' cutscenes - from a canon video game that focuses on what Niobi & Ghost were doing during this movie • 'The Animatrix' - Anthology series of different moments in the matrix that happened to other people. One of the episodes actually shows how Neo saved that guy in Zion that looked up to him, and how he got out.

"The Last Ride of the Osiris" was my favorite in the Animatrix. Explains how they received word of the machines drilling in meeting at the beginning of Reloaded right before Neo fighting the upgrades.

[@DSGodiva]

When Locke says to the council that it’s hard for any man to make such a choice when he doesn’t understand the reason and Niobe, a woman, stands up…Chef’s kiss! Also...one thing you guys kind of picked up on during the cave scene is the connection between Zion and the human body. One of the many interpretations of this series is that Zion represents the body, the Matrix represents the mind, and the machine world represents spirit. And they're all important in their own way.

True. He said in an interview once that he did a ton of training for these movies, but the first day on set when he was asked to hit the stuntman, he couldn't do it. They'd practiced all the moves, but never actually hit anyone, and he was afraid he'd seriously injure the guy. The stuntman assured him he could take a punch, so Keanu hit him ... and yes, he got up again. So Keanu relaxed after that, but he does take the responsibility of wielding these skills very seriously. He'd only use it on someone IRL if there were no other choice. He's a very kind soul.

And they also had techno by Oakenfold and Fluke. One of my favorites was"Furious Angels" by Rob Dougan. The version for the soundtrack was instrumental. The vocal version is almost like a poetry recital. Rob seems to recite the lyrics more than he sings them. One of the BIG pump up songs is the Marilyn Manson one... "This Is The New S#!@". Warning though... the uncut version is raw... The S-word is in the title and it drops a number of MFer bombs too. I believe the Official Video version is cleaned up though.

Greetings Jay and Amber You folks missed Dr. Cornell West as the Council member that call out for ships right before Jada "answers the call". Those are NOT Katanas. A Kitana is a curved, single-edged blade sword with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. Those are called Sais. A Sai is a weapon of a blunted, prong shaped metal baton, with two curved prongs projecting from the handle. There are many different types of Sai with varying prongs for trapping and blocking. Being able to save Trinity, you have to remember that real world is NOT actually real. Neo can basically do anything he wants in the Matrix because he is like a programmer. Hence, he can revive Trinity just by sheer willpower, even if he does not fully understand how he does it. The tvs with the Architect are (in part) like Jay said, all the possible choices / versions of Neo that can occur in order to find the 'correct' version to solve the problem in The Matrix. Think of it like a multi-verse or alternate dimensions. Yes, you need to see the next one to discover how it resolves and what becomes of each character including Agent Smith.

Couldn't stop watching, couldn't stop thinking. If you get a chance on the Blue-Ray set they not only have the Animatrix which preceded both of these films, and then watch the clips from the Video Game, Enter The Matrix which features more of Captain Niobe speaking with the Oracle about why she needs to help Neo in Revolutions, but also features more of Persephone, and the Merovingian, but there is also Return To Source: Philosophy & The Matrix which reviews all three films and the Animatrix and interviews professors of philosophy and theology about the metaphysics and meaning in the films!

Also, that big highway chase scene..., the filmmakers actually build that entire long stretch of highway so that they can control everything down to the tiniest detail. It wasn't shot on any real existing highway.

Where is the 3rd movie, guys?

[@DelightLovesMovies]

I love films like the Matrix films that transport me to another place and time. They are so much fun to watch even though they push all my anxiety buttons.

[@rodgill9376]

Besides the musical score, the soundtrack was always amazing too. You had bands like POD, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Linkin Park, Deftones and etc. I listen to it every once in a while and it still has some good jams. You guys should check it out sometime!

[@BubbaCoop]

Reload and Revolutions came out essentially back to back like Back to the Future 2 and 3.

[@agneskurzaj]

Please, Please, React to the full collection of movie saga's. It's a bit frustrating when a full body of work is not reviewed. The Third movie "Matrix Revolutions" is so, so important to the complete story. I really love sharing saga's like this with the two of you on your movie night reactions. However; unlike other movie series, you have not connected with all of the movies in the complete body of work. This is also seen in your reactions to "The Mummy" collection, The "John Wick" collection, and I believe the final movie in the "Hobbit" collection. I could be wrong. I can't seem to find these additional movies in your reactions. Please let me know if I am looking in the right or wrong place. Have you reacted to these, and I just need to do something different? I know you are trying very hard in your busy life to "Give The People What They Want". Thank you. Canadian Grandma Lori.C.

I love reloaded. That architect scene is one of my favorites. The idea of it, the way he talks, and the thoughts it provokes. I always took the screens as all the possible answers neo could give. Ohh, and thank you for understanding 95% of everything. It was refreshing.

[@no_rubbernecking]

You guys must watch Conspiracy Theory with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. Y'all will be falling off your loveseat but will also love the film!

[@1wordevidence]

Did you guys ever do a reaction to the third movie? Did it get taken down?

[@TheReduxII]

Check out The Animatrix movie. It is a series of short animated films set within the universe and gives the backstory to the Matrix itself as well as how the war began, and some other stories that just flesh out and expand the lore more

[@Klingon2468]

Too right, I luv the Animatrix movie.

[@shotbybrady8793]

I hope Amber and Jay see at least 4 of the 9 Animatrix stories. All 9 would be great!

[@jeremyarrington9427]

the second renaissance

[@andrehawthorn2036]

Roy Jones Jr.(a famous boxer/decent rapper)was the character you guys thought was Method Man. Another cameo you may have missed was Cornel West as one of the Council Members.

[@Neotron2001]

Such a shame you guys experienced the highway chase scene via TV and not in the movie theater. Epic.

[@Industriajor]

after 20 years ... stil the best car chase ever made on a movie!!!

[@PrayerfullyBlessedMama]

I’m so excited waiting for y’all to finish the Matrix with the 3rd as well as the 3rd Back to the Future!!!

[@janethernandez724]

👏👏 Excellent cliffhanger! I hope you watch the Matrix Revolutions! It's totally awesome 👌 I do like Hugo Weaving as agent Smith in this series you watched him playing Lord Elrond in The Lord of the Rings movies! Looking forward to more! ☮️💕👍

[@howtocookazombie]

27:33 I think these are impact attenuators, which are placed on highways. They can be filled with water but nowadays more modern versions are used, which can be retracted and reused. They slow down out of control cars in a safer way.

[@orinocoPL]

You should watch The Animatrix. It's a story between first and second movie.

[@shotbybrady8793]

Will Animatrix get a copyright strike? I hope they go for it! Crossing fingers!

[@jimbo4423]

Chad Stahelski - Started out as Reeves stunt double. He moved up to stunt co-ordinator by the second film. During the first film, in the subway scene where Neo jumps up and smash the agent on his back into the ceiling; Stahelski performed this stunt where they pull his up, with a pulley system, with the agent on his back to smash him into the ceiling. Instead the pulley system stopped working as they were coming down 28 feet....with the stuntman on his back to the ground. Stahelski said "Most of his right leg was messed up." He destroyed his ankle, knee and hip. His knee completely turn around. Pretty bad. He couldn't fly to the states to get surgery until he could at least move his leg. The Wachowski felt bad about what happened so they invited him into the editing room. This is where he learn all about filming and editing. As you know, Stahelski is the director for John Wick. You can see how the Matrix and John Wick movies look a lot like. He learn from the Wachowski. Plus during the Matrix this was the first time (that i can recall) they asked actors to go threw some intense training (martial arts and gun training) so they could perform their own fight scenes. Which Stahelski carried over to the John Wick franchise. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a56WpIpvad-djq8

[@marcusw.bryant4857]

Great reaction you guys. I can't wait for ya'll to react to The Matrix Revolutions

[@1982postman]

That man said Method Man! 🤣

[@unkotatsu]

Why not Revolutions?

[@selleo6838]

Neo flew at the end of the first movie.

[@azmusiclover3384]

Hey all! Love your reactions!! The Matrix series is pretty amazing! I hope your PO box is still valid. I've sent y'all a few items! Have a great day!!!

[@kennethturner8290]

I love the beginning of this movie. The agents are still fear imposing creatures, but no longer so for Neo.

[@datdudeinred]

Why didn't you guys still didn't upload matrix revolutions?

[@drahunter213]

That highway chase scene when trinity is on the motor cycle bobbing and weaving like that I remember watching this in the movie theatre and everyone’s head was weaving left to right as they were weaving though traffic lol literally everyone in the theatre had their heads moving lol I only noticed because of dudes head in front of me and I looked back and everyone was doing the same lol

[@TheMinarus]

I love the fact that you guys understood the themes and messages behind this movie on first watch better than 95% of people

[@dankudlicki1030]

In the beginning you of this movie you were supersized that Neo could fly, but don't you remember that last few minutes of the first movie? This just proves that like everyone else, you have to watch the movie twice to catch a ton of thing you missed watching it for the first time.

[@kingdrogo6124]

Yoo willl yall react to the last one

[@simonatkinson1107]

When Neo is inside the Matrix he is in the digital realm and ANYTHING is possible if you believe it can be. There are actually 4 movies. The last two were made 18 years apart and it is reflected in the film’s plot. They are all great films and all of them mess with your head. If you want a bit of fun with a Keane Reeves movie you need to watch “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure”.

[@jearrico]

Soooooo Matrix Revolutuons Reaction???

[@kORkOR19]

I am so glad I found your channel! You guys are hilarious.

[@Klingon2468]

I have seen all 4 of the Matrix movies, I loved them all but I must say and others have said it 1 watch is not enough I have seen all 4 at least 5 or 6 times each. No spoilers but we get a lot more action in Zion in the 3rd one, and some fancy flying from Niobe. Jay you are gonna love it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@davideasterling2729]

While preparing for the Matrix and John Wick series, Keanu Reeves trained at Taran Tactical in Simi Valley, CA. He also got to train with LAPD SWATT, and they said he was good enough to ACTUALLY be in their unit! There's some terrific videos of him (And Halle Berry, for JW2) at Taran Tactical that are DEFINITELY worth checking out!

[@Ellis_Hugh]

Reloaded was an incredibly good follow-up to the ground-breaking original and set the stage for something truly epic... but the third. in the grand tradition of trilogies, went the wrong direction and left pretty much everyone ultimately disappointed.

[@TheFalconerNZ]

That is a matter of personal perspective. When I read "Lord of the Rings" decades before Peter Jackson's Trilogy's I gave away my hardcover copy because I hated the end but after watching the movies I came to understand that not all endings are "Good" endings, just like in life, so I came to accept it for what it was, not the "Best" ending, but an incredible story.

[@funfunfun3624]

That's like, your opinion man

[@Xeno_Solarus]

Disagree.

[@NoriMori1992]

34:23 This actor is so underappreciated, he nailed this role 150%.

[@thatguyigor]

PLS WATCH THE HOBBIT, IT IS THE CONTINUATION OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS WHICH U LOVEDDDDD PLSSSSS

[@williamroper5422]

A prequel is not a continuation.

[@crystalclarity6766]

I love that you two don’t feel the need to use coarse language. You red-pilled away from lazy communication! Thanks for that!

[@idiot_city5444]

For the love of all things Holy... do not watch the abomination that is the 4th film. Truly horrible garbage. This coming from an absurdly huge Matrix fan that is obsessed with the trilogy haha

[@magicalmiller]

The reason the freeway is very, very bad is because they are around PLUGGED in humans and ANYONE can INSTANTLY be an agent
