I thought the first one was superior to Reloaded. The first one had the best balance of action and storytelling. This one often goes into pseudo-philosophical bullshit for a minute then goes into action mode.

What I did like were the little things that added to the story. Like for example, when they meet up with merovingian. The merovingians were a middle ages royal french family that were the ones in power but didnt have the name of king but they eventually decided that they wanted for themselves. It ties in nicely with the fact that merovingian wanted more power. His wife Persephone was imprisoned by him just like in the Greek myth
Also there were a lot of biblical references such as the Architect being God and the first Matrix being the Garden of Eden but humans rejected.
Another thing were the use of 101. 101 is five in machine language. As in the five ones before Neo. And another thing is there are six iterations of One. With Neo, presumably being the last iteration of the One. <!--txtEnd--><!-- spoilerKillit --></td></tr></table><!-- spoilerKillitEnd -->
Oh and one last thing. Not only did Roy Jones Jr. play a part in the movie I caught a glimpse of Cornel West too.
