10 - Yup
15 - Nope, but I know exactly the bit of the film you're thinking of.
20 - Of course, and the best part of the whole film is the little grimace he gives as he says it. :)

The bit after Johan goes off his rocker, yes?

And Agent Smith is the best part of the Matrix!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's the bit I was thinking of. And I only sat through the two Matrix sequels for Agent Smith; it isn't so much the lines as the lines, the tone and the facial expression combined.

The first movie was actually a great story, even if I had some serious moral issues, with it, the second was sort of all right, the third doesn't exist!

Quite right about the third one...I really like the first one, even if I acknowledge that a lot of what I like about it just appeals to my adolescent liking for explosions and shootouts and people doing kung fu to each other. I agree with your misgivings; it's the old action movie thing, isn't it - the guards/employees sitting around having their coffee break, little suspecting that certain death in the form of Our Heroes is approaching...How do we know they're Our Heroes? Well, it's in the script. I like the first Austin Powers movie's take on this, where it cuts from some guard meeting a nasty end to his friends/family receiving the bad news ("he was decapitated by a mutated sea bass?!"). Morpheus and his gang were really just another faction of violent revolutionaries, caring little for how many dead bodies they had to climb over to realise their cause.

I'll admit I tend to zone out during fight scenes. I was much more interested in the whole Matrix ''mythology''.

Very sensible; without wanting to stereotype, I guess that all of those guns and punch-ups and exploding helicopters are sort of boys' things - unfortunately, I am sort of a boy in that respect...:) The Matrix mythology is actually very interesting, before it goes completely overboard in the third film - it sort of rendered the first film a bit pointless and left me going wha? huh? why? how? who?
