Matrix Reloads to $42.5 Million Opening

Dante Alighieri writes "Box Office Mojo, the Washington Post, E!, and others reports that The Matrix Reloaded opened with a record of $42.5 million in ticket sales." I saw it yesterday and have a variety of opinions on it, but the short review is that it isn't the original, but it's pretty damn cool, and I'm first in line for Revolution.

Let's see, what will we at Slashdot believe today:

• Hollywood and the MPAA are tyrannical fascist money grubbing leeches.
  OR
  
• This is so cool. Hollywood is really raking in the cash hand over fist. 42 million dollars in one day!

just didnt get The Matrix in the first place.

I dont mean to troll, and I'm not. Its just very disapointing to see how many people have now seen two of the three movies, and fail to get the point of it all. You bozo's who think that The Matrix is about Kung-Fu and special effects really need to get your heads out of your asses.

The entire trilogy is nothing but a philosophy lesson, with some cool shit built into it to drag your asses to the theater. If anything, the films have proven to me just how fucked up and stupid most of us are, when it comes to anything requiring thought.

Think I'm wrong and just trolling? Here is a challenge: Can anyone tell me the significance of who was laying next to Neo at the cliffhanger? Can you tell me what it means? Not just who it is, but WHY it is? Can you even remember the cat's name?

Come on, give me a reason to believe that we are all not just a bunch of stupid assholes.

Anyone who gets their philosophy from a Hollywood sci-fi flick is the dumb one. Sorry buddy but your rant was pathetic in the extreme. Want philosophy? Get a library card.
