I looked at Neo's ability as being able to re-program the Matrix at will, which goes beyond the other Resistance fighters being able to "bend the rules" (i.e. exploit bugs).
BTW: I loved the cartoony crash landing of Neo's in the jump program. In case you haven't seen it and want to know: Neo tries follow Morpheus jumping between two skyscrapers. He doesn't make it and hits the street. But since this is only training, the street stretches like a big net, flings him up again, then he finally crashes to the (now solid) asphault.

Hmm, maybe to went to the same show I did. I unconsiously whistled that theme during the "stare down your opponent" phase of Neo and Agent Smith's showdown. After the newspaper blew through, I couldn't help it. -- Chris Nye cnye@home.com Programming is an art form that fights back
The scene where they were infecting the system with Michael's virus definitely reminded of Resevoir Dogs, right down to the black suit Peter was wearing. But the best part was the way the shots, music, slo-mo and stop frames built this up into some complicated scheme, then Peter comes back (with everything back to normal) and said "Gee, that wasn't that hard." I was just rolling!
And I just have to say that it's a good thing I saw this on a friday. If I had gone to work the day after seeing this, I don't know what I would've done:)
When I saw this was out, I surfed over to Reel.com to check out pricing. Hmm, DVD is 17.99 with a saving of $7, but VHS is $90.99 with a saving of $16. So my question is: who's selling the VHS version for $107? And if VHS tapes are going up in price this much, I need to start looking around for a DVD player...
Yes, I know it's a typo, I've already sent a mail to them asking for the correct price. I just found it funny.

Just thought I'd throw in my $0.02:
