Two minutes (it was longer than two minutes, but I digress) weaving in and out off traffic as well as oncoming traffic with a lot of narrow misses. You make it, albeit ignorantly, sound like she just drove down a deserted street. But I guess anyone can drive a motorcycle like that, right?

Oh, I was unaware she rode down Highway 101 during rush hour. I was put under the impression it was a closed set with model and cgi cars and backgrounds. I'm sure you are right and she was doing all that stuff for real.

Wow, they used a lot of CG in the movie?

They used too much. It was a crutch. The first one looked better because they knew how to use it in moderation.

I guess they should blow up a power plant for real, right?

I don't have too much of a problem when the powerplant blew up.

Or perhaps they should build actual working sentinels or ships;

Or build models and animatronics.

maybe even put people on top of moving rigs and have a fight, too.

they did it before cgi. And it looked good.

There was a lot of CG in the first one, too.

But, it was done properly.

INSIDE MATRIX IT IS A COMPUTER WORLD. SO THE RULES OF THE REAL WORLD DO NOT APPLY. THEREFORE, CG MUST BE USED TO CONVEY THE IDEA.

Not entirly. The first one used a moderate amount of cgi, mixed with old fashioned hollywood effects (wires etc) and camera tricks. It look brilliant.
that scene in the first one in the lobby with the guards: wires and high speed film with squibs in the walls. The cgi didn't happen until the explosion. That looked 10x better than the chase scene in Reloaded.

So, how did it look like a cartoon?

When they relied on cgi when there was no need for it.
Lets talk about the scene that really pissed me off, Neo flying.
In the first one, flying represented the fact that Neo was beyond the rules of the matrix. In Reloaded, it was a cool way to get around. Not to mention, instead fo Keanu Reeves in a harness with wires, they went with some very shoddy looking cgi. Why the downgrade? Why did Neo go from the One who understood the Matrix and was above its rules, to a whining little bitch who didn't know the first thing about who or what he was.
there was no difference between Neo and Morpheus, except Neo could get around on his own.
I'm not even going to touch Neo vs Smith.
If I want to watch a movie with a bunch of animated charecters with the occasional human droning on, I'llwatch "Who Framed Roger Rabbit".
