Can't believe this review is so old the critic still had hair

Doug Walker: “I’ve reviewed all the Matrix movies.” Homer Simpson: “All the Matrix movies SO FAR!”

The Matrix was suppose to use people's brainpower to increase the computer processing power, but the bosses thought people wouldn't get it so changed it to people being batteries.

Did you know: Keanu Reeves fought to increase Carrie-Anne Moss’s salary in the movies. Keanu Reeves is the best.

Tamara constantly sucking in her cheeks as Trinity is hilarious

Ironically, that whole idea of breaking away from a system of conformity and controlled thought where you don't have to love something everyone else loves is the major theme of The Matrix.

In the first movie humans were suppose to be RAM and that's why they needed brain power, but the network said that people wouldn't understand and they should dumb it down, so: batteries. Which, like you said, defeated the purpose of a Matrix

I do actually think that the French dude is actually a former One who survived as code and lived in the next Matrix. Think about it, he's able to manipulate the code of the Matrix, the only program to do so, he has the ghost dudes, former agents from a previous Matrix and other old programs working for him, he is allowed to capture powerful programs like the Keymaker with no problem, and the agents don't seem to want to mess with him. He survives Smiths attack unscathed, even the Oracle couldn't do that. Also, his wife his named Persephone, which makes him Hades, the King of the Underworld, like a God. Hence, a former One, who survived his Matrix movies and know lives in the next one.

Not gonna lie, Neo's fight against the army of Smith's after his meeting with the Oracle is the best damn scene in the entire trilogy.

When Agent Schmuck took off his glasses, I was literally expecting it to be a Roger Rabbit moment

"Why are you looking over there?" "I dunno ,just feels right." 😂

"Cookies need love, like everything does..." I still fall on the floor laughing!

Here's the problem with Doug's criticism of the Matrix's "plot hole." The human body needs the brain to power it. A lot of the body's biolelectricity comes from the brain, it's the most powerful organ in the body. Without the brain, the rest doesn't work. That's why the machines need the human mind to be active in the Matrix. They even say that in the movie.

Tom is Doubting Thomas from the Bible. Andersen literally means Son of Man. I’m an Atheist so no preaching here

7:23 Think of the agents as an anti-virus software. You can use one on your pc to perform a super quick virus scan but they still have to check each folder(cubicle) one by one till it finds the virus file(Neo). If it was as simple as "code google" searching to find a virus, anti-virus software wouldn't be necessary in the first place. And yes, if you move a file to a different folder then it literally does mean that the code for that file is no longer in the old folder.

With all of the biblical references in the first Matrix movie, I wouldnt be surprised if Neo's name being Tom was in reference to 'doubting Thomas'

There is a character in Beavis and Butthead named Tom Anderson. 😂

I think what has aged the poorest about the Matrix movies were the outfits. The black suits and jackets were cool at the time, but what considerably normal person, in the real world, wears stuff like that on a regular basis? Most people today are wearing discount sneakers and cheap polyester t-shirts.

Keanu’s best roles is when he speaks less. Just get to the action

Even if you dont like it, you have to admire how successful it was. Its advertising was genius. Especially in japan, getting an anime made with a million different animation styles.

I shall love the Matrix Trilogy forever because it gave birth to the "pretentious blow-off" scene at 58'. Thank you Nostalgia, you made my day. THAT is Matrix...

Definitely love your videos, including this one despite our overall opinion difference on the 1st Matrix. You always make valid points and do so in an extremely entertaining way. Love your work! Keep it up!

Thanks for putting up all of the matrix reviews into one video Nostalgia Critic as it made my weekend feel a whole lot better❤❤

Neo was already in the mountains in that mansion. The twins used the key makers keys to open a door to different area. The door did close and that's why neo wasn't in the same place as them when he burst through the door. THEY teleported, NEO was still in the same place.

It’s funny that you mentioned the Smiths combining into one big monster, because in one of the Matrix games they actually do that.

Harry potter reviews before the tv reboot tears it all down!

Wanted to sound like Hugo Weaving, ended up with drunk Nicolas Cage 😂.

Yes! Love your compilations Doug! Keep them coming! ❤❤❤❤

Love that is all on one video now. Thanks Channel Awesome.

Doug truly is the one ;)

Agent Shmuck is my favourite Doug Walker character, hope to see him again soon

Felt warm and fuzzy in my tummy when this showed up on my feed.

"Why is there a Matrix?" Smith said why in the movie. They first created a utopia that the humans rejected and they lost entire crops so, they created a second reality that was more believable to the humans. This way they could harvest the energy they needed to survive. It's not a plot hole if it doesn't break the movie's logic and, that's the logic the movie established. It sounds like you don't understand the fiction part of science fiction and are instead basing your criticisms on how things work in real life but, it's not real life, it's a movie.

Fun Fact: The Matrix Sequels (Matrix 2 and Matrix 3) were shot back to back!

Honestly, having just watched the new Little Mermaid, the effects in these films look amazing.

Neo: That was you on my computer... How did you do that? Leslie Neilson: With a computer, but that's not important now Mondoshawan: Only life important

I love these persistent skits that accompany the reviews, matrix and the devil being my 2 favorite. You should do these more, the pirates month one was good but felt a bit short.

56:00 to their credit at least they don’t fight him one-on-one while the others just stand there. They save that for the third movie.

Ok, I understand the issue with "choice" and "purpose", but "move with purpose" *is* an actual saying that I've only heard while I was in the military

1. The AniMatrix 2. The Matrix 3. Matrix Reloaded 4. Matrix Resurrections 5. Matrix Revolutions

When Smith hacks into the crew member, it makes sense because if the person truly believes they are being hacked and truly believes that they are turning into an agent then their mind is not under Smith's control. It's the same concept as if you die in the Matrix, the mind believes that you died and you actually in the real world. I guess the Matrix could have a memory wipe code or like a reset code to make everyone forget the crazy events but it really isn't expalined.

Honestly, I never cared for the Matrix either. If the craze didn't exist I never would have watched any of them.

1:07 The Architect is explaining that there has been 4 "errors" like Neo previously. And that despite him trying to make a hyper realistic virtual trap, humans always seem to see through it eventually. And that people like Nero is the easiest way for him to break people's spirit again so an uprising doesn't happen

Yes! I’m so glad this exists. I rewatched the matrix and couldn’t believe that love was the savior.. HOW LAME!!

I just realized the first name of Nostalgia Critic is apparently Nost Mr. Algia-Critic Nost Algia-Critic Huh

What weird to me about Zion is that it’s portrayed as this like small group of rebel underdogs… but there’s a hundred thousand of them in the hell-looking orgy cave and Zion itself is massiveeeeee. A) how are they underdogs when they number greater than many cities, and B) how has this gargantuan enterprise not been discovered until now?

As someone who is named Tom, that rant about Neo's real name still stings a bit, especially since I've always hated my name and how ... bland it sounds. I guess I now have a small taste of how people named Karen or Chad feel.

"Made for one thing, Seach and Destroy" which is of course two things. The line where Tank calls Neo "a machine" like its a compliment to how fast he's learning - I never understood that either

25:22 - Trinity: I'm not afraid anymore Kevin McCallister: You her me?? I'm not afraid anymore!!

Zion control wasn't in the matrix, Zion is well below broadcast depth. They were in a construct, like the dojo, they're just taking advantage of the hardware the machines installed in them. Human interface devices are probably rather rare, the machines don't need them, and most of their tech appears to be salvaged from the machines.

love all of them

Hey Critic! I’m currently working on a pro-sequels video. Can I use some excerpts from this to refute? I came over from Reddit where I didn’t expect to like this video due to the comments. But it’s really funny!

Them: "did you just take both pills?" Me: Confused stare

For those wondering, the 'gotcha' in the first review of there being no need for a Matrix is pretty lazy. The explanation is in the first film, simulating a Matrix makes the people produce more energy. Considering the tiny amount of people that are going to revolt it's better to have it than not. This in my opinion is one of Doug's weaker reviews. I also hate that even by the time the fourth movie comes along Doug STILL doesn't understand the trans message behind the movies. Like seriously dude, do you even occasionally read anything about movies? This is almost as bad as his misinterpretation of The Wall.

This IS gonna Be fun

That black dot over NC's shoulder when talking to agent smith keeps making me think i have something on my screen. It's driving me crazy😂

The Peter Pan review should be next week leading up to the remake :)

Leather is Tight!

Sucks that he had to mute the Muppet Show theme... ☹️

I hope next year he does an Edgar Wright month, it would give him the perfect reason to cover the Cornetto trilogy and Scott pilgrim Vs the world, blus sing, ant man or last night in soho

Doug having hair brings me back

*Timestamps?!?* 🤔🙄

You know what, I think if you look at the Matrix trilogy as the first Action RPG Movie, it kinda makes sense, with all those damn speaches. cause then it's just characters spouting dialog like in a game....

I saw the original Matrix movie so many times in theaters. My favorite matrix movie was actually the Animatrix because I feel that it was more closer to what the narrative should have been. I know I might be alone on this statement but I think they should have stopped at the first one then the Animatrix and left it obliguous.

“I will. I need a nap anyways.” *Raise pillow. Lean. Walk.* 😂😂😂

The matrix is in the category same as Jurassic Park. They both had their decades and should have stayed in their decades. The last matrix wasn't needed. The reboot of the damn dinosaur movies didn't need to happen

To be honest, i fell asleep before the middle of the last movie

We need a Nostalgia Critic episode on the John Wick films too please

I think its pretty clear in hindsight that the writers were having a mental breakdown throughout these movies starting with the end of production for the first movie. Maybe it was drugs maybe it was the pressure.

After 1:07:15 I just realized when Neo is talking to architect or whatever, you can actually see some of the scenes where Trinity was fighting the agent between blowing up the station and jumping out the window.

The matrix was totally cool. However, the comedy has me laughing so hard!.

Personally I really like the matrix, and yeah it may be a little outdated but it's still a decent movie in my opinion. The key word here is opinion. Lot of people demonize a person when they don't like the same thing that the majority of people do, and that's just not right. Everyone's entitled to their own and shouldn't be judged for it.

okay wow hes totally right the first matrix is like a m night shamalan film

Let's be real Reeves as Spike could have worked

Does this mean his name is canonically Thenost Algiacritic

It dawned to me. Animatrix is the prototype of "Love, Death, Robots"

I strongly disagree with the Critic on his dislike for Matrix 1 movie. But his Agent Smuck is kinda gold!

NC needs to enter the Matrix to have the right opinion -🤓

OK the Python's Holy Grail joke at 1:19 got me good... spit my drink!

I can say one thing Hugo Weaving killed it as Agent Smith

Keanu got so much better at acting and so much more likeable, and you can tell that he really missed Carrie-Anne Moss, he almost sounds nervous when talking about her, its kind of endearing!

The whole “move with a purpose” is pretty common in the military..

You think not liking The Matrix is bad? Imagine all the shit I've taken over the years for not liking The Godfather.

Everyone said The matrix was revolutionary in visual effects

The question is, was this intentionally uploaded during the time when AI is taking over our world, or just uploaded as a routine compilation video. I guess only Tom knows.

*T O M* LoL The only person on the planet to regularly call Neo "Tom".

I genuinely wish the matrix only had the first movie and then the animatrix or a short spinoff that didn't touch the original material. It wasn't fit for a trilogy.

IDK why people overcomplicate the matrix. The machines created a simulation for people but some didn't like being in the simulation and wanted to live in the real world. Those people broke out of the matrix and formed a community called Zion. The machines created programs like the Oracle and the Merovingian to make a game for the unplugged people to keep them from destroying the matrix. The one is just the accumulation (the remainder) of the calculation of the matrix. The longer the simulation runs, the bigger the remainder becomes; like dividing 10 by 3, you get 3.33333... The remainder keeps getting bigger. So to reboot the simulation, the machines trick the unplugged people to find the remainder (Neo) and take him to the source to reboot the simulation and start all over again. The architect makes Neo think that he is saving humanity because the machines are attacking Zion. He does it to trick him into plugging back in to reboot the simulation. What is special about Neo we see is that he chose to save his loved one over saving humanity. When he didn't plug back in, the remainder kept getting bigger which is why he had powers in Zion and why the oracle didn't know what to do because she wasn't programmed with that possibility. Eventually, Neo realizes his purpose is to plug back in to reboot the simulation and so he goes to Machine City. The problem was that Smith had gotten too big because his code got infected by Neo's code and became a sort of Anti-One (-1). So Neo lets Smith plug into him so they can cancel each other out and let the simulation reboot. The problem with making a matrix within the matrix theory is that people would then want to unplug out of that matrix and the machines would then have to make a third matrix for those people, and a fourth, and a fifth, and so on. You would basically end up with infinitely recurring matrices which would then overload the machine running the simulation. So the machines control most people by trapping them in the matrix and the rest of the people are controlled by a fake war between them and the machines.

Now I'm imagining Thomas the Tank Engine as the savior of humanity

Move with a purpose is a pretty common phrase in the military.

I never thought much of the matrix movies I preferred equilibrium

There is no SPOON

I'm so glad that Keanu Reeves' acting has gotten better

Hahaha! I loved the matrix. I'm your age, but my friend group definitely fell for the cool factor. It's style etc was enticing to our simple minds. I always recognized the corny elements, and whether there should or shouldn't be a matrix I think is easy to brush aside as "this is the world they wanted to create" - but for what it's worth, you have convinced me to regard it as less cool, or rather - more corny. I love action movies though, and essentially the stylistic blend of film noir with action was obviously enough to woo me.

No one will read this but I wil make the comment anyway. The architects speech makes total sense because it is erudite and eloquent.

Thumbs up just for ‘Mr Algiacritic’. 😁 For me, the choreography and the music was the love. Snip the best bits out and that’s all you need.

I'm not alone? I'm not alone!!

1:03 one of my favorite visual gags in literally any episode of NC ever
