Stupid how? Stupid in that you think I just didn't get it, or stupid in that you disagree, therefore it's wrong? I'm not looking for an answer or an explanation. It simply annoys me when you refer to my opinion as stupid, because it implies your opinion is more intelligent, therefore better.

You're saying that you want just the main points, not the rest. They said quite a lot in there that has to do with the matrix, and helps you to understand everything a lot better. That, and wouldn't it be rather stupid if they introduced a new character, gave him 1 line which had a great deal to do with the movie, and that was it? If that did happen, you'd probably be whining about that as well.

One line can be quite a powerful thing if used correctly. Have you ever read Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad? The book was written in a style that could explain a wide range of emotions, and feelings, and still describe the world all in one single sentence.
I found that the Matrix, on the other hand, did the opposite. It took them two sentences to say one thing. It does not make a dialog more intelligent when a person continues making the same point for minutes on end. They could have said the exact same thing with half the dialog, and still preserve the content of the conversation. That was what I was getting at.
(And on a side note, why is it that I'm whining, but you're make a point?)

So you're saying you want a movie where bad guy is introduced, good guy finds hot chick, good guy fights bad guy, movie is over in 15 minutes. Sounds like a stupid TV show to me.

No, I didn't say that. You implied that.

The Matrix Reloaded is a very well crafted movie. It's a shame that some people can't see that.

Simply because I have some criticisms about the way the movie was presented, why am I suddenly oblivious to the fact that it was a great movie? Just because I don't share the same viewpoint as yourself, doesn't mean I didn't see the virtues of the movie.
And finally, I've stated my opinion, I've supported my opinion, and I'm done with my opinion. Accept it for what it is, or deny it. The choice is yours. It's not my job to convince you, and it's not your job to convince me.
