If you like 'DC Comics' - welcome! "come together, right now!"

Morpheus - “Why doesn’t Neo have any of his powers yet?”
Oracle - “Have you tried turning him off and then back on?”

[DraknalHitdan]

I love how Smith shoots Neo without any sort of pause or hesitation. No taunt or monologue. He just fires.

[gamesboy]

His brain and body finally learned how to spot and reject the attacking signals originating from the Matrix, through their "plug in" systems. He's basically a server admin now.

[KoOkiEzRoCkz]

Neo becoming The One is probably one of the best iterations of the whole ‘Chosen One coming to power’ trope.

[thefearofgds]

I always loved Neo's nonchalant "..no" line right before stopping the bullets. It's like he had become so powerful and realized how small and insignificant his surroundings are now. So much so that even the agents shooting at him are just a mild inconvenience and he just tells them " no, we're not doing that anymore" lol. I love this scene

[accepthisname]

Neo: 'What are you tryin' to tell me, that I can dodge bullets?'
Morpheus: "No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to"

[TheHypestHype]

The amount of swag Neo has when he decides he no longer needs two hands to block Smith's attacks.

[gorrow]

2:51-3:11 I never get sick of watching this. Just the way he effortlessly counters an agent who utterly dominated Morpheus and then stuns him by sending him back.

[zerohours]

And thats how you say "No" to bullets. Remember, bullets have no rights to penetrate you without your consent.

[ArtMissKiss]

Neo: No
Bullets: Understandable, have a great day

[jamesalvarado]

Oracle: sorry kid, you aren't the one. Maybe in another life.

Neo: resurrected and returns to life as the one.

[Nicholas_Chen_]

Life changing scene. Makes you believe you can be the one if you choose to be.

[feminico]

Wow keanu reeves got shot in the chest point blank and he survived it, shows how good of an actor he is.

[masterj]

This first matrix will always be a timeless classic! This is one of the most powerful iconic scenes in movies

[skinsthewin]

The musical score in this movie is SO freaking underrated. It's literally half the reason this film is so damn good.

[TheBrendNew]

They actually set this scene up so well. Remember:
Neo:
What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?

Morpheus:
No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

And then he litteraly doesn't have to dodge the bullets in this scene. Brilliant.

[gicking]

A movie so game changing that it's fight scenes are still the foundation for almost every Hollywood movie since 1999.

Truly amazing movie.

[TheTriangle]

The kiss simply triggered a physical connection from the real world and made him realize he's just in the matrix. Neo was looking clean even after they shot him, others usually bleed out of their mouths to reflect the mental damage

[ripnephils]

I like Smith's attitude. Even when he knew he was fighting an opponent more powerful than him, he fought till the end. When Neo was jumping to get inside him, he still tried to punch. The most effective move till the last moment. The tenacity of a machine.

[NealX_Gaming]

3:07 I love how Neo deliberately moves his leg like that, almost like he's thinking, "I guess I'll put my leg down now, but I really don't have to, it's whatever."
