None of which I have access to. Thanks for getting my hopes up. And then smashing them to bits.

He's talking about this by the way:

I would have just shot him in the leg as he was climbing.

Would you, now?

I got to see it in the theater when it came out. Blew me away. I bought the sequel sight unseen. Not as impressed as I was with the first one.

Would you, now?

If I were one of those badguys yea. I mean sure that guy can out parkour me up the side of the wall, but can he out parkour a bullet traveling 500 mph that is aimed at his back? No, he can't not unless he's the One or my aim is off.

Sure, I might prematurely kill him (wasn't that the goal of those narco-thugs?), and thus ending the movie's plot, but if it slows him down enough that my thugs can grab him and take him to a secluded spot for a 24 styled torture session, then I guess my job is done.

Ruining movies' plots because of realism. Shall we?

Neo getting liquified when he's awoken.

Frodo riding an eagle and dropping the ring into Mount Doom.

Nuking bug planets in Starship Troopers before sending robotic units down to sweep things up.

Transformers never or very rarely missing their target. Humans are screwed.

Don't forget: "Nuking Pandora from Orbit, just to be sure."

I didn't see a point in that 3-minute chase where any of the bad guys really had a shot at him. The guy was fast, and bouncing all over the damn place.

Actually, I think the bad guys were given some plot freebies for even keeping up with him through the building levels. I mean, they'd see him drop down (or climb up) a few floors, and then seemingly teleport to him.

As fast and skilled as that guy was, he should have gotten away in 30 seconds, not 3 minutes.
