10 Best Fight Scenes In The Matrix Franchise

10. Hmm...Upgrades - The Matrix Reloaded

At the end of the first Matrix, it had been established that Neo was now the re-encarnation of Jesus Christ with Superman abilities. After effortlessly defeating Agent Smith, and the last shot depicting him fly toward the sky, whatever challenges Neo would face in the sequels had to be next level.

And they sort of were, for most of the part.

During an in-Matrix meeting of resistance fighters, Neo gets spooked by an unknown presence and heads out to investigate. Ambushed by three "new" Agents, Neo engages in his first fight since imploding Smith and it's everything fans wanted it to be. This is not the Neo we knew before - this is a more confidant and opposing Neo who is both embracing and evolving into his role as the saviour of humanity.

Neo's quip about the upgraded Agents is a snickering remark to justify why Neo would still have his work cut out fighting Agents, but in reality it's just plain entertaining to see Keanu Reeves take on three Agents at once in such a stylised and flourishing manner.

If watching Trinity take a bullet to the chest was the WTF moment to start the Matrix sequels, it was this sequence that told audiences that there was still going to be some fun jaw-dropping moments to come.
