Every Matrix Fight Ranked Worst To Best 

11. Neo Vs Agent Johnson, Thompson, And Jackson (The Matrix Reloaded)

The hype was astronomical for The Matrix Reloaded. Not only did fans want to see more kick-ass martial arts, they were DYING to see Neo fight, now that he had awakened his full potential.

Near the beginning of the sequel, we see Neo being confronted by Agent Johnson, Thompson, and Jackson. Much like the conclusion of the previous entry, Neo smoothly deflects one of the Agents' attacks one-handed. Even though he acknowledges these Agents are a superior model than the ones in the previous film, he has no problem countering their attacks or using their own momentum against them.

In a mere 38 seconds, Neo manages to defeat the nefarious trio. It's cool to see three Agents defeated so quickly (especially since they were considered invincible before Morpheus discovered Neo) but it would've been nice if they proved more of a challenge. The fight itself is well-shot and edited but it's way too short.

Since it has little to do with the actual story, it feels like it was inserted near the beginning to briefly satiate fans since we wouldn't see Neo fight again for almost an hour.
