Just thought that I would add my two cents worth on the Agent Smith v Neo theories.

It was quoted in a earlier post that when Agent Smith attacks Neo in the big brawl he attacks with Malice, I believe that this is partially due to the fact that Agent Smith hates Neo for what Agent Smith has become. At the end of the first movie where Neo defeats Agent Smith and as a result has changed him for the second movie (Agent Smith indicates in his talks with Neo that he has changed, something happened to him to make him different, he is no longer an Agent in the essence that he was, he is now a separate entity existing within the Matrix). And I believe this is where the a larger part of the issue is!

In the first movie where Agent Smith asks to speak to Morpheus alone, he tells Morpheus that he must have the access codes to Zion’s mainframes for he "cannot stand it here!, it is the stink of it" (something like that anyway). Smith indicates his hate and discuss of the Matrix and wants out of it and is prepared to do anything to get out. However this changed when Neo did what ever he did. Now Smith is trapped within the Matrix, the one place he did not want to be. That is enough reason for Smith to want revenge against Neo.

Having said that, i still see the possibility that his circumstances in things may have changed with his new "re-incarnation".

Also something that a few colleagues at work have discussed concerning Neo stoping the Sentinels within the tunnels: We are given the impression that Neo has stopped the Sentinels somehow, However, it is only moments after the sentinels are defeated that the second ship appears to rescue Neo, Trin and Morph, is it possible that this ship used its EMP to disable the Sentinels? The something different that Neo feels could have been interference/turbulence caused by the EMP shock wave.

I have sort of discredited this thought for I would not think that the other ship would have to have been powered down to fire the EMP, but it is possible that it could quickly power up again and go? Also they potentially would have said something in their discussions on board.

Just some thoughts.
