but i'm refering to the scene where morpheus is explaining everything to neo and he says something like: "when they made the matrix they left one human inside who could de whatever he wants. However he died many years ago, and we have been looking for his decentant ever since. He is beleived to be the One to lead us to victory."
why would the creators leave an enemy(human) inside with that much power?
I don't think Neo's abilities are hereditary, and the agents can't predict the future. Once Neo became a danger to the Matrix, the agents started going after him and trying to control/eliminate him.

Her film class is getting a special screening so she'll see it before nearly everybody in the world... but of course I doubt this is the only special screening in the world... but still cool none-the-less
The first showing where I live is at 10pm on Wednesday.

I'm going the day before it comes out! My friend works at the movie theater, so she gets to see everything the day before it comes out... so she's letting me come with! (That's how I saw X-Men 2) Sweet! Free movie too!

My (unreliable) friend may get me in early too.
It looks so intense, I bet that the opening will be greater than The Two Towers.

In exactly 1 hour, I will start playing Enter the Matrix. I probably won't come out until I beat it.

I comes out when its on my harddrive.
That movie was pretty good too, although a little overrated. Sets up a nice market for the 3rd one.

Q: How badass is Neo?
A: Pretty badass. He can stop dozens of bullets merely by raising his hand. Whoa! Plus, the dude is stronger, faster, and (get this) he can fly! When he does, he's described as "doing his Superman thing."

heres the whole thing
Q: First, were you frisked for recording devices? I heard security at theaters is going to be tighter than Carrie-Anne Moss' PVC pants.
A: Surprisingly, despite a detailed memo warning journalists to expect a thorough pat-down and search, a shakedown never materialized. Our book bag was examined almost as an afterthought. But that doesn't mean you should try sneaking a camcorder in.
Q: How badass is Neo?
A: Pretty badass. He can stop dozens of bullets merely by raising his hand. Whoa! Plus, the dude is stronger, faster, and (get this) he can fly! When he does, he's described as "doing his Superman thing."
Q: What's this I hear about all these Agent Smiths?
A: It's true. During the movie's most incredible fight scene, Neo at first fends off one Agent Smith, then two, then 12, then dozens more, until he's eventually battling roughly 100 of 'em (Weaving, 12 look-alike stuntmen, and the magic of special effects created the illusion). At one point, there's a gigantic doggie pile, with Neo on the bottom, and you can't help but think, "How about doing your Superman thing now?"
Q: What new characters stand out?
A: The freaky, white-dreadlocked evil twins are pretty cool, and Monica Bellucci's Persephone is drop-dead gorgeous, but it's her husband — the powerful, pompous, and French-speaking Merovingian (Lambert Wilson) — who gets off some of the movie's best lines. Example: After Neo performs awesome aerials and quickly dispatches some of his henchmen, Merovingian deadpans, "OK, you have some skills."
Q: Without giving too much away, how cool is that chase sequence I keep hearing about?
A: On this aspect at least, believe the hype. It's dizzying, death-defying, and damn exciting. Plus, it's 14 minutes long. It features tons of gunfire, fights inside cars and on the tops of speeding semis, and a bullet-bike ride that's out-of-this-world wild. You'll be blown away, gripping your seat's armrests, with your eyes glued to the screen.
Q: Is the "To Be Concluded" ending as brutal as rumored?
A: No. The movie ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, sure, but it's not during the middle of an action scene or anything cruel like that.
Q: Last question: I heard you should stick around after the end credits because the trailer for The Matrix Revolutions is shown.
A: Two warnings: The credits must be the longest in the history of cinema. Hundreds and hundreds of names and titles go by … for a good 10-15 minutes. So you can easily sneak away to the restroom and return in time. But the Revolutions clip is a true teaser, lasting about 30 seconds and offering little but a hint of a final battle between Agent Smith and Neo.
