Tagline: It’s allllll down hill from here.
This review contains examples of:
- Alliterative Name: Tamara's newscaster persona has one.
- Call-Back
- Zuul, motherfuckers!
- Black Willy Wonka reappears.
- Agent Schmuck's reappearance is heralded by the burning doves from the Critic's Face/Off review.
- To the previous review, when he still refers to Neo as Tom.
- Color Wash: Scenes with the Critic, Malcolmus and Tamity have a noticeable green tint, just like the entire movie.
- Fantastic Arousal: At the very first explosion scene (only a few minutes into the film), Michael Bay appears to say:Critic!Bay: Aaaahhh Wachowskis, you made me cum!
- Insistent Terminology: Like the last time, the Critic still calls Neo by his old name "Tom".

- Old Shame: In-Universe, the Critic acknowledged that he used to think better of this film than the previous film. In hindsight, he admits that at least the first one had a more focused plot.
- Shout-Out: The Critic calls Morpheus' Rousing Speech to the masses in Zion to be just like every movie speech ever.
- Strangled by the Red String: Parodied In-Universe by Tamity suddenly declaring her love for the Critic, much like how Neo and Trinity suddenly gained a romantic chemistry.Critic: Where the hell did that come from?!
Malcolmous: Come on, that is the fifth messiah that you have confessed to.
Critic: I'm the fifth?
Machines!
