Anthony Zebre and Fun Bobby from Friends are in this movie?

Um...I guess so. I sure don't know the actor's names or ever watch Freinds. The guy from Invisible Man is only in it for a minute, but the older actor has a good role. Jeeez! I can NOT wait to share some ideas I have about this movie with you guys! Definitely a movie that will make you think.

Morpheous uses a more kendo/ jujitsu style most of the time. With his katana.

No, Kung-Fu has dans, or grades. The belt system comes from the Japanese martial arts and was adopted by Korean m.a during the Japanese occupation (the Imperial military used colored belts as a form of identifying rank)... some Chinese schools imitate it, but most view the system as unnecessary.
Anyhow, the image of the black belt has been greatly exaggerated in the West... it means that one is a beginner, ready to seriously study the martial art. All belts below black are merely preparatory. Beyond black are the dans.

I saw a documentary on Dateline, I think, where they were filming the motion capture of that courtyard fight. Reeves and a whole bunch of other people were dressed in body suits running around and fighting. So, it was Reeves at least in some of the filming.

About CGIing characters - when I downloaded the final trailer - when I watched it the second time - the first time my jaw just dropped - I noticed CLEAR cgi in the "Neo doing the 360 kicking with the pole on all the Agent Smiths"
And when that person jumps onto a car and it smashes. Even picked that up at the cinema.

Note that the CGI in trailers often uses rough versions instead of parts the final movie. I've seen several different runs of Morpheus slashing throught the Twins. The first trailers don't show the Twins turning into ghosts, but newer trailers show the same scene and there they do change.

Just bought my tickets online for 5:45 tomorrow... I wanted to see it tonight at 10:00 (one of the 1,500 early showing screens is right up the road) but my girlfriend will be just getting off work and a little tired. I've been convinced by the advertising that this will be a life-changing, reality-altering event, so the delay is a bit annoying.

I don't know about "life changing" but it does set a new standard for an action movie: as Lawerence Fishburne said in an interview with Charlie Rose last night: "The technology is finally there to allow you both experience and THINK in an action movie"

Glad SOMEBODY else managed to see it! By Friday everyone will be yappin'! Yes, the highway scene kicked ass! Neo's entrance there was something that'll be poorly reproduced in many superhero movies in the next few years for sure!

I'm probably not going to have time to see this for a couple of weeks... I'm going to be in hell as I see this topic stay at the top of the list all that time.
