I watched Matrix Revisited today (it's a documentary on Matrix)---I CAN'T WAIT TILL THE NEXT MATRIX ARRIVES...just try to imagine what it'll be like. Groundbreaking. Fuck Lord Of The Ring, Matrix 2 is going to be this years film-event for me! What about the rest of you?

I agree with Reflex, for a while I've had a feeling that it's gonna be bad.
The original even had cringeworthy moments.

The first was just based off of things all of have thought about at one time in life or another, then we realized the futility of that which we just thought, and so gave up that thought...

Well ok... the Matrix was a great film, I still enjoy it a lot on DVD. But it is a movie they should have left as 1... not 2 or 3 Matrix's... thats kinda stupid. I mean the 2nd one will be just stuff from the first 1.

i think matrix is a lousy film. i think the effects sucks... my friends laughed at it when we saw it on video... i think the hole movie would be much better if someone replaced keeno reeves cause he sucks

I'm been anticipating the sequel for awile, but it's taking way too long, and I doubt it'll be able to live upto the hype, but It'll definetly be one of the few movies I go to in the theatres.

the matrix is a shitty no brain rip-off of william gibson, the invisables, ghost in the shell etc, with shitty effects, hammy acting, a script that makes my arse weep and the weak christian allegory bit thrown in to give it credability. it is a lump of shit, and even worse it has matt goss (of bros) in it. it will be shit

that is cos the stuff i love (like william gibson) doesn't get the credit it deserves, plus it is essentially a no-brain actionfilm with pretentious bits stuck on: 1984 did the reality/society as a sham bit 1000 times better and if i want action i will get an old jackie chan film from back in the day: it is a pretty poor film, and in 10 years it will be forgotten

i saw the first one two times in the theater.
my only problem with the first is its replay factor. it has too much drawn out dialogue that makes the movie too long.
i love how it makes anime action turn to reality though!

futility? the matrix was alright for dialogue and acting, the effects were fun, but onw thing it has for sure is profoud metaphors for reality. the movie's highest purpose (whether the creators were conscious of it or not) was to get these profound truths out into the popular culture. see, a lot of people need to be eased into these things through the media because they wouldn't be exposed to such ideas in their day to day life.

Matrix 1 wasn't anything special, considering they ripped off the entire concept from a comic called the Invisibles and didn't do it half as well.
#2 will probably be average at best...

I feel like Matrix made the actionmovie genre turn to shit. Okay, it wasn't the first movie to feature lot's of wires and stuff, but it made it really big, and now every actionmovie has these slowmotion-increadibly overdone action sequences.
Coolest action scene ever is in Heat, after they rob the bank. A lot of machineguns, and absolutely no slowmotion. The sound is half of it.

I liked the "overdoneness" of it, it was practically all it had going for it, kinda reminded me of akira in that sense

You talk about profound truths, but don't actually mention any specifically. The Matrix wasn't profound. It was kind of enjoyable for the first viewing but to completely cliched and unoriginal to watch again.

I will go and see the Matrix 2, but as much as I liked the original, I do suspect that both the sequels will not be as good! I think it may be the classic 'cashing in on a good thing!'
The Matrix Revisted DVD was really good though - an interesting insight into how the film was made, a must for any fan!

Yep, I agree with you on the Heat heist scene as the best one. The score by Moby certainly adds to it. I want to get heat on DVD, anyone know what extras it includes?

How dare you say fuck lord of the rings!

i dunno about the sequel.... ill keep an open mind.
