I saw all three today! they all give me goosebumps! I was
not disappointed by the third one, I think it was great...
everybody compare reloaded and revolutions with the first
one and say that they suck, but I think they're all great!

not the first time you just post "I don't carre" or
something similar...

i've heard good things from people who've seen it on other
boards.

quote:
---------------------------------------------
Anyone who enjoyed the 2nd one will enjoy this one even
more; anyone who hated the 2nd one might not like this one
too much either. All I'll say about it is if you know
anything about the source of this material, ie the
philosophical/spiritual ideals the Warchowskis are drawing
from, then you will realize the immense beauty in what
they've done with this trilogy. Its hard to imagine a better
way to have done it...

As far as Zion being a "different level of the Matrix," the
film touches on that, in a scene with Smith facing off with
Neo - I refuse to go into details yet, suffice to say that
this film is loaded, and I know for a fact that one viewing
isn't enough to catch it all.

Beyond the depth of the source material and the overlaying
meaning of the films, this film is packed with amazing
battle scenes, suspense and twists. It capitalizes
beautifully on the setup of the 2nd film without blurting
out all the answers - the Warchowskis have beautifully
"shown it" rather then "said it" in a lot of situations
where it may have been easier to simply say it.

Yes there are some unresolved issues at the end of the film,
but it didn't leave me with any less the feeling of
completion. They ended the story they started and conveyed
something very powerful along the way, and that's what the
trilogy was meant to do =)

i don't think he was saying that your opinion was wrong. he
was just saying that if all you have to contribute to this
thread is that you don't care, it's better just not to post
in here.

it's just that i thought he wanted to discuss The Matrix
Trilogy, positive and negative comments alike. i'm not that
interrested in it and i said so, come on it's not a
biggie... i was not starrting a fight simply sharring.

rrrrreally? I think you only say that... orr?

some of the scenes in revolutions are so amazing... it's
just fantastic that it's possible to produce those pictures.
mindblowing.

the first one is a great action movie. the other two are a
great marketing ploy. it isn't a planned trilogy though,
atleast not in the sense that star wars is, and it shows in
the second two movies.
i think the first was a great action film that had some
pseudo philosophical ideas that are present in alot of
better sci fi films, and people liked those ideas alot. this
went to the wachowskis heads, and they infused the second
two with way too much mumbo jumbo and not enough of what the
first one has: entertainment and emotional involvement.
it could have been a great trilogy, but instead, i find its
just a great first movie followed by a second with good (not
great) effects and a cardboard story. the verdict is still
out on the third since i haven't seen it yet, but most
reviews i've read have been negative. then again, harry
knowles, who i tend to agree with on movies, just put up a
really positive review on it, and he had basically the same
reservations i had for this one. so who knows, maybe it'll
turn out awesome. these are just my opinions on what i've
seen thus far.

i guess i should say the second is a marketing ploy, and the
third would appear to be one as well.

still WAYYY above average... I find them all most
entertaining, and that's what counts.

Points: 9601 Status: Lurker



i actually read a very SCATHING review of The Matrix:
Revolutions in the Fort-Worth Star Telegram this morning -
not that i really pay too much attention to what critics
think, but one of the major points they made was that Neo is
missing from the film for an entire 30 minutes, and that you
shouldn't leave a core character out of a film for such an
extended period of time.

however, i haven't seen the film yet - hell, i haven't even
seen Reloaded yet. so i will see them before i judge
anyone's opinion on them.

i did LOVE the Animatrix though.

revolutions.

i've written enough on this board about what i think about
reloaded to fill a small book. we'll see how revolutions
plays out.

Anyone who read the spoiler thread - is the ending how it
said it would be?

The first film was okay. I think it's very overrated. The
second film was awful. I don't want to waste my money on
this one.

out of all the sci fi films lately, this still blows
everything ive ever seen away.

i think people just like to hate the popular.

i never see people going into this much detail about things
wrong and bashing in any other movie, proolly bceause they
arent as popular

sad sad people.

bashing; i hope it makes you feel better :)

well, i enjoyed it. for a hollywood blockbuster franchise
designed to rake in millions of dollars, it was damn good.
i can think of hundreds of worse movies that are far more
deserving of the criticism recieved by the matrix trilogy.

if you think you'll like it, you will probably like it. if
you think you'll hate it, then why the hell would you go see
it?
