The Matrix: Revolutions OMG OMG OMG
|
First one was great, second one pretty weak. I fear for the worst but will go to see it of course.
|
<--Doubter. I've never really been impressed by any of the Matrix films.

I don't doubt it'll be graphically captivating, aka "pretty", but that's about it.

oh man I really like the matrix, i cant wait for the 3rd
|
I never really got into the Matrix movie thing. I went to see the movies to see the effects and martial arts, that's about it. Some of the scenes with the agents were funny. And I appreciate all the hard work they put into the movie but it just doesn't interest me that much. But yay for everyone who likes it. Different strokes?

The Matrix was an outstanding film. It was a perfect blend of the elements that make a good sci-fi/action movie. However, the sequel left many people scratching their heads (or whatever other body part) as they wondered what was missing. The answer is: almost half of its plot! About 40% of the plot was taken out of the theatrical release to accompany the video game, disrupting what balance of story vs. action there would have been otherwise. Fortunately, DVD will get the complete story instead of just including these scenes as outtakes. But, these previews are pretty crappy. That was from the end of the video game. It's been around since before the second movie came out.

First movie's plot wasn't anything that haven't bee seen before, but it was ok and the Action was great. Second movie didn't offer anything new and had a weak plot so it wasn't good. Im afraid same will happen To the third one.
|
I liked the first movie a lot when it came out, the second one wasn't great though, the action scenes were cool but didn' really make up for the rest... this third one doesn't look great I have to say, oh well.
|
That trailer has been available online for a loooooong time.
|
Not much of a Maxtix fan myself...my taste is more toward "DragonHeart"! :D

Actually alot of the storyline was put into the Animatrix. If you haven't seen that, then your missing ALOT.
The story for movie 2 is just a gap filler between 1 and 3. What do you expect from a gap filler? I got more out of the movie, becuase I looked at it as a gap filler, not as a movie that's supposed to blow the first one out of the water. The third is supposed to do that. I'm going to go ahead and say that those who didn't like the matrix, or even the second one, aren't really all that into computers. Most peopl I know, well Everyone I know who's really into computers loves both movies. The martial arts is just a kicker. |
that's a kinda crazy assumption (sp?) to make
|
Yes I have seen Animatrix, I tought most of it was boring too. I won't judge The third one before I've seen it, of course. And Matrix movies have really nothing to do with real hacking/computer programming.
|
well i heard from some where that the matrix movies are going by the cycle of life
Part 1-Birth Part 2-Life Part 3-Death and Life sucks so theres the explanation for reloaded |
:lol:
|
Good theory! :lol:
|
Well, I hate computers and the Matrix didn't thrill me, so that theory posted above would seem to have some merit.
I'unno, I saw the first one and just don't have any desire to see the rest. It seemed way too heavy on special effects and short on substance for me, but then my tastes are pretty different from most anyway. |
Part of the problem with people not liking either or both movies out thus far, is that there is computer lingo thrown around and used to spark your imagination and what "Could Be".
If you can't get into this, your truly missing alot of the insinuation. Then there are those people who just went to watch the movie for a martial arts action film. Theres boring stuff in there if you don't like analytical literature. There's also the love story between neo and trinity. For some of us, we don't want to see that mooshi stuff, we just want women kicking agents ass's in tight vinyl! There are so many references in all the movies. it's fun to watch the movies over and over and find them all, kind of like the humor in Naked Gun series. You could literally watch the movies and each time spot something new. |
Maybe some people just don't like it.
|
Or maybe it just isn't that good.
|
i really did like the first movie, but the second one only had good fights scenes, i was totally lost when neo met the "creotor" i couldnt understand anything. but I had a lot of fun with my friends after the movie, we went around town fighting each other in "matrix" style (well not really, but we said it was).

Savanti....first of all...stop acting like a pirates of the carribean fan and accept that the matrix movies aren't the best thing ever made
And plus some people tastes are different then others you seem to think that people who don't like matrix movies are mindless apes who only go to the movies to see blood splatter everywhere...there are alot of those people sure but not liking the matrix movies doesn't mean they have bad taste in movies Nuff Said' |
No, I never said that. I haven't seen the new pirate movie yet. But yes, there is a reason for everything. Whether or not we realize it.
Oh and I never said, nor wished to imply that they were the best movies ever made. I liked em, and was hoping more did as well. Oh well. |
First movie was a huge success, but since reload was pretty bad, I doubt Revolution will be a success either.

Nice things I can say about the Matrix movies:
1.) Cool fight scenes, guns and costumes. 2.) Interesting special effects in the first one. (For its time, anyway.) However, these things alone never make for truly good movies. Not-So-Nice things: 1.) Fairly predictable storylines. 2.) Predominantly flat, one-dimensional characters. 2.) The movies seem to pretend to be a bit deeper and more cerebral than they really are, IMHO. The pseudo-philosophy gets old quickly . . . not because it's "too deep for me"—quite the contrary—it simply gets boring in no time flat. These things will definitely contribute to the making of bad movies. Bottom line for me: Nice eye-candy, but that's really about it. Not necessarily enough to cause me to outright hate the movies, but still not enough to hold my attention or place them on my "Must-See" list. So, I can basically take or leave the Matrix movies. I'll probably see the final installment when it's released on DVD. Oddly enough, I thoroughly enjoyed The Animatrix . . . . |
That's basically how I feel, except I have no plans on seeing the second or third films anytime soon. There's just nothing there that appeals to me, and frankly it bothers me that a lot of people consider The Matrix to be the best movie ever just because of some video game-style special effects that ended up in a Bon Jovi video six months later. It takes more than that to impress me. ((shrug))

Damn straight.

Just like Shania Twain.
