Matrix haters
 
since I'm so tired of people talking about how much the Matrix movies suck I'm styarting a thread where people can say whatever they want to about the matrix movies and not do it in pro-matrix threads.... enjoy your matrix bashing you fools

Brodie 04-26-2004 03:34 PM

I'm a fool? No, I'm not a fool, I just don't like the Matrix. Tough **** if you don't like it. It's my choice. And I F*cking hate it, so deal with it. It's not that big a deal.

host_punktmy 04-26-2004 03:35 PM

Oh i forgot to mention that I'm not going to even bother posting in here or looking at peoples posts so don't bother bitching at me.

Barkworm 04-26-2004 03:38 PM

This is ridiculous... :|

Kid Icarus 04-26-2004 03:38 PM

I don't hate the Matrix... just like how I don't hate Metallica... I hate most of it's fans who think it is the most breath-taking story ever, when it's really just a rehash of old ideas in to one.

Alice in Wonderland ring a bell folks?

Dr. Doom 04-26-2004 03:38 PM

Amen to that.

host_punktmy 04-26-2004 03:41 PM

i guess i'm in here again but... aren't all stories just a fusing of things from past experience? Sure the matrix uses off of other stuff but then so does everything else

Brodie 04-26-2004 03:41 PM

Ditto. And its kinda idiotic to make a thread, telling people to bitch, then after someone says something they're like "Oh, I'm not even looking at this."






You know he looked at what I said....

The first movie was great though.
AND METALLICA IS ****ING AWESOME!!! :evil:

Misfit 04-26-2004 03:46 PM

I've never seen any of the Matrix movies. I have NO interest in seeing them, ever. Sometimes I feel so alone...

EZweasel 04-26-2004 03:48 PM

Well i lve the matrix trilogy...my favorite trilogy of all time. even beter than the original star wars.

MTN889 04-26-2004 03:49 PM

:roll: Right... because he's not gonna look at this topic as a guest...

Brodie 04-26-2004 03:51 PM

...Better than the original Star Wars trilogy?

Riiiiiight....

Anyways, this might be my film studies class, but the Matrix is a big religious movie, so is the Star Wars trilogy, and the LOTR trilogy.

Odd how the best movies in America are the ones with an underlying religious story.

Dr. Doom 04-26-2004 03:55 PM

LOTR is clearly the superior trilogy to all.

Brodie 04-26-2004 03:56 PM

Damn skippy....Now if they'd made LOTR with Han Solo...****...I might piss myself

MW8979 04-26-2004 03:59 PM

I think the Matrix is meant to really analyze and in some way criticize society. It basically states that people tend to think they have choices when they don't, that people tend to think they're all different individuals when they aren't and that people lead superficial lives which seem to hold some meaning but in reality their existence is empty and pointless - they're just one of the many. Apart from being an apocalyptic futuristic action film, I think that's basically what the trilogy tries to get across.

Dr. Doom 04-26-2004 04:02 PM

Very astute. Great post.

EZweasel 04-26-2004 04:08 PM

i didnt even care for any of the LOTR movie..cept the first one..it was pretty cool in my book

Brodie 04-26-2004 04:08 PM

Yeah, but the same could be said about the film Clueless..


joking....

Raven 04-26-2004 05:08 PM

i love those movies...oh wait i have to bash it like every one

DAMN THOSE MOVIES! I HOPE THEY BURN IN HELL!

Voltron 04-26-2004 05:18 PM

"Gimme Money!" is what the movies tried to get across.

Brodie 04-26-2004 05:20 PM

Yeah, I see that.

Dane E5R 04-26-2004 05:41 PM

I like the Matrix trilogy. It's good, just not great.

Voltron 04-26-2004 08:45 PM

The first movie I felt was very well done. The story was excellent, the action/story ratio wasn't out of proportion, and most of all it was nice to see something that just didn't flat out suck. My problem with the series arose when I went to see the second movie. That was as Maddox, the best person ever to live, put it: "A train wreck." It seemed so forced, there wasn't anything new there to blow my mind.

IN SHORT I HAVE COMPRISED A SCRIPT OF THE SECOND AND THIRD MOVIES:

Morpheus-"Zion's gonna get attacked!"
Neo-"I think we should go into the Matrix and fight!"
Trinity-"I'm dead!"
Oracle-"You know what you need needn't need need want want need not not need need need want shouldn't have to only if you must want to do not do complete. Make your choice."
Me-"I should have gotten a large poison instead of a coke...sh*t"

Raven 04-26-2004 09:07 PM

the only thing i didnt like about the second movie was that architect, god he was confusing. but other than that i really loved the movie.

ZariusTwo 04-26-2004 09:28 PM

Lord of the Rings as a whole is the biggest piece of overated s*it I've ever seen, the final film totally ruined it.

The Matrix Trilogy OWNS, but for those who choose to hate it, to quote Morpheus

"Beleive whatever you want to beleive"

Oh...and Mettalica's last album sucked Donkey b*lls

Anarky 04-26-2004 10:19 PM

The first part was really awesome. I mean, great story, good acting, outstanding SFX, and a twist in the plot.

Then there was PArt Two. It wasn't exactly a bad movie, but it was nowhere near as good as #1.

and then... there was that cruelty that is supposed to be part #3. No good story, the SFX are overused, lousy end, and the acting gets worse. and the dialogues are ridiculous

So. The higher the number behind the word matrix, the worse the movie

MW8979 04-26-2004 10:36 PM

The ending in Matrix3 was pretty dumb. And Lord of the Rings is very overrated.

He wasn't an architect, he was a computer programer that designed the largest life-sim. Ever.

Fear us, for all your base are belong to us.

And so you all know, I have watched all but the last movie, so I'm not some idiot who hasn't seen them going around saying stuff like "omg t3hy R t3h 50xx0rz!!!!1!1!".

I've seen them, and I really don't get what people are gushing over. The backbone of the story isn't anything new... the concept of a world inside a world (hell, Men in Black even used that one). I will give it points for presenting it in a new way, but in this day and age that's really the only way that type of story could move on.

You don't even appreciate their old work?

That Matt Guy 04-27-2004 05:04 AM

Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I saw Matrix "1" and had no f***ing idea as to what was going on.

Meira-Bates 04-27-2004 05:44 AM

I didn't have a clue either the first time I watched it. I understood it the second time though because I wasn't in a classroom full of noisey idiots so I could actualy hear everything being said. Annnyhoooooooo I don't like the matrix...mind you I don't bashingly hate it...but I do feel it's over rated just like some of you people think LoTR is. However, no matter WHAT you do and how grand it is...some people are going to say that it's over rated...so personaly I never get why people get into fights about this sort of crap. o.O My old IRL friends tried to force feed me the matrix, thinking they could make me like it >.< no thanks...I'd rather watch Alice in Wonderland over and over....specaily since I find Alice to be a pretty cool game x.X but then again I seem to be attracted to the wierd.

damnhooligan 04-27-2004 06:38 AM

I found the first movie to be a refreshing change of pace from the standard Hollywood blockbuster. But, well... by the time the second and third movies came about, the festering public had practically placed the movie on a pedistal and worshiped it like f***ing gilded cow.

Its pretty much a clear case of liking the movie (or in the second/third movies cases, tolerating) but hating the rabid fan base. I liked Lord of the Rings, but I could sure as hell do without the elf-worshiping cosplayers or obsessive Orlando Bloom fans. Same goes with hardcore Star Wars freaks and their Trekkie counterparts. Hell, I'd probably get pissed off at Deadites (Evil Dead fans!) were I not one myself.

I remember that. Thats when Charlton Heston came down and fired tablet shaped bullets at everyone. Keanu Reeves stopped them all, of course.

Brodie 04-27-2004 01:14 PM

Deadites unite.

Voltron 04-27-2004 01:28 PM

No wonder he's been warned twice.


BTW, I love Metallica, Barkworm. I'm a fan of ALL of their stuff. \m/

Was Morpheus also bad at spelling? Hehe I'm just messing with you

I don't think this needs a thread. I like the first two matrix films I've seen. The first one was really good.
I like LOTR but I found the last one a bit disappointing
And not that it matters but I don't really like Metallica
