Actually no I don't hate the Matrix at all. I actually love the Matrix. I just thought 2 was a huge let down from the greatness that is the original. I haven't seen 3 yet though.

If you like Dragonball Z, then you'll love the 3rd (The Neo and Smith fight at the end). The third movie is basically the battle at Zion against the machines, at least that's about 60% of the movie. I liked it....I guess. I did buy it the day it came out.

i liked the matrix movies mainly because of all the hidden meanings. some people dont like that though so i understand why someone people would hate these films.

You know, I love "hidden meanings" but the plot and the dialogues were reidiculous (in my opinion, of course).
I'll never forget the "dialogue" between Neo and the Oracle in Reloaded which was something like:
Oracle: Sit down!
Neo: I'd rather stand.
*waits three seconds then sits down*
Neo: I prefer sitting.
Oracle: I knew.

But you hate Leon Kennedy, you would.

Going to see the Punisher, TODAY!

WrestlingTurtlesFan4Life · 04-16-2004, 08:38 AM

Did everyone forget that the most important person in the world is in the Punisher? You all know who I'm talking about!............

KEVIN NASH!!!!!!!!

Kevin freakin' Nash is gonna be in this movie!

I know NOTHING about Marvel comics but I've seen their movies anyway.

Spiderman, Daredevil, The Hulk, I don't know anything about their comics but the movies were really good. No complaints about them at all. Though my stupid Father complained about how they had 4 screens in The Hulk. SO WHAT!?

I'm not a huge fan of Ben Affleck either. He's not the reason I saw Daredevil. Though he was good in all the Kevin Smith movies. He was good as DareDevil though.

My Jim Ross impression: By god, Kevin Nash is in The Punisher! As god as my witness, someones gonna be broken in half!!

KEVIN NASH IS IN THE PUNISHER!!!!!!!

Whoop-de-freaking doo, Triple H is in Blade III...and has more screen time...and he's a better actor.

*Taloniss* · 04-16-2004, 01:49 PM

Spoilers

I just got home from seeing it, and I must say, this movie kicked ass. The action scenes were straight out the bomb (some, literally) and the story was a very good interputation of Garth Ennis' work. The fight scene with the Russion was particuallary well done. They beat the crap out of each other and still came back for more. Some great moments in there as well that seemed right out Ennis, such as Dave dancing while Russian is choking Castle, or Russian baseball batting the grenade back at Frank, and Frank getting up and falling right back down after it's over.

The neighbors were represented well by their actors. Thomas Jane pulled off of the role of Frank beautifully, the man IS Frank in the way Pearlman was Hellboy. He had the mannerisms and the look down. Travolta put on a decent performance, although not his best work, but it was good enough for Government work, as they say.

There were a few humourous moments, but they were either a)dark humour, much like Ennis' work or b) by the neighbors. So, no worries if you were concerned they turned Frank into a clown. He's very serious.

I really loved the last scene. When he has to make that decision, and he realizes that he still has something to give, a purpose, that's when he officially became the Punisher to me and not Frank Castle.

I felt the movie dragged a little in the beginning while trying to set up the story, but once the stage is set the movie really kicks into high gear

The movie is not perfect. But, it's entertaining and it's true to the character, and that's all I ever asked for from comic movies.

host_punktmy · 04-16-2004, 03:56 PM

do us all a favor and don't say any spoilers

*Taloniss* · 04-16-2004, 04:10 PM

Me? Mine are clearly marked, and I didn't even really spoil anything.

*Brodie* · 04-16-2004, 07:01 PM

Spoilers!!! ...Possible....
I saw it at 1:15 today, this movie is one of my favorite movies, and possibly my favorite Marvel movie. This and X2 are damn close.

Thomas Jane's facial expressions are genius. Especially in the Russian fight.

My favorite scene has to be when Frank gets the paper cutter blade and slams it into the guys head.

This movie was just genius. Dave has to be one of my favorite characters.
"He's a very scary man..."

And the scene with Mickey chained up in Frank's apartment was funny, one of the best scenes in comic movie history, because it makes you wonder if Frank is at that point where he just loses it, or if he has any humanity left at all. And Mickey had it best: "You are not a very nice man."

That was one of my favourite scenes too.

I liked when Frank stood up for them, it showed he still cared about something other then his revenge. Another point where it showed there was humanity still in him.

*Brodie* · 04-16-2004, 07:49 PM

And dinner....

Dave: I'm thankful my moms out of jail...thats cool...
Blumpo: I'm thankful for (something....)
Frank: ....Thanks for dinner....

*Taloniss* · 04-16-2004, 07:54 PM

Bumpo said he was thankful for leftovers and neighbors...and maybe one other thing, but I can't remember what.

*Raven* · 04-17-2004, 09:44 AM
