No offence, but you just made my day. To each of his own I guess.

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that Reloaded was like a sh** version of ESB?
LMAO! It's not just you.....

I can understand how its hard to see this, but I feel its there. But look:

Watch the Star Wars trilogy interview with Malton and Lucas. Lucas says "I tried to put the characters into the worse possible position of their lives, and then in the third movie they get out."

Now look, Neo is stuck in some far off place, talking to the Tailor who is very wise and telling Neo all about why he is "The One". Meanwhile, Zion is facing near destruction, his friends are in mortal danger, and everything is on the line. If he fails, its all over.

So he succeeds..barely. The team returns to the "real world", only to be betrayed by one of their comrades, Neo gets knocked unconcious and they lose their ship.

Now look at Empire Strikes Back.


Luke is stuck in some far away place hearing about the Force (Neo hearing about the Matrix). He has to get to Cloud City before Vader goes "Dark Lord" on everybody's ass.

He makes it...barely. (Just like where else?) But he's too late to save Han who is frozen in Carbonite ( Carbonite is to Han as Coma is to Neo). And why was Han frozen in carbonite? That's right, he was betrayed by his old friend, Lando. Plus, what the hell happened to Luke's X-wing on Bespin? He left it there, he LOST THE SHIP.

Now look, I'm not saying it was intentional that these two movies have so much **** in common. I'm just saying that I really liked ESB, and Reloaded just tried too hard to be a good movie.

Biggest problem of reloaded was that it offered nothing new. The slow motions do get old, and when it lacks a decen't plot there just isn't much to like about. I have heard that revolutions happens mostly in the "real" world, so if it has a decent plot, it may have a chance.

I saw the trailer for Revolutions when I beat the God-awful excuse for a game; Enter the Matrix. Oh, and by the way. Has anyone seen the newest ROTK trailer? It's downloadable from theonering.net....excellent stuff. I almost cried when I saw it. soooooo sweet. Countdown clock says 73 more days! whooo!

I'll go to see how they conclude it, but besides some decent action, I'm not expecting a revolutionary movie.

Most of the action of Reloaded was that same boring slow motion, but if revolutions happens mostly in the "real world" the action might be better too.
