Matrix Reloaded (spoilers further down)

CookSux · 05-15-2003, 11:37 PM

I just watched this movie... and man... it was awesome. It wasn't as good as I anticipated, but it was a great movie nontheless. Don't really want to spoil it yet, since it did come out tonight. So anyone else share teh same opinion?

**GK Punk** · 05-16-2003, 12:30 AM

ugh too many movies to see I finally get to see X2 this weekend, and hope fully will get to see Matrix next weekend.. Im glad to hear it was good, part of me was scared it was going to suck. (That whole sequel thing you know?)

Friction X · 05-17-2003, 10:32 AM

I just went to see the Matrix last night. Very cool movie. A little overdone at parts, but still awesome. I'm not sure which I like best between it and X2, though.

*Brodie* · 05-17-2003, 04:21 PM

Sequels are supposed to answer questions. This To Be Concluded crap is exactly that: crap.

X2 was way better, but this battle of sequels will go down in history.

*That Matt Guy* · 05-17-2003, 04:26 PM

I heard it has great eye candy, but totally sucks story wise.

**Nturtle** · 05-17-2003, 08:59 PM

Wow!!!! I just saw the matrix reloaded......

If the first movie questioned the nature of reality, then the sequal raises the question of what would happen if Jesus was in 1999, with crazy kung-fu moves and a big metal pole?

anyways....

GREAT GOOGELY MOOGELY!!!!! It is impossible to really describe the awesomeness of the fight scenes. Litterly it makes your jaw drop. There are less guns and more kung-fu, which is sweeeeet!!!!!!!!

The fight with the 100 agents is maybe the best fight ever, no overstatement there. However the highway fighting wasn't as cool as I thought it would be, but it was awesome!!

The whole Zion sequence sucked though, it was the worst part of the whole movie, slow motion disco raves/ what? it was ridiculous....
Also the rest of the zion scenes weren't any better.

Also I have to say that at one point Neo is fighting with two sais....

The storyline wasn't great..... okay so a lot of it was just plain awful. There was also some real bad acting thrown in as well as a bunch of secondary characters and love stories which aren't really intresting at all.

However the philosophical questions in the movie are actually very intresting. I don't really want to give away anythig but the end has huge revelations....

Also if you stick around after the credits there is a preview of "Revolutions"

i just saw it and was floored

the problem with the story is i think you need to think about it somewhat alot of people needed it explined when in reality i think your suppose to leave with your opnions on it. they mad the plot so lose to make you think. if you go in there expectiing to be told a story with a cohesiveness to it pay attention and think alittle it rises some questions that come back in the film later. if you go in for action then the story will suck the action was great but i thought the story was as well cause i walked in and knew i'd have to think alittle. it's a complete mind **** which i love cause that means anyone's opnion on the movie can be right. the brothers wachoski did an amazing job with it and i can't wait for revolutions.

this is all my opnion though so take it as you will

Psycrow · 05-17-2003, 10:08 PM

I saw this movie on it's release, and it was better than The Two Towers in my opinion.

Pepzi · 05-17-2003, 11:45 PM

I waited in line for an hour and a half to see that movie, and i dont regret the wait, i didnt care too much for the first, but the newone is the best!!!! i really liked it!

Shadow · 05-23-2003, 10:42 PM

i love this movie.

first of all...its in the middle, so its hard to do because there is little begining and little end. its akward...but it will go great with the other two.

The action...I hardly blinked. it was great...loved the sais...everyone knows I'm a raph girl! nice choice neo!

the best part about these movies is the philosophy. I'm not turing this into a "Religion" topic. but the movie is def. a modern take on the christ story...expecially the first one.

I personally enjoyed the Zion experience. I'm not sure how I feel about "Jesus" and sex....but whatever. I thought Zion was very symbolic. good use of imagry...i liked it.

The ending rocked. I mean as much as you can have an ending for a middle movie. The scene where neo makes "the choice" is absolutly wonderful. Obviously his choice was correct, because of the bottom line of what he chooses....and he says it too. But also...just the "speak" of it all.... I'm very impressed by the borthers and their knowledge and use of biblical symbolism. I find it refreshing that I'm not the only one who takes pleasure in writing in that form.

enjoy for those of you who have not seen it!

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-23-2003, 10:55 PM

Does it also have any Alice in Wonderland references? That's what I loved about the first film.

*The Stryker* · 05-24-2003, 05:22 AM

the muvie was cool but i almost got mugged by some angry people cauze of the ending

to be concluded.....

audience:"awwwwwww hell naw!"

but luckily i decided to stay afta the credits

a rain battle in revolutions!!! wee!

**HorseTechie** · 05-24-2003, 11:04 AM

Whooo.. Got to see this one last night too. And well, I thought X2 was better in overall consistent storyline.

But the digital effects in Matrix Reloaded was awesome. Not as many ghosty effects of real characters going through the digital ones like in movies past.

I also agree that the beginning was confusing, but I caught up by the middle. Loved the talk between Neo and the Oracle. The agent fight was wild... almost very overbearing. Like.. when and how is this gonna end?! Then Neo starts making like Superman with karate skills. Ehh... I'm not much of a Superman fan, but I'll let it slide.

I thought the fight in the mansion was the best one, cause of the use of sai and other wicked weapons.

So.. how many people fully understood what the Matrix Creator said on the first viewing? (And I thought Donatello liked to be wordy) I got the gist of what the final choice for Neo was... but the rest, it seemed that he was going in circles.

The symbolism, the numer importance, and the linear comparison to this world and real word religion, mythos, and computers is cool too.

And then... then... the movie ends with a friggin cliff hanger! Man... and I thought LotR was bad about doing that. A new trend in movies perhaps? Hrmm...

Wait.. you said there was more after the credits? Damn.. I knew we shoulda stayed.

What was it like?

*Dane E5R* · 05-24-2003, 11:13 AM

The Matrix movies have yet to really impress me. Not saying that I hate them or that they suck or anything, I just have yet to walk away from a Matrix movie going "whoa." I actually liked the first one better, because the second one seemed to have waaaay too much unnecessary slow motion. It just got a little tedious to me.

**HorseTechie** · 05-24-2003, 11:16 AM

Yeah.... I felt that in some places the slo mo seemd to not have much purpose.

*The Stryker* · 05-24-2003, 12:06 PM

after the credits they showed some footage from revolutions or "matrix 3" as i callz it

*Duke* · 05-24-2003, 01:34 PM

Its been a while since i posted but to tell you the truth the movie was suprising disappointing. It didn't suck and i did enjoy it but no way did it live up to the all of the hype. It could have been alot better, the fighting scenes were phat but there should have been alot more of them. And what the crap was that dancing/love making scene? That scene might go down and history as one of the most pointless and boring scenes of all time. Nevertheless if you haven't seen it, go and watch it.

RomStom · 05-25-2003, 12:48 PM

Well after reading a load of reviews and them all saying it was a load of crap i went to see it a little reluctantly. I think i enjoyed it because i thought i was expecting it to be terrible, so i got a pleasent surprise. The fight scenes were not that great, just eye candy. The fight before he goes to see the oracle is best. I agree the zion parts were crap, and especially the Neo-Trinity parts.
