Enter The Matrix - What A Game!

hey mm, can u pm me a list of these film, cos you have got me intrested, and i wanna go find them and watch them too

this list is for everyone.  the following films are REQUIRED viewing for anyone who considers themself a "movie fan"

"seven samurai 1954" - Akira Kurosawa.  If you  can\'t find it, break down and get a film called "the magnificent seven" with Yul Brynner.  It\'s an american remake as a western (all the great westerns are remakes of japanese films), but still a great film.  my favorite film of all time....


"yojimbo 1961" - Akira Kurosawa (remade as a "fistfull of dollars" with clint eastwood, and then again as "last man standing" with bruce willis)


"sanjuro 1962" - Akira Kurosawa (remade as "for a few dollars more" with clint eastwood)


"metropolis 1927" - Fritz Lang


"rear window 1954" - Alfred Hitchcock


"blade runner director\'s cut 1982" - Ridley Scott


"the seventh seal 1957" - Ingmar Bergman


watch these (if you can, half of them are 50 years or older and subtitled), and then get back to me and tell me the matrix is such a great film...

Hell yeah. Seven Samurai was a good movie. Didnt see the western remake. I have blade runner on DVD, seen yojimbo and heard about metropolis. Everything else i havent even heard of.

Not a big Terentino fan?

For some reason I like Aurdey Hepburn a lot.

sorry, echo...yer out on this one

the matrix is HEAVILY over rated, and only loved by the MTV crowd
the real film lovers would turn elsewhere for sci fi

A few things:
The Matrix is a good film. It is not only loved by the MTV crowd.
STOP ACTING AS IF YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!! You don\'t!

I\'m going to stop arguing now, no matter if you continue or not. I\'m tired of this and I won\'t bother trying to convince you. The following words will be my last on the subject:

During this argument of ours I have not seen you back your case in any way, except with your own word on it. I however have pointed out that the majority of people like the film,it got a good score at IMDB (which is, as I have figured out in the years I\'ve been visiting it, a very accurate site) and that respected film critics (which I\'m assuming some of them are film buffs / \'cultured in cinema\') have given the film good scores.


Now let\'s stop this. The people on this board deserve better than to have to suffer our constant arguing.

mm must think all critics are right. Sense they are cultured in movie cinema. Why else do they get paid. If not, you\'re totally contradicting yourself...

Anyway,

I\'ve been playing the pc version of "Enter the Matrix" for about 1 to 2 hours.
I got to say, It\'s indeed a poorly made piece of crap. It\'s so repetitive the novelty disappears after the first 5 minutes. Then it’s mindless repetitive fighting. It\'s got SHIT load of bugs, including texture problems and blocky ness.
The controls are lame and so is the bland graphics. The sound has cut out on me once so far.  When going into "focus mode" the game really goes strange, seems to lag. Maybe they should have learnt how to do it right and got help from 3drealms and used the Max Payne bullet time effect.

Only good thing is the fighting techniques and special moves. Nothing like taking on 6 guards and kicking arse. Sometimes the fighting can look really great. Other times it can look totally lame.
I finish everything i start. But i doubt i\'ll ever play it again. Unless some good mods come out, if any.

i don\'t think all critics are right

i do know, however, more about culture cinema than both of you put together.

Now i remember when (about 2 years ago or so) we had X box fanboys saying that this game was going to be a X box exclusive years ago, and how it was going to destroy anything on the PS2.

"bows to the oh holy one. Please my lord.. Teach me all that you have to offer"   :rolleyes:


Your "my dick is bigger then your dick" analogy is getting old and boring,  talk to me when you have something descent to say.

Please, try not to contradict yourself again.

glad to see you didnt contest

everyone has forte\'s, and mine is cinema (and computers). i\'m sure your knowledge on your ancestral abbo\'s in your country is outstanding and i wouldn\'t think of arguing that

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

Fortes are one thing... Facts is another, facts based on opinions cannot be ones forte. It\'s arrogant to believe so... Ones opinions are only that, opinions. They are no more right or wrong then anyone else’s. If anything was to judge what good cinema is. It would be the amount of money and screenings the movie gets... The many outweigh the few... I don’t think you know any better then I mm. Naming movies and directors shows intelligence in movie making. Not if a movie is good or not. That’s totally an opinion. That can never be changed by ones believes.

Like I said, if a critic who has done Schooling on movie history and all of the other crap. Was to say a movie sucked, when you say it is the best movie ever. Does that make you wrong? I guess so, since they are more educated in cinema. If they were to follow your rules that is

Take the matrix 2 for example. It may not be good cinema to one person. But to 10x it is. So which is the more right?   One critic says it’s the best movie, another says it’s the worst. Again, who is right?   You can’t answer it because it’s an opinion based answer. Nether of them are right or wrong. It’s opinion.  Only fact can be based on what is... Ticket sales and screenings are what movies get based on. If it’s a flop it doesn’t sell. If its not, it does...    What will truly show how well people like Matrix 2 or any other movie will be the DVD/Vhs sales imo.

sorry, i stopped reading right there. you\'re a fool
spiderman was the fastest selling movie ever, need i say more?

go back to your MTV

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

Shame, cause i explain a little more after that.. That dvd sales truly show how popular a movie is. Wether u like spiderman or not doesn\'t matter. If it did well it must have been for a reason, Hype doesn’t last forever. Not everyone will see a movie that all their friends say is shit. Personally I didn\'t see spiderman till it came out on dvd. All my friends said it was shit

But to you and me spiderman is lame. To other people it’s the best movie ever.  Why are we more right?   Is it because more people say spiderman is shit?  If so, guess that means your wrong about matrix 2. Sence more people say its good.

we are more right to say spiderman is FAR from the greatest movie ever, because we (*cough* I) know better

DVD sales are spurred by advertising and cost. if DVD\'s cost 80$, would they sell so well?

honestly bro, watch 1/2 those movies i posted and get back to me

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

If spiderman sold for 5 bucks..  Would u buy it?  It cuts both ways.
If dvd had a 80 buck standard people would buy them..

People buy 50 doller games.. Including you right. When you buy  them. Do u buy crap or good games?

[sarcasm mode]
pffft yeh Spiderman was a pure work of art :rolleyes:
[/sarcasm mode]

i mean i just lost count of the time i saw a mistake or even the God Damn Boom Mic .. and that was when i saw it for the first time at the theater.

Soulgrind = Lover of the Over Rated Movie !
