Shut up, moron...

You have no idea what you\'re talking about...

The first Matrix wasn\'t good...

;)
July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

When I say good, I mean , good popcorn flick. Nothing more.

As for this one - I just got back from it and I would say it was better than Reloaded (which was downright TERRIBLE ), but not by a lot. The acting was terrible, the CG was pathetic and it all sucked, up until the last fight scene - which just made me wanna go home and watch Superman II.

I thought Revolutions was good.  Strange ending though.  All 3 movies were good imo.

Regardless of what I thought of the movies, I have respect for the Wachowski bros.  They had all this planned out from the beginning.  Now they\'re probably drinking pina coladas in Aruba and using $100 bills for napkins.

Nor do I. I mean, \'The Matrix\' sucked as a trilogy where as \'The Godfather\' is legendary.

And to quote myself off the DVDTALK forums.

lright..
 
 Let me say this, I thought the first one was a good popcorn flick and should of been left at that. It could of been an excellent film, if just left alone. Then Reloaded came out , and a lot of people, including myself was extremely dissapointed. It was pretenious, boring and all around a diaster. It lost everything the first one had. After that, I had little interest in see\'ing the series progress, but I had to see how it ended. Here comes Revolution\'s... What can I say? It is not near as good as the original Matrix, but it\'s better than Reloaded - which isn\'t saying a lot. Most of the film (70% ) doesn\'t take place in the Matrix, which takes quite abit away from it. The CG is still weak (most notably the machines ripped from Aliens). The acting is still alittle-bit out there , but it somehow seems better than Reloaded. All in all,  I didn\'t enjoy it much, until the end. I loved the Neo Vs Smith fight near the end. It made me want the Washowsi (or however you spell it) direct a new Superman film. They have the flying, the fighting and everything down pat. With all that said, I still don\'t think this was a fitting way to end the trilogy. Then again, a series like this, that had a great start, medicore middle is bound to dissapoint in the end. There was no clear cut way to end this, and maybe that is why they shouldn\'t of bothered with the sequels , in my opinion.
 
 And with that said, am I the only one who felt after watching Revolutions, that it seemed like the second one was entirely unnessarcy for the most part? I sat through the second one, all through the pretenious dialouge, the zillion questions it posed and by the end of the third - most of them was either forgotten or truly just void. All the second one seemed to do was interduce \'Kid\', \'Serph\' (Orcale\'s Bodyguard), \'The Architech\' and \'Merv\' (French man). It seems as though Reloaded was nothing but filler, where as the real story started with original and picked back up in Revolutions.
 
 Also , I think it is safe to say they hinted towards a sequel at the end of this one. Will it happen? I don\'t know. I have to say I doubt it. The series has received a fair amount of backlash since Reloaded came out and now Revolutions, and the only true reason Revolutions is goin\' to bring in the money is so people know how it "ends"  and that is what WB is banking on. I doubt people will really care if Neo or the gang come back in a few years for another installment. I know I won\'t.

It hinted towards a sequel.


It really seemed as though it was nothing more than a conversation.  It wasn\'t intended to make you think "Oh my God, Neo is coming back, they\'re going to make another movie!!", rather, just to make you think.  Or to give the audience \'hope\' that a beloved character will return.  Killing off popular character is a good way to alienate the audience, thus drawing further emotion from them, but they want to believe that these characters are still alive..

At least that\'s how I interpretted it.  Just trying to give the fans what they want..

:laughing:

LIC, cant you watch a movie just to enjoy a movie?

Must it always be something spectacular? Like cartoons, you know when you were a kid you watched them, even though they never made you laugh. Why? Entertainment.

And you cant compare Godfather (I,II,III) to anything else. Those
are beyond movies.

Hmm, lets see the Triligoy of "the Matrix" was just finished right, by releasing the 3rd. Thats what? 48 hours its been out? You cant create a legend that early.

And you know the Matrix will be known to everyone 20 years down the road. Its one of those movies that is decent, and then it just becomes better after a while. I dont know how to explain, so I hope your understanding.

matrix 2 and 3 will NEVER be called legends

the matrix trilogy will NEVER be in the same class as the godfather, or indiana jones

It was decent at best, I didn\'t feel cheated as I left the theater so I can\'t complain.  Well I can complain I just don\'t want to get into it.

Hmm really?

Legends arent always good, legends are something that are always remembered- Like Cher, I mean she sucks, but no one will forget her. Thats the way it works out.

And I also think it is pretty good, and your all just expecting soo much out of a movie.

The class of movies. They will eventually be compared and contrasted, as they are now. Some people would prefer the Matrix to the Godfather. As some would prefer apples to oranges.

Apparently you have never heard of something called an opinion- and if You have, if their opinion doesnt agree with yours, they are automatically stupid.

thats yer opinion of her, there\'s 500 million 40+ year olds that adore her

when the 12-17 year old crowd cherish a movie like matrix 2 and 3, it doesnt last

if you think the matrix trilogy is better than the godfather trilogy, you are stupid, and ignorant, and this guy is gonna come to your house and break your fingers

What about the Terminator trilogy?

;)

Matrix trilogy will likely be more compared to other action/sci-fi movies.  Most likely the Alien trilogy (it\'s still just a trilogy to me.. :().

In which case it is owned, again.

How can you compare The Godfather to The Matrix. That\'s like saying the Bugs Bunny sucks because the sky is blue.

I don\'t really care if yall think the Matrix Trilogy sucks monkey balls, it\'s just stupid to watch people compare something that\'s so new to something that has been considered untouchable for so long. There is not ONE single trilogy that you can tell me of that has had the same response as the Matrix. When you say the Matrix only attracts teenagers, at the screening I saw 30-60 year old males, woman up in their 30\'s. The line at the movies right now for Revolutions you can count the number of teenagers. You can\'t continue to live in the past, just because something boasts it\'s special effects or something like that doesn\'t mean you go in there and judge it by the special effects.

The Matrix: Good movie. Excellent Story line and telling. Characters fit the mood of the story which is mysterious, unexpecting, and "Bibleish"

The Matrix Reloaded: Good movie. Doesn\'t seem to connect because it was inteded as a lead in for Revolutions, great action and set up though. Adds more questions to the trilogy

The Matrix Revolutions: Excellent movie. Great acting. I don\'t know what your definition of good acting is, but I saw Smith really believing and eating himself out by trying to conquer it all, I saw new confused and scared at the beginning, but saw the determination in his face towards the end. I saw trinity\'s love and passion for Neo, which people have said it doesn\'t seem as "connected" well thats because the second movie was pretty much the final "connecting" bond between the two, the third movie just lets it dwell more deeply within the characters to a point when that when [sp]trinity dies[\\sp] Neo is able to digest and understand the fact that it was her decision to come with him, that she was ready to give [sp]her life[\\sp] up for him. If thats not love I don\'t know what is. And all the other characters played their parts excellent. The Oracle replacement was amazing. The story wraps up nicely, i mean they even answer why the Oracle seems different. The ending like i said is not a hollywood cliche, It fits the story. There will be no sequel, well hopefully not, because i think the ending was meant to have a "blibleish" ending. Like Neo saved us all, but like in the bible, he will return once the world needs him again. But as in "real" life, Jesus hasn\'t returned. It\'s not the question of when, it\'s a question of if we will ever need him again. and remember machines have no feelings, therefore the peace will last as long as the humans keep it cool with the machines.
