Matrix: Before anyone else slams it.
Thursday, November 6, 2003 by --Gabriel | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
The Matrix owns you, your momma, and your momma's momma.
If you can sit through the first half-hour of it, which was frustrating me to no end because it seemed to be taking it in a horrible direction, the movie was incredible.

I'm still trying to soak it all up and take it in after watching it. Good but I'm in disbelief/amazment from some of the stuff.

It was better than the second. Some scenes went on too long. The movie could have ended 30 minutes sooner.

I'm waiting for a week then seeing it. I hate crowds. I have 1 and 2 on DVD. The plan my bro and I had was to watch both before we go to watch the 3rd. So it will go in order. And Most people probably looked at the movie in one way. The matrix has many view points and story lines to catch onto. If you don't then your going to hate it. And I'm with Gabriel, "Screw them"
Ok, I'm done rambling. I have to go and see it soon.

I will have to wait until later to discuss why I have this opinion (because it would be a spoiler for most people) but I really didn't care for the last one. It was missing so many ties to the first two, and it was *so* predictable. Brad (Frogboy) pretty much had most of it summed up before the movie ever started. I watched most of the scenes thinking "OK, now the next thing that will happen is..." In my opinion, the second one was the best of the three. I also thought that the very end was cheesy...
We have had many debates in the office about this, and I have looked at it from *many* angles. Though there are some good angles to it, I still think that it really lacked the intensity and power of the first two.

I plan to see Revolutions this weekend, but so far the reviews haven't been good to it. Though I don't think reviewers really get it anyway. The only thing I had against Reloaded was that some scenes were longer than they needed to be. I will be interested though to see if the last one fits with something I read on matrix-explained.com. Will add more once I've seen it though.

I really liked the first two...can't wait to see the third! Don't care what the critics say! 
Can't imagine the kind of work it must take to produce such awesome effects!!

Yea, that's why I don't go during the first couple weeks PixelCargo. Too many people to deal with.
Like KG said about predicting what was going to happen in the third one. My brother and I made a bunch so we'll see how close we stand.
I wonder if they will make another movie about some other part of it. Like the beginning. Instead of dealing with the Animatrix for that.

They should have taken the best parts of Reloaded and the best parts of Revolutions and only made a second movie. They're ok though, Revolutions is better than Reloaded...the ending was expected after seeing The Architect in Reloaded.

Loved it. It definitely didn't have the ending I was expecting, but I'm happy with the one we got. The only thing I could have done without was "the kid". Yeah, we get it, he was in Animatrix. Cool. Enough already.

I'll probably have to wait til it comes out in the rental stores...I'm not too fond of crowds and noise if I'm trying to enjoy a film...I get all mad at the sneezing and coughing and shuffling and munching lol...besides....the anticipation seems to make it better lol..*sigh
