Matrix Facepalms

As I ve seen it on TV yesterday (Matrix Revolutions)

Am I the only one facepalming since the first one ?

Cons:

- acting

- dialogues

- music

- esthetics of posing and bravery and shit considered to be 'cool'

Pros:

- stagesetting and stage design ?

- special effects ?

- ?

What is it watmm, whats the cult factor in this movie ?

I wonder what would have happened if say David Fincher or Lynch or Terry Gilliam

whould have gotten their hands ob this.

The first film was good, it was right for its time. The rest felt obsolete and cheesy.

I have nothing to add to this. The two sequels are horrible, stilted, self important films.

the first movie is good just pretend the other two werent made

morpheus is a fucking twat

I felt the need to watch the two sequels recently too, they are just no good. All those terrible waffling speeches about choice and control make me want to die.

what about these two fucking cunts:

they can fuck right off.

racist

rude

I always expected matrix to be something like '12 monkeys' - my fault.

I missed the weirdness and rawness, that even Terminator 2 still had, while aiming at a wide audience.

The Matrix: a near perfect popculture blend of cool scifi ideas

Disagree with this.

The sequels may have been bloated and disappointing (what those films could've been if done properly...), but Don Davis' score was a triumph right throughout the trilogy.

agreed, his work was amazing. I think mr. vanhiggins may be protesting Juno Reactor's unfortunate failitude throughout.

Hell yea, I have all the soundtracks and they are always nice to listen to.

My opinion is the same as everybody elses on the planet considering The Matrix. Only the first one is worth a damn. And I actually think the other two explaining everything do take away too much from the magic of the first one, almost ruining it. Usually I can enjoy a movie and not be affected by shit sequels (alien). But this one, fuck. The Matrix by itself I liked because it didn't explain everything. It didn't show everything. So you were left with your imagination to come up with what they left open ended.

the machines are taking over as predicted

The Matrix :sup:

The Matrix Reloaded

THe Matrix Revolutions

I always thought the freeway chase from the second film was the only redeeming part... there was a great 'making of' showing how they filmed that. Really interesting.

the art direction and concept design of reloaded was pretty slick. the last one was just a rehash and it sucked.

IM OUT OF IDEAS LETS HAVE THEM FIGHT ON THE CEILING!!

those twats

The second one wasn't THAT bad, guys.

Yes it was.

When I was watching part 2 I thought "well, this isn't THAT bad i guess"

But then Morpheus yelled to a crowd: "THIS IS ZION AND WE ARE NOT AFRAID"

...

that's when i knew

lol yeah

the writing and that dumb as fuck dance scene.

woooh lord

Yeah, the dance scene was a bit shit.

The best part about the sequels is it looked like 40-something Larry Fishburne had eaten the Larry Fishburne from Apocalypse Now between the Matrix and Reloaded.

also lol at morpheus' sunglasses, and Mr. Smith is a pussy ass villain
