But I enjoyed the heck out of the Matrix: Reloaded.  I though it was a great movie and I didn't think the party sequence went on too long since it had purpose.  Also, how could you not like the Agen Smiths fight scene?!  You people are nutty and old, and banana Johnson is your leader, and since he's leading you'd better hope he didn't have burritos last night!


SOB

BTW...Are the Johnsons fighting the good fight tonight?  I've got some hate I need to distribute to the cyberworld of 1942!  :D

I saw it today.  It was stupid but amusingly so.  We kind of did an MST 3000 thing which made it bearable.  As soon as I realized that Zion was full of barefoot hippie ravers I started openly rooting for the machines.  Based on the "ending" I think my chances are still pretty good.

If the original "The Matrix" was Aces High, then "The Matrix:Reloaded" can be thought of as "Janes WW2 Fighters".


That's an insult to HTC.

Decent movie... really wish they'd cut out everthing that was "zion" though.  Man... who thought that one up?

Unfortunatly yes :D

The exploding bike sequence was dumb.

The 2nd ressurection in 2 movies made me want to shot myself for paying to see it :(

The car chase was just hollywood at its worst.
Lotsa of unbelievable and ridiculous action and cars packed with C4. A suicide bomber's dream. :rolleyes:


It was pretty much what I thought Matrix 2 would be. :D

THANK YOU!!!

Finally somebody else that sees through it.  I thought it was a good movie, but to hear people talk about it, you would think that it was Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Boondock Saints, Hard Boiled, The Godfather, Bambi, and Debby Does Dallas all rolled into one.

What really sucks about both movies, and the third it unfortunately seems, is that Keanu Reeves is in it and has a speaking part.

I'm still waiting to see a movie were Keanu can claim acting credits.

I wasnt disapointed because I pretty much expected what I got:

-Way too many hand to hand fighting scenes that lasted way too long - ex: Neo and the Chinese Dude that was "guarding" the Oracle - "You dont truely know someone until you fight them."  Huh?  

-Not quite enough gunplay.  Guns are cool and should be everywhere in this movie.  They arent.  More guns.

-Those albino twins... WTF?  Ok... cool effects... but they didnt do anything?  How do you fire like 1,000 rounds from a UMP 45 (seriously... one hole for every square inch of the car) and not hit anyone in it?

-The new agents... WTF?  Who are these guys?  Tom Selleck (sp?) could have done better with his mustache and 308GTB.  No personality.

-Comedy... why do directors of science fiction films insist on throwing "funny" lines into movies that rely on the audience believing that the fantasy world portrayed is real and serious?

-Zion... ok, right.  So in this place, everyone needs new cloths and attends all night raves/orgies and sweats so much the floor gets wet?  Great - this sounds awesome, book me a ticket on the hovercraft leaving soonest.  

-The other "cool Matrix types"  WTF are these people?  Why are they always wearing sunglasses inside?  Why are their lines "tough" yet "stupid?"  "Sometimes things change, and sometimes things dont."  Huh?  Ok fine... sometimes movies suck, and sometimes they dont.  This isnt one of those times.  Take your ****ing sunglassess off before I kick your ass.

-AIM Heros United:  Why do I get the impression that this movie was made specificly for those individuals who sit online and "chat" with eachother in the  Wi7ch3z&Wa4L0ck5 room on AOL?  Im picturing a buffer filled with "in charectar" babble about wizard hats and robes and magical spells that bring out the power inside all of us.  WTF are these people and why do they insist on existing in an alternate "reality?"  Wait... I know why I think this... because deep down inside every ubergeek on the 'net thinks they're Neo and sooner or later Morpheous is coming to tell them "Youre the One."  

Hes not coming, go outside.  Play football or something.  Your Level 16 Gaylord cant save you from unemployment.  There are no Machines, there is no grand foolery where your energy is being harvested to fuel the mechanical empire (drink your Powerade) and youre not cool if you walk around in a black trenchcoat.  You dont know how to fire a gun... CounterStrike doesnt count... and no matter how hard you try, you wont be able to slow down time and kick some black tie's ass.  There arent even any black ties.

Other than that, I was entertained.
