CTW Members Lil_Zippy Posted May 27, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted May 27, 2003 Its absolutely amazing! And anyone who doesn't like usually doesn't understand it. I cant see the point in watching any other film now, they don't make you use your brain enough. I'm not into films at all, but this is so deep, top stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted May 27, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted May 27, 2003 The first Matrix was quality - simple plot but the film was very subtle and worked on a lot of different levels. Reloaded, IMHO, is very dodgy. The plot is much more complicated, but it is not clever, just needlessly contrived. I think it was very badly edited too - there were a few scenes that were far too long and dull. But overall, it lacked the depth of the original. The makers obviously thought the film is much cleverer than it really is. Yes, I did understand Reloaded Zippy, but just cos it is complicated does not make it any good! And I hated the ending... they blatantly just want to milk the public for all the dosh they can! Don't think I can be bothered watching the third one... What is it with dodgy sequels recently - I thought X-Men 2 was crap too. I hope they do a good job of Terminator 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis all a matter of opinion mind. I like complicated films, its more like a pizzle you have to figure out. I get bored watching normal films, my brain goes numb. Oh, the end was class! That film is so much like k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complicated does not equal clever. I thought the original movie was cleverer; beyond the "virtual reality" concept it worked on many levels - challenging our perceptions of reality, the power of self-belief, fatalism, etc. Plus the fighting scenes were exciting without being gratuitous. The sequel just became more contrived without adding anything more to this equation. It's gone the way of Star Trek - they've run out of good ideas so they have to resort to convoluted sci fi drivel (not to mention the dodgy fantasy cliches - the "keymaster" anyone, ugh!) And there was a lot of rambling about fate but it didn't go anywhere. The plot was pure geek material IMHO. Still I liked some bits of Reloaded - Agent Smith's cloning abilities, and those ghost people with the dreadlocks, were definitely the highlights!

CTW DJs Guyster Posted May 28, 2003 CTW DJs Share Posted May 28, 2003 liquideyes said: the "keymaster" anyone Ghostbusters... anyone?? I thought it was pretty good overall. With 3 films its very difficult to do the 'middle' one, making it flow through to the 3rd well, and keep the elements of the original whilst making it different enough to make new fans too. I think, if you'd not seen the first, the story is a bit impenetrable. The first half hour is a little strange, as we have to get used to a lot of new characters when (I for one) we were quite happy with the small group from the first film. I thought Zion was a bit naff, the 'mystical' ramblings were a bit cheesy, and the 'party' they threw made me piss myself laughing. Proof Americans STILL can't do 'dance' in films. However, it was neccessary to set the scene, and after that it really picked up. The fight scenes were slick, and mnidblowing. The idea of Agent Smith cloning was very cool... and all in all - despite the 'cliffhanger' at the end I loved it. It had a lot of the elements of the first, and introduced some very good ideas, even if the plot was a little cluttered. I always thought that, after the first film, it would be very difficult to carry the story on, and I don't think it's too bad. I can't wait for it on DVD Oh yeah, and did anyone stay til after the end titles? Quote WiLDCHiLD - where spacehoppers and pom poms rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
