Dark0ne Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I thought it was perfectly fine - I preferred the first, but there aren't many films where I can say that (except Terminator - T2 was so much better than The Terminator). Now, after seeing Equilibrium I can safely say, Equilibrium beats M:R hands down. It offers the right blend of George "1984" Orwell style philosophy with amazing fighting scenes - none of which rip off the Matrix in any way, none of which contain bullet time and all of which are original and extremely clever. If you haven't seen Equilibrium, I recommend it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 My god, Theta, anything but Maddox... If there's anybody that wants to take an intelligent look on the movie, Corporate angel has a pretty good review. If anybody wants to know what Colenel Sanders was actually saying in the end of the movie, take a look at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I don't normally read movie reviews - I'm not really that interested what some reviewer thinks about a movie, but prefer to make up my own mind. Like, Easy Rider is always praised for being such a great movie....yeuch. It was embarrassingly bad. However, I do read Maddox's site because I find it very funny. And I think the bit about the wooden plank with the mean face is spot on :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddGuy Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 i liked 'em both; the philosophical crap in the 2nd was a wee bit confusing, but i agree with wesaynothin on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrine Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Please tell me you're joking...1) The fight scenes were BORING! Yes, as impossible it would seem, they actually managed to make boring fights. They're extremely repetitive, and go on far far too long than necessary. Especially when there is no result from it! I mean, endlessly fighting clones, just to fly away? Seriously, it seems more like an effects test than a real scene.2) I did not go see it a million times. I saw it exactly once, and decided that it was an average movie at best. My decision has nothing to do with the fact that it is a sequel, if it had been a completely new movie I'd be saying the exact same thing. And it definitely doesn't have anything to do with "fitting in."3) Just admit it, the movie was a massively over-hyped piece of garbage. Just because it has "matrix" in the title does not make it good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peregrine Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Look, could you at least justify what you're saying? NO, NO, NO is NOT a valid method of discussing something. So either support your disagreement or leave the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
