Personally, I reckon the style of the movie really stinks. The characters just don't do it for me. They're so obviously trying to sell this sense of cool, and it's not going down well with me.
In the latest Empire magazine there are some piccies. The one with loads of agents makes me shake my head. Man, do those guys ever look sucky. They don't look menacing, or bad at all, just like complete geeks.
Then you got these guys with white dreadlocks, and I'm looking at them and thinking "What? That looks stupid".
But then again, they all wear sunglasses so they *must* be cool.
So yeah, ignore me, what do I know anyway?
Actually, I was quite interested in the Harry Potter photos. And J-Lo as Mary Poppins characture. Empire rule.
Do you know what I think this film needs to make it cool? An Agent Brian Blessed. Now that would be cool.
Neo: "I'm going to show these peopl...."
BB: "ROAR! KILL!"
It'd rule. Brian Blessed. In shades, of course.
Jules is cool. Neo is not. It's quite simple.
Ha! I think not.
So yeah, it's what's cool in your head, now get this, it's not difficult for me to compehend, but the likes of you may struggle with it:
I didn't find it 'cool'. I thought they looked stupid. It didn't work for me, and I didn't like it.
That okay with you? I mean, my not liking it, and forming an opinion of my own?

Well apparently, the Final Fantasy DVD set was ground breaking. It set a new standard for DVDs so it said. Hmmmm.....I bet it did. It didn't quite suck, but I'm close to saying it did.
As for everyone else, while watching it with my mates, we spent a lot of the film talking about how cool they were. All these years later and we all own leather jackets and sunglasses, but that's another matter. Anyhoo, Meka, I don't think anyone shares your view
> 'ground-breaking 17 disc set'.
I'm reminded of when the flaming lips released an album on four cds that had to be played simulataneously. Now that was ground-breaking. I mean who cares if few people have four seperate hi-fi's and even if they do, being able to start four cds at exactly the same time is tricky.
I want to see similar weirdness on the matrix DVD release. Or an audience response matrix film where the sudience votes for what happens next and thus creates their own matrix experience. Man I'm copyrighting that idea. A film like that would rock.
I thought the look and the image of the first one sucked too.
Maybe because I saw a bunch of fools buying imitation jackets and glasses, and they were still fools.
But no, it was an alright action movie, with a story ripped from many other sci-fi movies that had some nice effects, but God-awful looks. I mean the agents look like bank clerks for Christs sake. Not threatening at all!
Still, I'm not saying you can't enjoy it, I just shalln't be getting in the queue to see the next installment.
