"Well, *I* thought Reloaded was good."

Just got back from seeing it with a bunch of college mates. One of my other mates saw it and said it was crap, but didn't want to say why so it wouldn't be spoilt for us.

Now I want to know what was wrong with it in his eyes.

The Matrix started well, slowed down then had an amazing last twenty or so minutes (everything from Neo walking into the government building)

Reloaded started slow then picked up pace. The rave/love scene was pointless. The first 10/20 minutes or so just made it look like Neo and Trinity were desperate to have sex, not that they were in love.

But the Neo/100 Smiths scene was amazing. The fight with the humans was good, and the car chase was what made me decide "Yeah, this film rules."

Neo doing a Superman and flying really fast to save his bird was really good, but it was painfully obvious she was going to die and he'd bring her back.

I think I was the only one who wasn't bothered by Neo frying the machines at the end. I accepted it because either he has powers outside the Matrix, or they are, in fact, in another sort of Matrix or something similar.

Looking forward to the sequel and the DVD of this one. Balls to anyone who said it's pants, it's blatantly not. It's an entertaining film, nothing more, nothing less. And that's all that matters.

I thought it was lame.

Old School was better.

(gets his spoon and begins to stir some more)

Agreed, dancing was lame.

I loved it

Apart from the dancing

Of course, the last time you saw a bloke leaping onto a car bonnet at great speeds on a motorway it just dimped right?

*chuckles*

Don't any of you watch a movie and think "Wow, that's cool"?
Why play computer games? Because hey, if it's realism you want...

So...much...wrong with...statement...

I thought the car chase was a bit poor, unrealistic destruction just for the sake of spending more $$$ has always grated with me. As if someone jumping on the bonnet of a car would cause it to cartwheel, doors flying akimbo. I'll wager that's why they had to slow that bit down, because it looked rubbish at full speed.

I'm off to download the Revolutions trailer, as I completely missed it in the cinema :o

Yeah, I knew about the trailer being on after the credits, but I have it on my PC anyway (haven't watched it yet, was waiting until after I'd seen Reloaded)

I told my mates but they forgot to stay behind. I didn't mention it as I wasn't bothered.

It was quite amusing, me and my brother were the only 2 people left when the trailer came on, when we were leaving the attendant looked at us like we had two heads.

Yeah. Nice to hear that SOMEONE ELSE knew about the trailer :D

I thought it totally owned.
