"Matrix Reloaded"

Yeah, sorry. I know this is the seven millionth thread on it. But I haven't read a single thread in here on it for chance of seeing spoilers n stuff and now I can't find one to pop.

Anyways

Well I went to see it last night and to be honest I thought it was a bit crap/tacky/totally milking the fight scenes and special effects/borring?

Did anyone else think this or am I some strange loner stupid-head for thinking such blasphemous things?

£17 million for that car chase scene? Phft. Pluurlease. The Rock had a *way* better car chase than that!

Yeah, the bit where he swings around the pole kicking the agents in the head looks a bit suspect, but other than that its noe blatantly obvious. Im pretty sure the bit where he flies through the air and spins around was actually filmed as well.

And it's not even CGI, apart from one frame where you can see Neo swing a pole at an agent (after spinning around with the pole) and it's obviously CGI. Apart from that (and I doubt many people noticed that), there's no probs. Hell, you can even see that some of the Agent Smith's have really fat heads!

Because HumVee is the type of vehicle, Hummer is the name of a make of it.

Eh? "Hummer" is a slang term, Its the same as calling "Coca-Cola" soda.

I want to knoq onw thing though, why do people complain how scenes like the 100 Smith's fight was too CGI looking. It's not as if anyone else has tried something like it.

It should have been an empty metal gauntlet with a comical fizzing bomb attached to it like in the Inspector Gadget cartoons.
