"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!

"I'm only borrowing your Hum Vee!"

I still think it's a cyberpunk retelling of Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

Just wait for the Humanity Vs Machines Battle of the Bands at the end of the next one where many a classic 80's Rock track shall be belted out.

As much as I didn’t really like Matrix Reloaded I wouldn’t necessarily call it “crap”, just a big hyped-up disappointment of Episode I style proportions.
The action sequences were amazing yes, but the rest of the film was just a load of pretentious pseudo-philosophical bullcrap.
The structure didn’t really flow as well as it should and seemed a bit ‘bitty’, with pretentious twaddle, fight-scene, more pretentious twaddle, another fight scene, a car chase, a bit more pretentious twaddle, end of movie.
I didn’t much care for the kung fu either. It was fast and furious yes, but you still can’t beat classic Jackie Chan kung fu sequences, at least he doesn’t/didn’t use CGI and wires.

And Keanu Reeves proves that he’s still a crap actor.


The only good bit about The Matrix is Agent Smith.

sorry, despite the fact that the rock is in my opinion a good film, the car chase scene is the biggest piece of stilton I've ever seen. (10 tonne tram - flying through the air - nuff said)

I realise that reloaded's car chase was hardly realistic (hey its sci fi), but you are off your head if you think that it was worse than the rock's. I think its more likely you said that for a reaction, in which case, I truly am a sucker ....

Nottingham is getting trammed up at the mo. Just you wait they'll be exploding left right and center. Then you'll be eating your words bucko.
