Exactly my thoughts. Thought it was an excellent film after watching it last night, but now I wonder what was so 'excellent' about it. The only good thing about it was the fight scenes and even half of them were fake! You can tell so bad when it's not actually Keanu fighting and it's an animation thingy instead. But still... Neo's my hero! *sighs*

Hospital scenes in Hard Boiled. Heat has some quality gun play but I am going with Hard Boiled on this one.

agreed, perhaps best gunfight aswell

Ronin has the best car chase ever. The handbrake turn will live on forever.
The one in The Rock though is pretty impressive. Seeing a 355 burn through the streets chasing a fully armoured Hum V is genius stuff.
The one in Ronin though is yet to be beaten.

And the rock comes nowhere near close to the absolute brilliance of Ronins car chases. In my opinion
I hold my hand up, I have the bruce lee box set, aswell as Enter the Dragon.
I change my plea to 'Enter the Dragon has the best Fight Scenes'.
Although a lot of Jackie Chans efforts come close.
But for CGI flying off the walls, jumping 50ft in the air, smashing someones skull with concrete attached to a pole style fights, reloaded is unbeatable.

I don't like it.
Gun sequences get The Killer or Hard Boiled.
Slow motion (not bullet time) get Hard Boiled.
Fight sequences get the Bruce Lee comemerative box set which rocks.
For an awesome plot try Goodfellas, Casino, Heat or Raging Bull.
For a decent car chase get Ronin or The Rock.
For bullet time stick with the original Matrix.

I got the DVD for my Sister, but since she won't get it for a few months then it's all mine. No. Ii's not for her christmas pressie, she's at Uni, she asks me to buy DVD using reservation to get 4 free posters and £1 off price, she doesn't get the DVD herself until she finishes in her term December, she pays me back the money for DVD, while I can watch it as much as i want until she gets it back.
yeah, after about my 4th viewing (once at the cinema, twice on dodgy bootleg, and once today) I can begin to pick at it more.
For fight scenes I believe this film cannot be beaten. The money has clearly gone into the choregraphed combat, and sometimes it really can raise a grin it's that good.
The crap between neo and trinity at the beginning just wasn't needed, neither was the rave scene and quite a few other drawn out scenes like the merovingians speech.
I think it helps if you try to take this film in as though it is manga/japanese anime. The creators have clearly tried hard to make a live action manga film here, and in that aspect it is superb.
If they drew out the great plot a little, throughout the film, rather than compacting it into the last 15 minutes, via the architect, then it may break up those periods of frustrating dull bits.
Still glad I bought it though, the fight scenes/chase scenes are worth the asking price alone, and I believe the final film in the trilogy is supposed to blow the second out of the water. roll on november 7th.

God I'm so bloody opinionated but am terribly inarticulate heh.
