![]() ![]() I'm interested in how the whole prophecy thing is going to play out in the next movie since in this movie they find out.ah well, I'm not going to spoil it.ġ) The guy at the end was definitely Bane, of the hand slicing fame. Some of the new characters were really great.I loved those pale dudes with the dreadlocks, very nice effects with them. That rave/sex scene at Zion could have a whole lot shorter and I thought that the ending was too abrupt. People had the same comments to make about "Empire Strikes Back" and "Two Towers" Special effects I thought were really great. I wasn't expecting "great", after all this is just a movie and a second in the trilogy and by definition there will always be a level of disappointment in the middle movie. So I keep away from that stuff until after I see the movie. ![]() Hollywood doesn't think that you've promoted something until you've seen half the movie in the trailers, in "the making of" shows, and in magazine articles. My key to prevent from being disappointed is that I put a strict "radio silence" on big movies I want to see. I saw it last night and I really enjoyed it. I'm glad I saw it, but I don't think a new generation of fanboys will pore over this DVD for details as closely as they did the first film. Not as good as the first, of course, but we can't be wowed again like we were 4 years ago. Though most of the new characters are forgettable, the keymaker was great fun, and Link was useful in reflecting the audience onscreen. Even the gratuitous fights, like the one before Neo meets the Oracle, were fun to watch. The freeze-frames during the Burly Brawl did look computer-generated, yes, but so what? Still fun as hell. The fight with the malovingian's goons was three times longer than it needed to be, and unsatisfying. During the Burly Brawl, video game music would've been an improvement over the accompaniment. And the worst thing about the movie was the music. They're talking about what they're going to do, they're doing it, oops! They're dead. ![]() Morpheus' big speech was underwhelming, and the cuts between expository dialogue and actions taking place during the "heist" scenes at the end seemed too abrupt. Along with a terribly unsexy sex scene layered on top of it. The hippie-dippie raver scene was only missing a hacky sack in order to perfect its lameness. I'm a bit concerned about what bit I missed at the end of the credits by not sticking around.īut the movie? It was entertaining, but not great. Lots of spoilers: Upside down guy was Cypher. What did you think? Post your reviews (or a link to your review) in the comments. We get it, but it's not compelling enough to build a whole movie around. I don't mind weighty movies, but the subject matter just didn't warrant all the seriousness. The movie was too weighty and took itself too seriously. The Matrix Reloaded would have worked a lot better as an action movie that took itself a little bit seriously (taking a page from the fun X2 flick) instead of a drama interspersed with action. The other disappointing thing was the tone of the movie. The technology they used was 1.0 (or maybe even still in beta) and it showed.give it a few years and then we'll have something. The fish in the Finding Nemo preview looked more fish-like than the humans in the Matrix Reloaded looked human-like. 100 Agent Smiths fight) looked, well, completely computer-generated. The completely computer-generated effects (e.g. In the end, I think the Wachowski brothers failed in what they were trying to do with the movie, which is disappointing. After reading this breathless article about the Matrix Reloaded in Wired last month, I was very much looking forward to the movie and in particular, the special effects.
