My own worthless thread!
Can't wait to go see the new Matrix movie! The wife's coming home early so we can catch an afternoon show and beat the "talking during the movie crowds".

Anyone see it today?

I was listening to Mancow this early am and lots of people called in to the radio show and said it sucked!

I gotta say, some of the CG stuff looked pretty cheesy when I saw previews on TV. Hopefully it will look better on the big screen.

If somebody calls me "Mr. Anderson" in an Agent Smith voice one more time I'm going to tie the hairs on the back of their neck to the short ones on their ass and kick them down the street! :-)

cmb
was the reason it sucked possibly due to the fact that it is a middle movie, and therefore has no payoff at the end? ::spoiler alert:: ive heard the movie ends mid-scene, leaving you screaming for more.

I didn't even like the first one...I don't think I'll see this one.

saw it last night..yea the fight scenes and car chase scenes are neat..but they last about 15 minutes too long..it gets to the point where they run up..see each other...face off, and your like..oh crap not another fight with the same moves again. Some of the computer programs talk way too gd much...about nothing, plot building is one thing...blah blah blahing is another thing. oh and my lil spoiler info is.....too many special powers by neo..."hey mommy...is he GOD?" 3 outta 5...good movie..but ya know what they say about sequels.

there is only so many times getting kicked in the head and it not hurting in slowmo a person can watch. And didn't they remove most of the plugs from neo in the first movie?

Saw it last night. I thought it was good. I do think they had to push the effects so far that some eneded up being too cartoonish like when the one agent jumps from the cop car and smashes the hood of the car he jumped to. And I agrewe that the whole conversation with the Arcitect was way too technical and quasi-intelectual. I think they will lose their core audiance there and leave people walking out going, "What the hell?".

I'll have to see it again before desiding if it was as good as the first one.

its playing on SIX screens at my local theater. oh my.

the first movie really raised the bar for action AND f/x sequences, and just made george lucas look silly with his "everything in my movie is a special effect" approach to phantom menace. but from what ive heard about reloaded, the wachowski brothers suffered an attack of the lazies and are just relying on the same formula from last time without really pushing the envelope like last time. that said, im still gonna go see it today.
