cabbageboy Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 Ok, so the Matrix Revolutions comes out today. So far this thing is getting absolutely TRASHED by critics. I took a look on rottentomatoes.com and it's getting like 38%, which is horribly bad for such a highly anticipated film. Anyway, everyone post your thoughts here after seeing the movie. What did you like about it? Not like? And so on.
the pinjockey Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 I plan on seeing it in a couple hours. I have good hopes, because I am going in with lower expectations. I enjoyed Reloaded, but months of bashing it have kind of just got me down about the movie in general. All I want from this one is to simply explain the point (the more convoluted the explanation the worse the movie) and to be a good action movie, not asking too much there.
Art Sandusky Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 I'm surprised there were no midnight showings anywhere. I expected to see a three page thread on this already with people who saw it at midnight posting. I'm seeing it this afternoon. I'm pretty jacked about it.
Guest Nanks Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 I just got home from the 1am release showing here in Melbourne. Whilst my opinion is violently tainted by the fact that I was so bored one hour into the film that I fell asleep and didn't wake up until just before the end, I can see why it's copped the belting it has from the critics. What was once mighty has fallen. Hard. I'm doubly heartbroken by the fact that it was a disappointing movie and that I missed the larger part of a movie I've been eagerly waiting for. Obviously I'm going to have to go and see it again, but I'm not particularly looking forward to it.
Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 Hey Nanks, Aint It Cool says that the ending in particular sucks balls, what are youre thoughts - but use spiler tags, just in case
NYU Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 If the end of the movie is what I heard the end of the movie was, then yes, the ending will suck huge balls. Either way, going to see it at IMAX on Friday. I didn't particularly hate Reloaded, so it wouldn't bother me if this movie was on the same level.
Guest Nanks Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 There's probably no real need for the spoiler tags, but I will anyway Spoiler (Highlight to Read): Yes, the ending sure did suck balls, big ones. Simply put, they fucked it. They fucked it REAL bad, and that's without really seeing most of the movie
edotherocket Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 Wow, that was really bad. Weird plot holes, loose ends, bad continuity and some really bad dialogue. I'll go in to more detail once everyone else has seen it. I nodded off for a while there too. But that was more from lack of sleep. I look forward to reading this thread when its a page long and filled with remarks about how appalling bad and disappointing it was. I guess I recommend watching it because I think the sheer shittiness of this film will be a hot topic for a while and you'll want to join in on the Matrix Revolutions-bashing.
1234-5678 Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 An idiot friend of mine raved about it. However, I am more inclined to take The Smarks opinion.
razazteca Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 So did anything get explained? Please don't say that it has the lame, Bobby Ewing, it was all a dream ending.
Justice Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 I'm seeing it tonight. This is quite disturbing, though. Oh well, still have Return of the King to wait for...
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 The critics have absolutely shredded this movie so far. I have to say I'm seriously considering skipping the whole thing.
Guest Just J Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 From what I've been told the spoilers I posted where correct which means it sucked ass. I have a chance to see it for free this weekend, so I probably will.
cabbageboy Posted November 5, 2003 Author Report Posted November 5, 2003 Yeah Mr. J. I remember your spoiler page. I haven't seen the movie yet but from the reviews I've read it all matches up with what your spoilers said. I'm actually planning to see it on Saturday with my brother since he'll be off from school. Also going with my friend Ian. Ian is necessary because we ranted at length in a restaurant about Reloaded after seeing it initially. Haha. Anyway, I tried to warn people about this. I really did. I kept saying that there was really no good way to end this thing. In a warped way I am eager to see the movie just to see if it sucks as bad as I think it will. I guess this is the Wachowskis new ingenious way of making money: deliver an absolute turkey and have people go see it just to see if it's really as bad as purported.
dutchse.cx Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 Yeah Mr. J. I remember your spoiler page. I haven't seen the movie yet but from the reviews I've read it all matches up with what your spoilers said. link plz, omg.
cabbageboy Posted November 5, 2003 Author Report Posted November 5, 2003 I don't remember the actual site address, hopefully Mr. J will hook you up. If not maybe check the past threads?
Guest Just J Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 Here is the link. Damn I hate that it sucks so bad. It could have been a calssic.
Justice Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 I held off on reading them until now. I think I might cry because this looks to be painfully shitty.
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 Wonder how many theaters are going to have riots start over the ending? I'm going to seriously want to kick someone's ass if I sat through 3 movies for that.
Guest MikeSC Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 Wonder how many theaters are going to have riots start over the ending? I'm going to seriously want to kick someone's ass if I sat through 3 movies for that. Oh, the ending was as bad as advertised. -=Mike ...Probably a little better than Reloaded, though.
Nighthawk Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 I always thought they were kind of stupid, all I want is an action movie. I hope I get that much at last.
tpww7 Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 I just got back from the 1:20 showing...eh at least it was better than Reloaded, although the end blew.
justsoyouknow Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 Well then I hope you're prepared to be disappointed. My friends and I went to the 7AM showing this morning, and we ALL left disappointed. Spoiler (Highlight to Read): I'm upset that they cut the Merovingian out as much as they did. He was the best character in Reloaded. Persephone had like, what, one line? All around a general embarassment.
Guest MikeSC Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 I always thought they were kind of stupid, all I want is an action movie. I hope I get that much at last. Well, more action than in Reloaded. But it gets a little tedious, to be honest. Honestly, I'd go into detail, but spoilers suck hard, and I don't trust that I could work the HTML thing here to actually NOT give it away. -=Mike
CanadianChris Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 Shit. I so don't want to see this movie now...I'll have to, just because I have a sliver of hope that it's not as bad as it looks, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted November 5, 2003 Report Posted November 5, 2003 Are any questions answered in this movie?
Guest HHH123007 Posted November 6, 2003 Report Posted November 6, 2003 (edited) Yes, they answer the questions from the last one....with more questions... EDIT: Oh, and that link is 50-60% correct. Edited November 6, 2003 by HHH123007
Art Sandusky Posted November 6, 2003 Report Posted November 6, 2003 Nah, those spoilers are only about 35% right. It wasn't as bad as the spoilers would be in movie form. I'm disappointed yes, but god-DAMN was that some intense shit in spots. Spoiler (Highlight to Read): The idea of a peace between machine and man instead of one clear victor pisses me off. It makes me feel like the Austin/HHH thing from early 2001 where they went from hating each other to becoming buddies (including vanquishing The Rock, in this case Neo). It doesn't make much sense. I also expected it to contain a LOT more philosophical babble, but this time they just stood around saying "yes, I know what you're thinking" in different ways for two hours. EDIT: Okay, maybe you picked up on some stuff I didn't notice. The spoilers don't seem that accurate to me.
