What Did You Think Of Matrix Revolutions?

[RegularKarate]

That's it... I'm giving in to the power of spoilage!

I'm gonna find a copy of the bootleg Revolutions and make an animated avatar of the last scene!  And I'm changing my title to Black Mamba's real name!  Who's gonna help me figure out who'll win in the next Freddy VS. Whoever movie?  I need it for my signature.

The fat guy and the dumb guy gave it two thumbs up, but said it was the weakest of the three movies.  "Too much action, not enough of that wonderful dialogue."  Gripe when there's too much dialogue, gripe when there's not enough blah blah blah

... the Special Edition DVD that was pulled ...

There are many things that are certain in this world.  Like, for instance, gravity... and all-new special edition re-release DVDs.  But I'm not complaining.  I'm actually pretty excited...     I won't have to play through that crappy game after all!

Lord Joel: Yeah, we decided to do it now.  The boys always wanted to re-transfer the first film.  They weren't really happy with it.  They always thought it was too light.  They didn't really have the time then.  They want to re-transfer 1 and they want to connect all of the scenes that they shot for the videogame with the DVD.  There'll be some kind of an icon that you'll go to that go right to the scenes from the videogame that will continue and then you can go back to the movie.  You'll be able to follow all of that and then do a lot of stuff that they want to do, so there'll be a big three-part next fall.  That's our intention.

I pat myself on the back for not buying any matrix dvd cause i knew this would happen.

Okay, time for the (I think) first official Xixax review.

First, a recap. I loved the first one, mostly liked but entirely unimpressed by the second.

Revolutions is awesome. I dug the hell out of it and I'm willing to defend it against any detractors. There are tons of problems, and its frequently really cheesy, but I dismiss all those things because what it does right is just extraordinary and somehow all the goofy stuff ends up working pretty well. The siege on Zion...man, even if you don't care for the movie, that extended sequence will make you have trouble breathing. The whole movie is thirty minutes shorter than Reloaded, and it's a nonstop rush -- but even with so much more going on, it feels more realistic, more human. I didn't care much about anything in Reloaded, but everything here grabbed me and captivated me. The special effects are amazing, of course, but unlike the last film, I never once thought "Oh, that's a special effect." Everything works.

I won't say I love it, because I know how objectivity can take over once exihleration wears off...but I left completely satisfied.

I imagine everyone will have seen it in a week, and then we can get down to the nitty-gritty spoilerific details.

Ghostboy, think I'll like it? I'm going into this with no hope of anything good.

[Ghostboy]

You'll like it more than the last one.

i hate when you say things like that.  why go at all then?  i mean, go with lowered expectations but if you are going with "NO HOPE OF ANYTHING GOOD", why go?
