it's a collection of all the reviews for the movie... a 30%ish movie isnt good at all.

Hey Reepicheep,

First of all:


1.- Fuck your mother
2.- Fuck your father
3.- Fuck your Grandfather
4.- Fuck your Grandmother
5.- Fuck your sister
6.- Fuck your brother
7.- Fuck your uncle
8.- Fuck your aunt
9.- Fuck your cousin
10.- But most important of all, FUCK YOU.

Now, the movie, well I'm gonna go see it tomorrow, and the previews look great. Ebert and Ropert (or whatever his name is) gave this movie 2 thumbs up, although this doesnt mean that the movie will be good, but it surely gives me hope.

I've asked 6 friends who've watched it on separate occasions, and they all said it rox. 2 thumbs up ^.^

battle scenes own, music is envigorating, and the movie would make so much more sense if it played backwards, leaving neo at the station for all eternity.

did u see the starting credits? disney has a new movie with a (for lack of better term) poorly-chosen title.

[ZeUs!!]

The french bloke's wife had the best part in the film - or more importantly - the french bloke's wife's tits had the best part in the film

[cundor]

I think they should have added more boobs.
But that's just me...

[ZeUs!!]

What do you know about boobs, you're gay?

Anyway, I did like the action parts, first part before the intermission was a bit slow.... if u had an intermission that is :P

The music owned!

o well i seriously think u should go out and see it, some parts are not so truely good, but it still has enough reasons to see it

www.moviecritic.com (very polar ratings, 52%)

I have nevertrusted, and will never trust, rotten tomatoes. They do a piss poor job of filtering their reviews, and quite frankly I could get a more accurate rating out of a heard of lowland gorillas.

Okay, so like I said, the reviews are pretty polar. Let's check out who's voting which way though:

90% Robert Ebert - Prestigious. Sci-Fi fan, but very respected film critic. Usually a good person to turn to if you're willing to accept the Sci-Fi genera.

10% Steve Hunter - Wow! Not only is he a pretencious asshole who's too dumb to understand the opening scenes, he also managed to get the movie's running time wrong! GG! Keep in mind, this is also the same person who gave Equilibrium a zero after it's blatantly obvious he walked out in the first ten minutes. Okay, so he likes French films about two women in a car, in the rain, at night and he doesn't like action movies. He's OBVIOUSLY a bad choice of reviewers to listen to.

So, as you can see, famous, respected, brilliant people liked the movie. and no talent, arrogant, fucker, can't-cut-it-actually-making-movie HACKS don't like it. Who you going to listen to?


Okay, seriously. The movie's more of the same so if you didn't like the first two you won't like this one. I thought it was better than two, but not better than one. If you pay attention, Revolutions does a pretty good job of filling in the holes Reloaded's plot left (well, within the bounds of Suspension of Belief. If you're not willing to do that you've got no right to be within 20 miles of a action movie). I personally didn't like the Zion battle (too haphazard, no real focus from either side. The zion walker things (as seen in the previews), were cool, but their design was piss poor compared to the masterful job done on the rest of the movie's technology.), but on the flipside I thought the final battle between Smith and Neo was amazing. There's tons of little things you can miss in that fight scene, but I won't spoil it for those that want to look. The only real problem I had with that scene was the disjointed jaw thing... that was a bit much. Good to see they learned from two though, and you didn't get another overly cartoony, crappy looking, Burly Brawl.

Final Verdict: Amazing. The fight scenes, the tech, everything was very well done. It's, of course, a little light on the deep philosophy and a bit heavy on the moralizing, but they stick with the theme of the first two and do a pretty awesome job of hammering home their point. Kudos to the Wachowskis.


P.S: Anyone else fall out of their chair laughing when Nairobi says, "Ghost, get back there! You're our best gunner!"?

Can I hold you to that?

Matrix was ass and half. YES YOU HEARD ME - not just one ass, but a complete ass, and then another half an ass added to the first full ass. They tried making this movie accessable to the general public by loading it with action and fight scenes. I'm sorry, but two semi-animated characters slapping at each other just doesn't do it for me (I coulda seen a better animated fight by borrowing one of Epi's japanese animes). It's repetitive too, it was the same fight they had in #2, only longer and in four different settings. The plot was lost because of the focus put on the action, if you weren't wearing 3inch glasses and clutching a copy of The Matrix Philosophy, chances are you didn't comprehend a large part of the plot, let alone it's significance. Bottom line is, the movie could have been done MUCH better. There is ALOT of room for improvement. It seemed as though some parts of the movie were action packed to the brim, while others were full of pure dialect, which came off as an attempt to squeeze the actual plot in. I take major issue with this movie, originally i was not going to watch it because number two was ass (even watched it twice to confirm), but I spent another $13.50 of my hard earned canadian monopoly money giving the 3rd movie the benefit of the doubt. I was sorely dissapointed. It's weird, i loved the first movie, i thought it was great, but the second two did nothing for me. I guess i'll just have to wait for the 3rd LOTR to enjoy the end of a real trilogy.

OH YEA:
Acting was shit too.

Keanu Reeves needs to make a Bill and Ted's excellent adventure part TWO. Only this time it will be reality based, and Reeves will die of an unfortunate and accidental stabbing to the head.

That already exists dude... I saw it in the theatres when I was like 10. Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey I believe it's called. I'm too lazy to look that up.
