I'm assuming 5 is the best and 1 the worst? I thought it was a fun movie, no where near the original in, well, originality, story, or cinematic value. I'll give it a 3.

C-ya
 
Fair enough. It doesn't light a candle to the first, but I still give it a 5 because I love it. In fact I love it so much that I got a bootlegg off the internet. But anyway...go see it Wedge.
 
I was talking about Revolutions, the final instalment.

But come to think of it, I don't really like giving ratings anyway. Reloaded was certainly good in some parts, but other aspects aren't so positive. Like anything, really.
 
Sorry bout that. I quickly breezed over your post. You're right, nothing's perfect but the first MAtrix is about as close as it gets.
 
I have to go with Wedge. Depends on part #3. If it ties up the story nicely I would be tempted to give it a 5. On its own it is a 3-4 for me.
 
5 from me, I was discussing this with Quarto and I know what he has against it, lack of character and the fact that everyone was "meant" to do what they did and thats a big no no as far as your general rules are concerned.
Well I couldn't give a rats ass about right and wrong rules, I love sci fi, I've seen more than any human should and this was the FIRST time I'd seen the cause => effect => cause loop used outside of time travel and they'd been hinting upto this in the first movie. I love clever ideas, now the original Matrix reminded me too much of various pieces of sci fi, there was even an episode of Voyager where these people were in suspended animation in an artifical enviroment and the concious A.I. in the program needed them to survive (obviously the premise behind the matrix is deeper than that but it is strikingly similar to that and many others).
Anyway I'm drifiting, but I loved the action sequences, especially on the freeway, I left conjuring up all kinds of theories with my girlfriend such as "is the oracle ACTUALLY on the side of the machines or has she been decieving them?" (notice she predicted trinity and neos relationship yet the architect seemed to be under the impression that little detail had never happened before) more than anything I loved the statement made by the movie that its not so much our choices that make us free willed or unpredictable but our emotions.

Fine so it started off slowly and the scenes on Zion were relativley pointless, these are valid criticisms, but to me as a sci fi fan I was glad of a popular movie which didn't try to dumb its self down.

I disagree. The fact that they felt the need to explain the major concepts of the movie in long boring monologues is dumbing it down. All those concepts are glaringly obvious without the explanations. Get on with the action.
 
All of them? Which concepts are you thinking of? I think there were some quite advanced thoughts in there.
 
well cause and effect and control/choice/predestination were the main concepts of the movie. I roll the last three all up into one theme because they're all related. Those are obvious. They certainly didn't require long boring speeches. IIRC that was it. I only watched it once and that was a few weeks back but I believe those are what are pertinent to the movie's story.

There are the minor "how do you know the world is real" things. Like blaming ghosts, vampires and other wierdness on bad/rouge "programs". Hence the Twins. There's the downloading Smith into someones brain thing.
 
Well, it's nice that they seem obvious to you. The makers clearly tried to cater for everyone - if they didn't have some explanation, you'd have even more people complain about not understanding what the movie was about.
 
I thought the Matrix was about coming up with wild excuses to have awesome action/fight sequences....
