If you haven't heard of this film, then I recommend you to crawl out of you hole in the afghan mountainside and get to a cinema.

<span style="color:blue">Well anyway, for the rest of the world, have you seeen it and is it any good. Im going to see it on thursday with mates (and try to get in). its supposed to be amazingly violent with tonnes of special effects and not much plot.

Well anyway, for those who have seen it, tell us what you think about it, is it worth it, and don't give any of it away on pain of execution...thats about all </span>

I was a little worried when I went to see it. I knew it was going to be a cracking film, but there had been a lot of reviews talking about how it was very disappointing.

Screw those hippies It’s a fantastic film!!

It may not be as ‘good’ as the original film, but how could it possible break as much new ground as the first? A lot of critics complained that there was so much cgi that it looked more like a computer game. So? What the hell is wrong with that? I like that sort of stuff and all those namby pamby luddites who have a problem with that should stick to subtitled foreign films and eating tofu!

The only time cgi is a bad thing is when it is done badly (a la Blade 2 when he first fights the ninja vamps ). In this film it was all good.

OK, so the plot isn’t supposed to be rocket science, but it’s decent enough. It adds new levels to the war with the machines and makes ‘what’s going on’ more complex than the first.

Another reason why some people didn't 'get it' was because when it is explained what is actually going on, the dude uses some words of more than 2 syllables and a lot of people probably got confused at all the big words and the logic behind it.

That's their problem, not the films.

It definitely gets a big thumbs up from Gid


Btw – at the end of the film, if you sit through until the end of the credits there will be a short trailer for the next film ‘revolutions’ (and that looks seriously kick a$$ as well!)

[SIZE=2]<span style="font-family:arial">If you enjoyed the first film you will definitely not be disappointed with the sequel.As for giving stuff away,I'll just say that some questions are raised regarding what was told in the original.It true that the plot isn't quite as extensive as the first but then again,they did have to get everyone somewhat familiarized with what's doing in the first movie-most should have a good memory of this and so there's no need for any "set up",just straight to the action in Reloaded.</span>[/SIZE]

I saw it and it was a wanderful film. Although my dad didnt really understand it. To many big words... eace:

I seen it today and I have mixed feelings.

First off the dialogue, why in the hell do they need to speak like that? They almost sound like Steve.

Bad CGI, Nemo looked far too 'clean' during the fight with the 'Smith's'.

Maybe it is because I didn't fully understand the first one or just because I haven't seen it for awhile, but I was seriously confused. Things just didn't fit together for me.

The fight scenes were pretty good though. :fight:

One other thing, not really a complaint, not really praise either. Every car that got smashed up in the chase on the freeway was a GM. 90% of the rest of the cars on the freeway were GM. I don't know why I noticed this I just did. Either the brothers have something against GM or they love GM, I don't know which way to take it. :think:

[SIZE=2]<span style="font-family:arial">GM paid a lot of money to provide the vehicles for the movie-that's why all the cars were from this particular manufacturer.It's a somewhat common practice.

It is a good idea to be familiar with what went on in the first movie before seeing this one-maybe you should rent it out and try to sort things out,Rex. ump: </span>[/SIZE]

you obviously paid a lot of attention to the film rex, u cant even get the characters name right :shy:


I thought it was fantastic, somehow id managed to contain myself from watching any trailers about it, anything on TV about it, so i hadnt seen a thing about it. The virus twins were great, i loved them (and to think they work with carole smilie)


It was a great film, and am definetley gonna go watching it again, and the trailer was well worth waiting for that looks great too!!!!

Well Give me 4 hours & I'll tell you what I really think of the film as I'm off with the gang soon to see it (yeeeeeeeeeah! I got FREE tickets to see it) Being a huge fan of The Matrix I know that it will explain a lot of other stuff that the Manga comics first told about a year before the first film was made & the link between the 3 films.

Anyone who really wants to know about The Matrix universe should check out AniMatrix which is a collection of short films & animations from top people in the industry. The best of the Bunch is a 30min film called 'Last Flight of the Osiris' which is the inbetween of the first & second film and was done by the excellent people who made Final Fantasty: Spirits Within. Even the voices & faces are taken off from the FF film. Also is a crossover point for the video game Enter The Matrix as it does get mentioned in it.


Sadly the sites that used house the Manga copies (for free) of the early form of the ideas for The Matrix film was shutdown after the film came a huge box office hit as Warner Bros/Wachowski Brothers has the rights to every aspect of the Film/Name and people like that don't like to see things go for free :swear: :swear:

Just remember - 'Is that air your breathing?' :think:

dont think you are, know you are

i caught a clip of one of the animatrix on MTV the other day, it was really good.

Good thing the rest are out on DVD soon :disco:

OMG - I never knew that the animatrixes were going to be out on channel 5. I watche the final flight of the osiris, but i only thought that its was an one off! Thanks for bringing that to my attention!!! :drool:

I really liked the bit whent hat girl was falling and falling and falling and falling and....(you get the point). (and also the fighting at the start of course, where they started cutting each others clothes off) :drool:

i havent seen matrix reloaded but might be seeing it soon everyone says its really good

5 words... The Best D*** Movie Ever.
Rufus 3000
ps: just waitll next time, reloaded aint over baby!.

Thanks for that intelligent important Rufus. Next time maybe you might want to add a bit more to your posts, what did you like about the film? What didn't you like?

Because posting, "5 simple words" is what we class spamming.

Remember posting is about QUALITY. Not about quantity. If you have 50 quality discussion posts then you'll gain far more respect than posting 200 2 line posts.

the matrix reloaded is cool but the virus twins were rubbish they didnt do anything??

I enjoyed the film. Some of the CG scenes weren't seamless, and that creates watchability issues for me. Aside from that, I got a kick out of it. Of course, I didn't set my expectations very high.

As for it being the "Best D*** Movie Ever," Only if it were the only movie I'd ever seen. As I've seen more than just this film, I have to say no. (Not even close, really )
