But it has Belluci's perfect breasts.

Leee OTM.

Finally saw this at the budget tonight. Since I was expecting it to completely suck, I was very pleasantly surprised that it was a perfectly decent movie with similar strengths and weaknesses to the last one.

However, no one on this thread mentioned the bit in the initial pan across the goth club where one of the dancers pulls his dance partner's breasts out of her corset by the nipples, WTF?!

two years pass...

i'm probably overstating things just a little bit, but this is quite possibly the worst film i have ever seen

― gear (gear), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:00 (twenty years ago)

so fucking rough.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:02 (twenty years ago)

i mean... the second one is pretty abominable too. could that be worse?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:02 (twenty years ago)

no way, it had the car chase and more belluci

― gear (gear), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:03 (twenty years ago)

and an exploding cyber-vagina

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:04 (twenty years ago)

i hated the second one so much i waited until last night to finally check this out. i have never seen a film that i wished i hadn't seen more than this one.

― gear (gear), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:05 (twenty years ago)

which one had the rave?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:06 (twenty years ago)

The second one.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:06 (twenty years ago)

boring, loud, obnoxious, anticlimactic. i read a review that called it "a whimper disguised as a bang", that was pretty OTM but not harsh enough. also: that line towards the end where "the oracle" says, 'i don't think we've seen the last of neo' made me want to break my TV.

― gear (gear), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:07 (twenty years ago)

ALL 3 MOVIES SUCK. THESE GUYS CANT MAKE MOVIES FOR SHIT. BOUND WAS HORRIBLE TOO. V FOR VENDETTA LOOKS LIKE A STINKER. IF ITS GOOD ILL EAT MY HAT.

― chaki (chaki), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:09 (twenty years ago)

i think i'm going to sell my dvd of the first 'matrix' now. and there's no way in hell i'm going to see 'v for vendetta' now. fuck these guys.

― gear (gear), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:11 (twenty years ago)

i was planning to watch it again in a few hours after finally buying the DVD.

i will probably agree more with gear than myself two years ago...

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:15 (twenty years ago)

Yes, this is truly the worst movie ever. Even the fight scenes suck - oooh, look here's Neo facing off against a million evil guys... but who cares, since we know they don't really die or mean anything, and we know that Neo can't die. Real martial arts action movie are bad enough, this was unbearable.

― Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:19 (twenty years ago)

you know, I agree with Chaki. However, I've never seen any of the Matrix movies, because I saw "Bound" first and it was SO FUCKING BAD.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:21 (twenty years ago)

i'm really mad at myself for watching this. i should have rented 'domino' instead.

― gear (gear), Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:30 (twenty years ago)

I like the second two more and more as we move further away from the knee-jerk hype-panning that characterized the criticism around the time of their respective releases. The first Matrix was so self-contained and essentially didn't need a sequel. The second two are overly self-referential (and didn't provide any more pop-post-modern illumination via Baudrillard), but I'm beginning to see more in them as time goes on.

― i'm from hollywood, Saturday, 11 March 2006 00:49 (twenty years ago)

you would think that, though.

― gear (gear), Saturday, 11 March 2006 01:26 (twenty years ago)

i liked bound! and i still (probably) like the first one, it had some neat movie ideas. that were not exploited at all in 2 and 3 mind.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 11 March 2006 01:55 (twenty years ago)

considering the first film had action scenes that were pretty tight in editing and relatively economical, it was amazing how bludgeoning the next two films were, style-wise

― gear (gear), Saturday, 11 March 2006 01:59 (twenty years ago)

totally! and stuff like escaping thru the telephone, neat cinematic stuff like that, is not even used in the sequels

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 11 March 2006 02:00 (twenty years ago)

yeah this movie's pretty dire

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 11 March 2006 02:38 (twenty years ago)

i just remember the subplot with the crusty old general and that kid who took over his walker-robot thing and then shot open the gate and said, "believe..."

― gear (gear), Saturday, 11 March 2006 02:40 (twenty years ago)

yeah! my god, and one of the cheesiest "council of elders" or whatever in a sci-fi movie ever

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 11 March 2006 02:44 (twenty years ago)

i guess we're supposed to believe in neo half-assing it and selling out humanity for some michael collins-esque "pax machina"

― gear (gear), Saturday, 11 March 2006 02:46 (twenty years ago)

yeah, a truce with colonel sanders ain't no truce at all if you ask me

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 11 March 2006 02:47 (twenty years ago)

which reminds me, why wasn't there a tie-in with KFC for this movie?

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 11 March 2006 02:48 (twenty years ago)

KFC declined in favor of the equilibrium account

― gear (gear), Saturday, 11 March 2006 02:50 (twenty years ago)

matrix 4: protocols of the elders of zion

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 11 March 2006 04:09 (twenty years ago)

I didn't consider him "Colonel Sanders" so much as "Not Donald Sutherland"

also, best description of the elders group goes to a friend who called them "Dreadlocked Starfleet Command"

― kingfish da notorious teletabby (kingfish 2.0), Saturday, 11 March 2006 08:13 (twenty years ago)

i still really like Reloaded a lot

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Saturday, 11 March 2006 10:40 (twenty years ago)

Reloaded had some good elements to it, but I recall that most of the plot stuff I had a "It'll be explained in the last one, you'll see" attitude to. And of course it wasn't. At some point I'll watch Reloaded to see whether it can be salvaged. I really really don't think I'll be sitting through Revolutions again.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Saturday, 11 March 2006 13:24 (twenty years ago)

I haven't seen 2 or 3

why aren't they called 2 and 3, though? stupid names

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 11 March 2006 13:38 (twenty years ago)

reloaded is the only one worth watching. so over the top, so ridiculous.

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Saturday, 11 March 2006 14:22 (twenty years ago)

why aren't they called 2 and 3, though? stupid names

oh it doesn't matter.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Saturday, 11 March 2006 15:08 (twenty years ago)

isn't 2 just our heroes going from one long-winded bore to another?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 11 March 2006 15:13 (twenty years ago)

if blade trinity were called blade 3 I might want to see it and blade 2

I would like die hard: with a vengeance more if it were called die hard 3: die hard with a vengeance or something

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 11 March 2006 15:28 (twenty years ago)

i won't see a sequel unless it's using Roman numerals

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Saturday, 11 March 2006 15:33 (twenty years ago)

altho i'd wish they'd get a move on with the prequels to Phase IV

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Saturday, 11 March 2006 15:34 (twenty years ago)

rocky VI?

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 11 March 2006 15:36 (twenty years ago)

i fell asleep halfway through the second one, woke up at the end, felt no need to ever rent it or see it again to fill in the holes. nice bellucci though.

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 11 March 2006 15:48 (twenty years ago)

I saw this film when it came out. It was probably worth it for the 10 seconds of hott BDSM goths - but that was the best thing about it.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Saturday, 11 March 2006 17:20 (twenty years ago)

two years pass...

Finally saw this last night. I liked the 2nd one though toward the end it got confusing as I don't think I was invested enough in the storyline. This was just boring, like the dull space battles from the new Star Wars but stretched out to an hour and inter-cut with stuff that was in the other movies. Perhaps the plot of this movie isn't as confusing as it seems to me, but it felt like every time a major character was going to drop a plot bomb they went into cliche Matrix-talk. "What do I need to do?" "You know, you've always known." This isn't philosophical, it's bad writing.

Also, yeah, the guy with the attitude that likes to cuts himself, let's leave him in the same room with a disabled Neo, and have him watched over by one doctor lady. Also let's get the Master Control Program from Tron except make him look like a baby. How come Neo can't bring Trinity back from the dead again, if Neo got taken over by Smith in the first movie would the world have ended like it does here, and what were all the mechs doing in that inter-dimensional vortex from the end of Howard the Duck?

Only reason to see this film are those amazing breasts.

― Adam Bruneau, Monday, 8 December 2008 19:52 (seventeen years ago)

ugh, this movie. you know what sucked about this too is that the "real world" which is masked by the matrix is boring and ugly. i would rather have had a couple more movies completely within the matrix program, with neo and the rest kind of working undercover like a viral program, instead of this leather fetish rave fighting bullshit. and considering how "smart" this movies were supposed to be, the last two are so, so stupid.

i did see v for vendetta in the end, it was good, i suppose.

speed racer was better than revolutions, btw.

― omar little, Monday, 8 December 2008 20:01 (seventeen years ago)

seriously! being plugged into the matrix seems like a pretty sweet deal.

Omar OTM, "Speed Racer" was MUCH better than both sequels.

it's true tho, the whole hook of the first one is that once you know the truth you can learn kung fu instantly and become superman... and travel thru phones and shit. why would you want to set your movie outside of that??

― s1ocki, Monday, 8 December 2008 23:07 (seventeen years ago)

Because you want to have a crazy rave sequence mayhaps.
