[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1499430, member: 63"] Ach, people are getting on my case. I knew I was being snippy, but I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition. . . . . Anyway, I watched this movie at 4 in the morning, and I posted at 6 in the morning. I often stay up doing things I find cool, but I was just weary of the Matrix by the end of the movie. There were three different times in the movie someone said something to the effect of "There's no easy way to say this, and you already know this, but I'm going to say it again anyway." What the hell is with the line "Some things never change, and some things do"? It is in no way profound or witty, but it's used 3 or 4 times between Reloaded and Revolutions. True, I didn't expect any great dialogue from the movie series that gave us Keanu Reeves saying, "You can't die. . . . I love you too damn much." But this movie's dialogue was very stiff, and drawn out. And I know you already know my opinion, but I'll tell you anyway: the dialogue was bad. Now, there were good parts. The cloud flythrough is a nice moment. The fight with Smith in Bane is phenomenal. The moments of Niobe flying through the bowels of the Death Star/ I mean the mechanical line were nice, but they were sadly interspersed with Morpheus being useless and us having to watch people defending a city of second-string cast members. The beginning had some nice moments, and Smith in general was fun to watch (though at the end I really wanted him to spout some really good, Biblical-quality evil rants, like, "I am Legion, I am the Beast, I killed your master, and now I'm going to kill you, with your own sword no less." The fight with Smith at the end was [i]boring[/i]. Do something inovative, please! Invent aerial kung fu that looks cool. Grab buildings and use them as clubs. Rip off Neo's arm and make him regrow it with his willpower. Hell, create a kamehameha energy blast and tear through the city. But at this point, bouncing off each other 8 times isn't fun to watch. I admit, repeat viewings of Reloaded made me appreciate how [i]great[/i] that chase scene on the freeway is, and how fun punching is. And how silly CGI people look while fighting. And how much better I like the first oracle than the second one. But the only really good parts of Reloaded were the ones in the Matrix. And you know what Matrix 3 didn't have in it? THE MATRIX! I thought maybe I was being too critical of it the first time, when, y'know, I had to pay money for it. But I got to watch it for free last night, and my time was wasted. It's sad when a movie series that's all about being cool and looking cooler forgets about the first part. [/QUOTE]
