New Matrix trailer

[Viking Bastard]

Damn!

Now I'll have to burn my seat.

I lost all bladder control.

I honestly think that The Matrix Trilogy will completly eclipse Starwars. Its closest contender is LOTR.

I think LOTR is better, but it is hard to compare the two since they are so different. They both excell at what they do.

Apples and Oranges and they both taste great.

Why does it download so slow?...waiting...waiting...

"Prophecy TV spot" - oooooo...pretty...

"I'm In TV spot" - OOOOOO...good quote too "He's doing his Superman thing..." plus the Twins look even cooler than I'd heard...

And now the Trailer. Response when it downloads.

it downloaded. I'm speaking quietly because I'm trying to get my head round how good this film will be. I need to book tickets now.

Anyone know if there is going to be a midnight release?

Probably.

You can find out on May 1st when tickets go on sale on Fandango and AOL Moviefone. They'd be crazy not to have a midnight showing. I've already taken the 15th and 16th off from work (for doctors appointements and errands) So I plan on being in the theater for a Midnight showing here in NY.

Maybe in ticket sales only. But I don't even think that will happen. I love how people look for something to de-throne the classic trilogy that made all these summer blockbusters possible.

These next 2 movies are going to be really fun, no doubt. But awesome special effects do not a complete movie make. If you want to compare it movie for movie, Reloaded is going up against Empire Strikes Back. That is an incredibly tall order. I just don't see it.

But it will be fun to watch. I'm very much looking forward to the rest of the year for all the Matrix media coming out.

I think he meant the new Star Wars trilogy. The new episodes are crap, so it's unsurprising that Matrix and LotR will surpass them. But the original Star Wars trilogy is so much more watchable, I think it will still reign supreme. I mean, we're all going to show Star Wars to our kids, and hopefully they'll love it; you can't really show them the Matrix (too violent), and possibly not even LotR (too serious).

"Completely eclipse Star Wars" is what the comment was, so I was going on that. I won't comment on the newer films because they aren't finished yet and we differ in opinion on them. As for the original trilogy, you hit it right on the head. It has become part of our culture and will continue to be. It's timeless.

If we are going to compare trilogies, it is unfair to compare this second trilogy to any of the Matrix films. If they had a second trilogy coming out then I'd be up for a comparison.

Actually, now that I think of it I don't want to hijack Eric's thread with this. I think we'll all agree that the Matrix films will be entertaining and we'll enjoy them. I'll start a new thread for it if we want to talk about this further.

GUH! FRAUGH!! BLUCK!!!

Damned if that's not perhaps the coolest trailer I've ever seen. In the words of Moe, "Makes Little Debbie look like a pile of puke". That thing with hurling the Smiths away, maybe thirty of them, that's just incredible. I can't believe what I just watched. I'm now more excited to watch the Neo vs. Agent Smiths fight than I was to watch the Yoda battle at this time last year. I believe there'll be more payoff, too.

That freeway scene just kills me. Holy crap. Looks like this'll have to be another twice-in-a-day viewer for me...
