[QUOTE="Viking Bastard, post: 842939, member: 509"] Wait, you didn't like the mind battle in Dark City? It's one of my favourite fight scenes in all of moviedom. I love psionic stuff like that. Makes my skin crawl in Holy GEEKiness! Perfect ending of a perfect movie. Well, nearly perfect... . As for the Matrix, love the movie and I can understand Chrichton's 'more potential' statement, but I didn't feel cheated, I saw 'to be continued' written all over it since the first major battle scene. That's fine by me. I like serials, prefer them if anything, the problem is of course of how adept Hollywood studios are to screw them up. I've never seen The Matrix as outstanding in anything plot wise, but that doesn't make it a worse movie. I like the before mentioned [i]Magnolia[/i] a lot, it really moved me, but I still think The Matrix's the better movie, because when I weight the things I liked about the Matrix (powertrip, kewlness, fun) against the things I liked about Magnolia (script, character deapth, drama) I got more out of the Matrix. And I can't stand most Kung Fu crap. I'm soooo annoyed by all the Kung Fu mania that's followed The Matrix... and that bullet time stunt just makes me gringe. I love the movie, but I can't stand the flood of Hollywood copycats since. I've never been a fan of martial arts movies (there's a bunch of 'em I like, but it's usually [i]despite[/i] the kung fu, not because of it). The Matrix however, made me like it. [/QUOTE]
