Your Thoughts on the Matrix Revolutions?

Macbeth

First Post
DISCLAIMER: I have not seen Revolutions yet, I just figured one of these threads will be needed come tomorrow (or midnight if you are lucky enough to find a theatre :D ), and so I would go ahead and get it started now.

So, what do you have to say about the Martix Revolutions? Did it live up to expectations? How well did it complete the trilogy?

I shall be seeing it tomorrow afternoon! I'm pretty stoked, if only for the excellent discussion that will follow.

I just hope Kai Lord doesn't bring out his Tongue of Lashing. :D
 



Got my ticket all ready. I'm going to Leicester Square (central London Entertainment place) to see it at 2.30pm tomorrow - that's half an hour after the opening show. I'm pretty excited to find out what the Wachowski's have cooked up this time, and the trailer looks like great fun.

Still curious about Seraph's role in the proceedings, given that:
a) The part was originally offered to Jet Li, indicating he has a fair amount to do
b) One sneak preview has a shot of him lining up with Morpheus and Trinity
c) A shot in the trailer has (I think) him striking Morpheous. Hmmm.

Plus, more Agent Smith! :D
 

I have tickets for tommorrow at 5ish. So ready... so ready.

Oh... this part makes me exited:

On the Ebert and Roper that discussed it, there was a pretty long preview that included Neo looking at bane, and in his matrix sight seeing a flaming, angry Smith.
Sick!
 

I just went to Albuquerque because MoviePhone listed a midnight showing, only to be disspaointed and have to settle for 7:00 AM. Now some freinds and I are planning on leaving here at 5:00 AM just to get in line at a reasonable time. Must sleep...
 

I have seen it!

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG spoilers, if you don't want to read them, dont.

Oh, and friendly spoiler-comments... follow the key:

:cool: Safe for all eyes basicly... It's minorly spoilerish, but either common sense, personal opinion (Of the music, for example), or nothing plot-ruining.
;) Spoilers, but could probably be figured out from tailers and a decent leap of logic.
:eek: Big spoiler
:( Something I personaly was disapointed with.

Kick ass! :cool:

Anyone who has ever doubted the religous connections, prepare to taste your foot. This movie makes it so clear it's not even funny. :cool:

As the trailer has hinted at, yes, Neo is blinded in the real world. ;)

Some very, very cool developments with the Oracle... But mostly just an evolution of what you already could figure out. :cool:

Some interesting looks at the day-to-day life of programs in the matrix... which makes it clear that, slavery aside, most matrix-ite programs are no worse than most people in general. Or that different, really. :cool:

The fight scenes were amazing, particularly the middle-ish of the dock fight. I let out a "sweet mother of god" more than once at some scenes. Some good speaches, some great deaths. ;)

More than one main character dies... But even I'm not going to tell who. It's not hard to guess (One has been said will die for a long time now, another you could guess after the first one does). :eek:

The scenes on the surface of the Earth are really well done. :cool:

Neo's "Cyberkineses" thing is actually never really explained that well... He can "sense" machines, but it's never really said why or how, or how he can affect them. And he can do more than shut them down... He can actually destroy them. As in boom-boom destroy. :(

The final fight with Smith was a bit long for my tastes. VERY "DragonBall Z" ish... insane levels of power. But very creepy at the same time. :(

Some good development of minor characters in Zion, and of Seraph, one of the coolest characters of the second one, IMO. :cool:

There is one very... um.... exotic, erotic, kinky, something or other club scene... lesbian makeouts, that actually show some skin, gay guys dancing in tight leather, people in bondage outfits, you name it. Strange. : :cool:

Music was MUCH better than 2, and even 1 IMO, and there was no damn "rave" scene this time, or anything like it. Very orchestral, choral music at the end too. :cool:

Some kick-ass stuff with the hoverships. :cool:

And the one EVERYONE is waiting for, the huge one, the most asked question after 2:

:eek: It's no "matrix within a matrix" or anything of the type. The matrix is EXACTLY what it is made out to be... a computer on a desolate planet. :eek:

More to come as I think of it, or am asked. Maybe not much more tonight though, I'm tired and all that. :)

Dammit Tsyr, do you know how hard it's going to be not to look at those until I see it tomorrow? Arrrrrrrgh!!! :)

My work here is done.

For once I wanted to be the evil one.

That's a rhyme, I don't know why.

And one more thing that won't make you sigh:

Trailers there are, tons and tons and still another ton.

Yet surprisingly, most of them are fun, fun, fun.

Last Samurai there is, and one out of the blue for me, Troy.

And Return of the King... Nothing new, but still, LotR, Oh boy!

And last, though actually in order near the first, and not least:

A new one for Punisher... Man, that man is a beast!
