Your Thoughts on the Matrix Revolutions?

[Rugger]

I think that some people really do expect too much from a movie. Its a movie. Did it entertain you..yes or no...
If not than thats great but it did me, and a lot of other people too!

But to each their own.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

And before I saw the movie, I was one of THOSE people...I wanted to have all the answers handed to me on a plate, and for this movie to somehow cure cancer and bring peace to the world.

But when I walked out, all I could say to myself was "That was fun!"

And I couldn't be happier.

Warner Brothers said there will be no more Matrix movies, but think about this:

Spoiler

If Neo is a christ figure, he will rise again in three days......

I am also basing my expectation of RotK on the last 2 movies. A friend of mine loved FotR, hated TTT because it was not as close to the book.

One of the actors has also hinted that there may be more, though one of the producers outright denied it.

Anyway, I think most problems have been caused by people accustomed to Hollywood garbage, where everything MUST have a happy ending, where everything MUST be spelt out for the guy in the back whose largest leap of imagination was back before he could talk when he tried to eat playdoh (about 9 or so), where everything MUST be wrapped up neatly and allow people to forget the film so they can see the next one from the studio (and when they're making a film every week or two, that's a lot). If you're not a brainwashed zombie, you'll be more satisfied with the film.

No offense to brainwashed zombies, of course. You're a vital cog in the corporate machine that makes movies possible.

Anyway, I really did enjoy it, and if you're ready for it, I suspect you will too.
And to state something fairly obvious: <cut fairly not obvious total speculation>
Fairly simple, really.

Wow. You've visciously insulted 70% of the people in this thread. How can I respond to this without getting banned? I can't, so I guess I won't.

I deleted what I was going to post here.


Sorry I could not live up to THE MATRIX. Guess I should just go back to watching Jerry Springer and Joe Millioniare. Sorry for seeing the movie and not liking it.

Hey, lets calm down here. Some people liked the movie some didn't, thats why this thread is titled "YOUR Thoughts." If you liked it, fine, if you disliked it, fine, nobodies opinion is less valid. Lets just leave all of the "offensive" comments in the past (or maybe delete them) and move on with discussion, without demeaning anybody else's opinion.

I am so sorry if anything I typed brought you to feel this way. I think its great to express your opinions and alot of people did not like the movie for a multitude of reasons. I dont think it is fair to refer to anyone as a brainwashed zombie.

I like hollywood garbage, Charlies Angels Movies, even mindless shows such as Zena warrior princess. One of my favorite movies is Mulan Rouge. Survivor is my favorite TV show.
But like I have previously stated, I hated Gladiator, and still do. I dont think anyone is stupid for liking it!


My husband hates most movies considered Hollywood movies. He has a standard of actors and producers that he expects to find in a good movie. Pretty much hates most TV shows, especially Everybody Loves Raymond.
(he also disliked Gladiator.)

We both liked Revolutions.
Neither of us are sheep or zombies, brainwashed or otherwise.

I found a picture of a tank that was supposed to be used in the movie.

Hah! Great stuff!

Nice picture, indeed. I wondered about it in the movie, too.

But there is a simple reason why the characters aren`t sitting behind 2cm of steel, it is even spelled out on the whatisthematrix page - they wanted the audience to see the characters. Quite simple. Imagine you couldn`t see them - wouldn`t that make the whole fight quite boring - all you would be able to see were machines and weapons, no characters. Realistic, maybe, but boring.
So, if it helps you: in the "real" Zion, the pilots of the APUs are shielded. In the movie Zion, they aren`t.
