Message: <blockquote data-quote="Berandor" data-source="post: 1208942" data-attributes="member: 225">Let me be the first to say it: I hate the spoiler tags! I mean, they are a very good idea, if you post in a general topic and want to leave a sentence or so hidden, because obviously not everyone reading the thread will want to know. But after highlighting 67 posts, all full of spoiler tags, my head swims, and I don't even know who said what or what was said, simply because I my eyes began bleeding halfway through. I'd say in a discussion such as this one, put *spoiler* at the start of the thread, or at your post's beginning, and go from there. Especially when most "spoilers" here deal with no spoilerific details."The Merowingian's character is not fully explored.""The battle of Zion is cool.""Smith and Neo fight like Dragonball Z."No real spoilers, because they don't deal with details, or important details. Nobody's gonna say "Hey, you just told me Smith will fly at the end - the movie's ruined!"Also, it's not a real spoiler to say "Zion is saved at the end.", as long as you don't go into detail how. Also, theories and interpretations, like the messianistic undercurrent or the relation between Smith and Neo, aren't spoilers as long as no detail from the movie is given away - they don't need spoiler tags. On the other hand, [spoiler]Trinity dying, Neo being absorbed by Smith, Neo being blinded, Smith absorbing the oracle[/spoiler]... these deserve spoiler tags. Please, please, use them discreetly - for the sake of my eyes and the last shred of sanity I retain. On topic:I liked the film. I liked they explained little, and left the end kind of hanging. The effects were superb. The film lacked a little of the emotional punch of a true classic, but it was a very fun film, and as far as fun action movies go, it was at the top of its game.8/10 to me; and I disliked Reloaded a lot. The Wachowskis still lack the ability to do really great last-minute-rescues. You have to let the viewers in on them, so they don't feel surprised when suddenly the rescue happens. Ex.: [spoiler]Trinity cutting the lights when Neo faces Bane; the kid being saved by a particle blast; Neo realizing he must let himself be absorbed[/spoiler]. On the other hand, the fight for Zion was so involving exactly because the audience knew [spoiler]the "Hammer" was coming to help them[/spoiler]. I really would have seen Seraph [spoiler]with wings[/spoiler], as hinted at by the Merowingian. All in all, a fulfilling finish to the series to me. Berandor</blockquote>
