*No spoilers*
Actually there is nothing to spoil. The "Matrix: Reloaded" was terrible. The movie's story was only about 15 minutes. The rest of the time was fighting, car chasing, and special effects. Watching it was like being forced to watch my little brother play stupid fighting and car racing video games for hours. At least the first movie had a plot and there were things to figure out. This one was all about the movie makers showing off there new special effects. Don't waste your time or money at the theater. Wait until you can rent it and fast forward through most of it.
*SPOILERS*
Everybody dies six times. Not really, but that would have been better.

Actually, I'm going to see the Matrix: Reloaded in an hour. Now that I think about it, I'm looking more forward to Bruce Almighty.

After hearing about the "awesome action" of the Matrix, I finally saw it four years later (that would be two days ago). I witnessed an hour and a half of kickin' plot and ten minutes of guard shooting. Now, this disappointed me. I expected an hour and a half of kickin' action and ten minutes of plot.
Flash forward to yesterday (that would be one day later). I watched Matrix Reloaded and witnessed an hour and a half of kickin' action and ten minutes of plot. Needless to say, it was like wiping my @ss with silk!

Hahahaha! That line was funny from the movie. ...Although, please mind the profanity.
Man, that movie was INTENSE! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. And the car chase scene--Wow!
The first 15-30 minutes or so were a little slow, but afterwards the plot (and action) picked up. Man, that movie was great! Especially at the climax! Hoo!
IMO, they really should've taken out that..."intimate" scene and the mosh pit-like dancing (alternately switch b/w the two at the same time). That seemed pointless to the story and too much I didn't need (or want) to see. Other than that, it was excellent. Now I need to rewatch the first movie!

Dudes! Matrix Reloaded was amazing! Who cares if it was nothing but fighting...it was still amazing! Loved the movie and I can't wait until I can see it again! :)

LOLA PRUE!!! Welcome back, Where have you been?! Its good to see you here at the forums again! And as all of you know:
It‘s-a me, Marionut#1!

"Who cares if it was nothing but fighting..."
People like me, apparently. I don't waste money on stuff like that.
X2 was awesome. And, if I may be so bold, it's better than any Matrix movie could be.
Seriously. From an action standpoint, Matrix may be great. But I have the same views on movies as I do on games. If there's no substance, there's no point in exposing myself to it.
Does The Matrix Reloaded have any of the stuff that matters, like X2 does?
Love, hate, joy, sorrow, allegiance, betrayal, faith, despair, hope, and a message that really counts, not to mention incredibly deep characters?

Hmm...not as much. But my story does! ^_^
Heheh...Sorry, I couldn't resist putting that.

Ha.

I wanna see finding nemo(I don't wanna hear any antidisney remarks either) and star wars episode three(if it ever comes out).
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.
-
Actually, although I'm not much of a Disney fan anymore, "Finding Nemo" *does* look funny.
*Two seagulls float in the water. A bubble comes up from behind one of them. The second sees it, "Nice."*
Heheh...I was ROTFL on that one. The PIXAR produced movies ARE funny, IMO.
Star Wars: Ep. 3 will come out. According to the pattern, I'd bet around May 2005.

I almost forgot to say, "The best think about seeing The Matrix: Reloaded was the T3 trailer."
I prefered The (first) Matrix over the first X-Men. I mean come on, the guys eyes can burn through steel, but not his eyelids. The original Matrix as I have said had a cool story and let you figure thinks out. Anyway, I havn'e seen X-Men II so as someone said it may be better.
I just rewatch Armageddon and had forgotten how scientifically stupid it was. One of my favorite movies was Apollo 13. At least they got almost all of the science right.
Although I didn't like having so much fighting in The Matrix Reloaded, don't get me wrong, I do like some movies that have a lot of fighting and violence in them. Fight Club is one of the all time best movies. Maybe the fight scenes weren't as amazing as The Matrix Reloaded, but it had a great story, and it deserved the R rating. The Matrix Reloaded got an R rating because they wanted it to look more mature. And you know how I feel about the maturity of most people who play "mature" rated video games, but not other "nonmature" games like the Mario games.
Also, I am not hung up on specific actors or characters. I mean I am a huge Mario fan, but the movie sucked. The cartoons were way better.

I know. Really. One of the things I absolutely hate is when they add one scene or one profane word to make the rating of a movie go up. I will never understand why people think a higher rating or "more mature" = better.
Oh, and lol, Marionut. :)

Oh, there was looooooooove alright, Chupperson ;) It just didn't appeal to Sapphira very much ;) ;)
Welcome again Lola, stick around and resurrect "Marching Band" or something will ya?
Luigison! Cyclops has mutated überstrong eyelids of course!
Chupperson Weird, I have read rant after rant by you about how cool the X-Men are today and have come to the conclusion that you are just a raving X-Men fanboy that must defend the X-Men at all costs. Like they can't defend themselves. Your only mutant power is to post an ungodly amount of times. I like X-Men. (That was the surprise ending.)
Marionut#1... You are a nut... Does your "GF" read all these posts or something? If so, I feel sorry for her! Wait, if she's going out with you then I already feel sorry for her!!!!! :P :P :P ;) ;) :) :(?

None taken, but then again, nothing was jokingly directed at me. lol. I actually thought your post was quite funny! ^_^
(As he said, no offense intended to ya guys. :P)

Aw! I didn't know I was missed so much! I would be happy to talk about marching band all the live long day..and, might I add... you are "talking" to a State Champion of the 2003 Winter Guard Season for MCCGA. :) Sorry...basking...anyway...
I enjoy fighting movies! James Bond...probably my top action type movies. Finding Nemo looks so good and funny that I really want to see that movie as well! Also Bruce Almighty. Looks amazing!
Awsome awsome!
:)
-
Bruce Almighty... I'm not even going to comment on the utter stupidity that that movie is.
Okay, first off, I'm certainly not an X-Men fanboy. I simply enjoy the X-Men movies way more than most other movies today. Fantastic Four is my all-time favorite comic book, and I don't like the X-Men anywhere near as much as I like the FF, but it does seem that my X-Men fandom is growing.
I wouldn't call my posts about them rants, but then, they may well be rants. Anyway, I simply feel that these movies are actually accomplishing something, unlike the majority of movies today, which are utter trash.
Also, Luigison, Mutants have natural defenses against their own powers, duh. Cyclops is immune to his own optic blasts. Same as Iceman is immune to ice/freezing, Pyro is immune to fire, etc.
-
I know they weren't rants. I was just satirically portraying how many of them I saw that day.
And like I said, überstrong eyelids!
“I’m a stupid fatty and I love to play with my Easy Bake oven!â€
-
Heh. Yeah.
Another thought occurred to me just now - I don't really see those posts as in defense of the X-Men; rather, I see them as a device to criticize the mass majority of stuff seemingly like those movies. But they're different.
-
Really the only reason I put that was to be comical.. I like to make my readers laugh. Besides, my GF knows how faithful I am to her and has nothing to worry about...At least Im alot more original then yelling out "Mama Mia" when noticing the piano bench is missing... NOTE the last comment was an attempt to make people laugh and not to hurt Lizard Dudes feelings or disturb him further, just like you would "Roast" your friends.
It‘s-a me, Marionut#1!

WHAT THE? Hey, give me a stinkin' break. What would you do if the piano bench was missing? Stand around with drool hanging off your lip? *I* thought it was good...
Thanks for reminding me to get that in, though.
