what exactly is it the guys that think it was too fake found to be fake?



any scenes that occur while in the actual matrix can realistically be completely fake and defy laws of physics as we understand them...



unless you just felt the CGI was of poor quality and looked obviously rendered... that i could understand, and would bitch about too.



havent seen it yet, looking forward to checking it out however.

It is a movie that needs to be scene more than once in order to

understand it. With more understanding comes more appreciation

as it was with the first one.



I give it 2 stars. I didn't buy the romance between Neo and Trinity.

The dance scene was just stupid, they are all on the verge of death

and they're dancing. Morpheus's speech was corny. The fight scenes

were amazing and I respect the fact that they had to do a lot of

training on the part of the actors to get them done. Some parts did

look fake though and the Kung Fu gets old, many of the moves look

the same and redundant.



The part with colonel sanders the "architect" was overdone. Any who

says they clearly understood everything he said is full of ****.

The Wachowski brothers get to ambigious in making the story intricate

it ruins it and loses track of focusing on the storyline. To many

philosophical parts. The story gets mushed together.



Maybe I'll change my mind after I watch it more, but...



It was no empire strikes back...

The CGI was poorly done. The fight scene with the agents was just stupid. He picked up a pole in the ground and start playing baseball with them. While the agents were in the air their bodies looked fake!



While they were fighting on the 18wheeler going about 60 MPH....How come neos hair wasn't blowing?



I also agree with the ducati not being able to outrun an Escalade. The chace scene pretty much was a commercial. They made sure you could catch the caddilac emblem on the cars and the ducati logo on the bike. I could be wrong with this one but when the CTS was in the garage it looked like Trinity was shifting gears. but when you saw the console it was an Automatic.



Sex scene was gay, Showing images in coding was gay, and the ending was gay.



I probably will see it again but I am afraid I might start catching more things I didn't like But I am extremely picky with movies. Nobody likes to go with me because I look for the smallest details

I just really didn't want to see Keanu Reeve's ***.... trinity's *** would have been nice though.



Also the CGI didn't look real whenever he was running on the Smith's heads...I saw more realistic stuff in shrek.



I think they took it a little too far with the "Bullet Time"



The whole time they were in Zion...the movie sucked.



The ending pissed me off...but the previews of the next one were badass lookin'.





SPOILER!!!!!

VVVVVVVVV

BTW I pretty much did understand what the architect said:



Since the beginning of the matrix Neo (or whoever was the one aka his predesessors) had already visited him 5 times and Neo (current) was the 6th. The people who came before him chose the "save the world, rebuild zion" door, and were a little bit more nervous than Neo (current) was. BUT Neo chose the "save trinity and the end of the world door". Kind of like in the first one where the oracle told him he wasn't the one...and ended up being the one... which means he is going to save to world, because he's making it up himself without the systems guidance.

Also those weren't his thoughts in the screens....those were other responses he could have given. Something like in that movie "The One" where the lives were the same but just different choices made. Those responses were his different choices. There was a show on sci-fi that came on alot and my step dad watched it that was the same...thinking... oh yea "Sliders".

I think that's it.

that movie was boring and weak. it sux for the Workowscki (sp) brothers because their effects have been bitten so much, that the new version had no WOW! factor. with the exception of the pale dudes with the mop heads and the ducati chase, the movie was exactly what i thought it would be. BORING, and lawrence fishbone is WAAAAAAYYYYYY to up on himself. oh well, they had to have a shitty one tha tset up for the last one that would be bad ***...........hope that the 3rd one is better....



cant wait for T3 and bad boys II......

Hadn't thought of that yet Lanny, nice.



Yea I can't wait for T3 too. (I'm a huge fan!)

We'll see how T3 goes without Cameron at the

helm.



Whats killing me is how Neo stopped sentinels?

This is what I think.

1. He's somehow connected to the machines now

after getting to the architect.

2. A matrix within a matrix.

That's a pretty common opinion after that scene...it makes sense. It could also mean that humans are capable of manipulating the "real" world the way that Neo is capable of manipulating the Matrix, or it could have to do with the premature EMP they mentioned later in the movie.

Yeah that was brought up in the conversation after the movie. I think the directors got in way over their head and they started a revolution that they can't control. You can tell that it wasn't supposed to be a trilogy to begin with. I have a feeling that however this thing ends it will be something that nobody expected. Maybe the humans will lose and that will be the end of the matrix. But I doubt it seeing as how production companies love to squeeze every penny out of movies of this nature

If it is a matrix within a matrix. Something that the Wachowski's

would probably do.



Wonder what the real world looks like then outside of the matrix

within a matrix...???
