all that epic bullsmurf they shoved down my throat lead to nothing!!!!
I cant believe that smurf. Honestly with the architect and the oracle... smurf both of them. It out every main character seem totally insignificant. and I dont care if thats what the point was.
Plus this one proved how much Neo and Trinity were played by people who cant act their way out of a box.

I hope you never actually thought that the people who played Neo and Trinity were good actors.

Re: the matrix really sucks
This is why I didn't waste my time or money with going to the theater to see any of the Matrix movies after the first one. I knew that it was nothing but a shallow effects extravaganza thinly disguised as some sort of meaningful epic with supposed brilliant acting.
The Matrix movies are just stylish showcases for cool CG effects and fight sequences ripped off from the Blade movies and Jet Li's and Chow Yun Fat's movies.
All hail Xenu!

What, you were expecting resolution of their sophomoric "philosophy" crap?

Re: the matrix really sucks
Because Blade I and II plus everything Jet Li's been in are really quality cinema. 
If anything was ripped off, it was Dragonball Z, but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie until the ending when me and everyone I was with just sat there in a bit of a daze.

Never said they were, but those movies (and a lot of Asian cinema), set the standard from which the Matrix was derived.

Re: the matrix really sucks
...with supposed brilliant acting.
I have never heard a single person accuse any of the Matrix movies of having "brilliant acting". I went into the second one, and will go into the third one, expecting acting and story line that aren't as good as the first. Just because a movie doesn't have the best of acting or story line doesn't mean it is not a good movie and not a movie worth seeing. I for one am very entertained by *really* good special effects, which is what the Matrix has. If the new one is at least as good as the second, I will feel as though I got my money's worth.

Hugo Weaving's acting makes up for every one else's deficit.

Or at least together we'll call it a night.

I loved the part where he busted out laughing! That scene alone made it worth it... and I saw it on an IMAX!

That lucky bastard. Anyways, I saw it and enjoyed it quite well. I don't get why people are sooo pissed at it. Everyone knows that most sequels are never as good as the original, but I liked all 3 of them. But people PLEASE it's just a washing movie!

I find it funny that people are forming opinions on movies they have never seen... I know that's who I like to have tell me about movies and if they suck or not.
