amandanism 0 Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 just returned from seeing it. the overall effect is still sinking in really. it doesnt beat the first one, and there is alot more action and special effects if thats your thing. Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 More special effects and action - excellent! It came out here last Thursday. I might try and see it on Monday. Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 i have concluded that most of the apparent "story line" is brought into low relief and undermined by the action and fighting scenes (most of which are just more expensive and extravagant versions of the first matrix) there isnt as much as a coherent story line or sense of journey as the first. also, the movie really doesnt stand on its own. if you havent seen the first, it will probably take you a while (if at all) to figure out what is going on.

amandanism 0 Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 imho xmen 2 is far superior to the new matrix. Link to post Share on other sites
LARD 0 Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Why that? The first xmen didn't really appeal to me that much Link to post Share on other sites
MistaSparkle 0 Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Been getting not-so-hot reviews from buddies in the states.... "overhyped," "embarassing attempts at philosophy," "slow beginning, but the last 40 minutes are cool," "good action, weak story" Still looks cool to me, so i'll go see it with lowered expectations and enjoy it more.

akibun 0 Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I want to go see it soon Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Disappointing to hear those reports MrSparkle. Anyways, gonna go and see it. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Saw it this arvo. I wish i'd watched the first one again before i saw the new one. I'd completely forgotten the storyline. It's a good flick, but not quite as good as i would have hoped. There are some great scenes in it and some neat special effects but some of the fight scenes were a bit repetitive. The $64 million highway scene is great! Link to post Share on other sites
night-mare 0 Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 And so it should be!! Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Saw it on first cheap tuesday after it opened. There were only 10 people in the audience. It was really good though. I went in having heard all the bad reviews so it lowered my standards a bit but I really liked it. I would watch it again. Link to post Share on other sites
RamenTaro 0 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Only 10 people there....why was that then?? I thought it was the huge blockbuster with qs round the corner... Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I would have liked to have seen more of those blonde twin guys. Those guys were cool and it looked sweet when they did that see through trick! Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 You like blond swedish looking guys eh. I personally prefurred Trinity in her leather outfits and Will Smiths wife (not sure of her name) who is also very hot. I also was amaized that only 10 people in the audience. I bought tickets early and showed up like half an hour before to get good seats. It was the 5PM show though so people were still getting home from jobs and whatnot. Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 I thought Trinity looked like Snuffy Smith... Link to post Share on other sites
