    May-Trix

    Just peeped the flick. It has nothing on the first. F u c k the critics! Even the fight scenes were too long and drawn out. They had a good thing going with the "reality ain't what you think" deal in the original. Now they went and got all "yin and yang in cyberspace" on us. The "Architect" looked like a cross between Col. Sanders and Donald Sutherland. He is the mind of our constructed reality and a character from the first one (won't say so as to not give it away) is the heart and conscience. Neither are real. Anyway, wack!!!

    I give it one boo and two yawns! A couple of the fight scenes were "ah-ight"; for example when Neo goes to holla' at the "Oracle". One good weapons scene, too. Sais, swords and everythang... Wait for the DVD!!!

    First, this thread is doomed cause we got one going on the Martial Media forum.

    Second, you can't judge this until you see the next one. After you see the next one, this one will be 10 times better. I guarantee it.

    The car chase was far superior to the weapons scene. Especially the deal with the twins.

    I thought it rocked.

    yeah, but how does it compare to Out of the Past (my current nominee for coolest movie ever)?

    Well, I'd say that Out of the Past lacks enough twins, center of the earth dance orgies, and orgasm cake. I can only give it half an agent Smith.

    There have been very few movies that have orgasm cake(three if i recall correctly), and therefore out of the past can not be faulted for this. Your other two points make sense.

    I give it one and a half confused Neo's.

    Good point, shaolin kungfu. However, orgasm cake is the movie trend to follow. I myself am working on a screenplay called "Orgasm Cake", which will do things with orgasm cake that previous writers failed to grasp. I intend to take orgasm cake to the next level of filmmaking. Mark my words.

    But it has murder by fishing rod! And sweaty rainy mexican hotel sex! And Bob Mitchum punching out his old partner! And the lines "Build my gallows high, baby." and "How much of a chump could you be? I was finding out."

    I pre-emptively give Matrix Reloaded One tenth of one percent of a Jane Greer.

    I am looking foreward to your movie, KC. Perhaps you will bring about a new era in film making, where no film has a lack of orgasm cake.

    CSN, in order to fairly review your favorite, I'm going to have to ask you to identify the brands of sunglasses used, and whether it fulfills the Warchowski Leather Quotient.

    Well, this was 1947, so the sunglasses are old-fashioned aviator types. Dunno the brand. As for leather, I don't think there's much of it, but I'll go to bat for <I>Out of the Past</i> being the prototype for all subsequent trenchcoat and fedora movies.

    Seriously, it's a great noir pic and everyone who can dig black and white should check it out.

    It was decent, but far inferior to the orignal. The chase scene was GREAT though. I thought him getting the spoon was cool too, even though I knew what it was before he opened it.

    My hope is that this was just like a filler movie and the last will be as good or better than the first.

    MK - that's a completely different kind of movie.
