matrix revolutions

[dabruce16]

yeah, i know. thats what i think happened with the matrix. the original was great. sequel - not so great. third one - ok. so the fourth could only mean a shitty film.

Actually the way Hollywood saw it...First one money!..second one lovers of the first one would want to see it... more money! Third one well shit you saw the second one, can it get worse they will have to see it besides the ending of the second one just dropped off encouraging veiwers to rush to the movies for the third one..so once again MONEY! Any way you look at it they got people hooked on the first one and knew any type of sequal would bring money..and they definatly got it.

I know i'm gonna get crucified by many a matrix fan, for saying this, but here goes...coming from a true matrix fan also.

Matrix 1 rocked, rocked, then rocked some more, was one of the best action movies, and did some very cool, revolutionary things.

Reloaded was, in my opinion, just a cash-in, had BETTER hand-to-hand fight scenes, but lacked the overall darkness of the first film, and all the mystical type confusing bullshit was just the w.bros trying to actually expand upon an already successfull idea, and not knowing quiet how....also... nobody likes a cliffhanger, well, I don't anyway.

Revolutions didn't stand out much at all for me.... I mean, the upside-down fighting...that was just lame, and proved they'd done all the could do in INTERESTING intricate fight scenes. The Mech vs robot fight was visually great, I'll give it that, the final neo vs smith fight, I need to say this, I just thought was stupid...I mean, I know Dragonball Z's pretty popular, but I think they tried to ride the wrong wave there...the film did however bring a satisfactory resolution to the trilogy..

I still maintain that The Matrix did not need ANY sequels though, and that it's all been downhill from when the credits rolled the first time. Matrix 1 forever...
