Meh, it's entertaining. The concept was cool enough, even though its execution is pretty mediocre and filled with plot holes. The gunkata is ridiculous, but it's an excuse to have Preston have the most on-screen kills of any movie EVER. That makes it awesome in my book.

I can't apologize for revealing the truth, fellas.  The Matrix is awful and will be so dated in a few years as to be completely laughable.

Sorry, PeeDee.  In your heart, you know it to be true.

The Thirteenth Floor is also better than The Matrix.  And eXistenZ is better than all of those flicks combined.

Explain this theory kind sir

Which one?  That The Matrix is awful, that it's going to be really, really dated in a few years, or that eXistenZ tops it in every possible way?  You must understand that my comments regarding Equilibrium and The Thirteenth Floor are not meant to argue that either of them are good movies (though I found them entertaining), but are meant to indicate just how bad I think The Matrix is.
Title: Re: Does ANYONE here feel this is a good movie?

Actually eXistenZ owns. I'll agree with that one.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on July 31, 2007, 01:54:51 AM
eXistenZ is a better and more interesting commentary on the nature of virtuality, but the matrix is more fun to watch as a semi-original action flick. eXistenZ has FLESHPODS; the matrix has hugo weaving. i'm gonna call it even.
Title: Re: Does ANYONE here feel this is a good movie?
Post by: CajoleJuice on July 31, 2007, 01:55:52 AM
I barely remember eXistenZ.

Dark City was a good movie until that godawful final battle scene.

eXistenZ has guns made out of the bones and organs of mutant animals. :hyper

The Matrix has techno music and that old-looking chick making out with Ted Theodore Logan of Wild Stallynz.

Thirteenth Floor was crap.
Ill never watch a show that spells existence with a z.

Post by: MrAngryFace on July 31, 2007, 11:18:15 AM
I really watch it this way:

Matrix
Matrix Reloaded (starting at the basketball court/skip everything before)
Matrix Revolution

I actually liked Revolution for some odd reason. I mean all three are at their core 'good' movies. Matrix being the best of them, obviously, but despite what a lot of people seem to think about the birth of the sequels, I think they tie together nicely. There's a bunch of great documentries that come with the ultimate collection that go over a lot of the process and story, and I think that helped me appreciate Revolutions.

I mean I like LOTR and all, but there are far more boring parts to those movies than the Matrix Trilogy, which is why 9 times out of 10 id rather watch the Matrix Trilogy.
Title: Re: Does ANYONE here feel this is a good movie?
Post by: Solo on July 31, 2007, 11:19:51 AM
9 times out of 10 Id watch neither. Id go with the Dollars trilogy or the Indy trilogy or something else instead.

Well, I was viewing the movie with all the refined tastes of a five year old.  I am sure it doesn't hold up well.  NO TIME FOR LOVE, DR JONES!

Robin Hood - EW.  I was 12 for that one.  Way too cool.

That's easily the worst part of the movie.

And I hated all The Matrix movies.  I saw the first one twice, the second time only because my friends insisted they wanted to go see it again, and I walked out of the second screening about ten minutes before the movie ended.  I've never even seen Revolutions and doubt I ever will.

The Matrix has techno music and that old-looking chick making out with Ted Theodore Logan of Wild Stallynz.
There are many flaws to the entire Matrix series, Carrie Ann Moss' looks ain't one of them.
Seriously dude, what's up?

and yeah, I liked Equilibrium.  Christian Bale can pretty much sell any role he's given, he's got more range then your average ICBM.
The gunkata is ridiculous, but it's an excuse to have Preston have the most on-screen kills of any movie EVER. That makes it awesome in my book.
I would have thought Matrix or Inspector Tequilla took that prize.  And if we're counting series, Jason Voorhees wins easily.

i cannot even begin to fathom how one could argue that temple of doom is better than the first matrix movie. you can prefer temple of doom, of course, because you wear a football helmet in public, but to champion it over the matrix as a better example of movie making? fuck you, you shouldn't be allowed in a theatre. the matrix is a very polished and well-conceived action movie, regardless of how many nerds irked you with their fanatical interpretations and fanfic. temple of doom is poorly-paced, poorly-written, poorly-acted shit bookended only by some great set-piece action sequences. it is fucking awful on almost every level save some of the shots, and even then, it's not enough to keep it from the toilet of action cinema. it is an uwe boll grade joke of a movie, suitable only to watch drunk and for mockery's sake.

No.  The Matrix is stupid.  Temple of Doom is fun and features monkey brains, still-beating hearts being pulled out of people's chests, and MINE CARTS.
