The Matrix

Has anyone seen it yet? Me and about 15 other guys from my floor were hardcore and stood in line for 3 hours last night. We saw the 3:30 AM showing at the Cinerama in Seattle. It was awesome. I don't want to give anything away though. It's about 6:30 right now and I'm heading to bed.

Yeah I got to see a prelease of it last night. I wish I could blurt out some major revealing chunk of the movie and pi$$ everyone fof but it was too damn deep for me to grasp! Lots of 'why are we here' type storyline, it gets real deep, lots of cool Matrix style action, and finally a movie with no b.s. one liners or quirky humor bits. Anyone who liked the first one will definitely not be disappointed with Reloaded.

I saw it last night too, EPIC! The fight sequences were UN-BELEEEEEE-VABLE! I agree that the story started to get pretty heavy too, I'll probably hafta watch it again to catch more of it.

Is this one a lot deeper? The first one was cool but the idea of the world is really just a computer and you're being used by robots just really didn't blow me away that much. It was FREAKING cool that they did it in a movie and everything about the movie was FREAKING cool. But I think that so many people had to see it over and over to get the story is more due to the fact that America doesn't read books anymore. (psssttttt....here's the secret all you non book readers: There's actually stuff way deeper and cooler than in movies like the Matrix...... but you have to take the red pill to find it.)

I wouldn't say it's a lot deeper, but they try to throw you for a loop with twists & things like that.

I actually saw it last week and have been dying to talk about it, but I cant ruin it for people. Books, schmooks Neutral

I like how they explored the world of the matrix more, flushing out it' inhabitants. The idea of "chice" was kool.
I had to watch the first one a bunch of times to see how tight the script really was. Probably have to do the same with this.

Well that does it, lets start a post called "Matrix Reloaded- DONT READ IF YOU HAVEN"T SEEN IT" and we will talk about some stuff. Someone else start the post Wink

- I don't want to be responsible for pissing off the ones that haven't seen it but HAVE to read the post so it spoils the movie for them.

The 'choice' part is really cool, thats why my brain started digging, I had to shake off my bourbon buzz to follow what he was saying.

Yeah, that whole Zion thing was so unnecessary. It basically turned into a really big nightclub which I thought made NO sense. Like I guess when humanity's oppressed it becomes primal? What?

well it made a good random sex scene come in too the works jester but i think the ending totally sucked--i don't wanna wait until november to figure out what the hell was goin on Sad

Zach M, exactly what I thought.

Just came back from the movie... DAMN GOOD... I agree about the club scene though - it totally could have done without that. The ending was a bit hard to follow... I think to fully understand the jist of it I'll have to see it again. The fight scenes were definitely sick though...

OMG....i was getting lunch today & i walked by the tv my sister was watching. it was on nickelodeon & i kid u not....there was a horrible commercial on. just imagine this.....

2 kids on a couch watching spongebob (bro & sis) and all of the sudden they break into this kung fu-bullet time crap fighting over the remote & it ends like when Neo & Agent Smith r in the subway shooting at each other (they collide in midair & fall to the ground) then they sit back down & spot 1 last cookie and start the kung fu-bullet time again....then it cuts a white screen with a circle that has NICK in it....then then theres a saying that says What You Want....& its in the matrix font Shocked

i think theres a saying that comes to mind....super hella weak. andy & larry have sold out hardcore...omg. i could see past those retarded beer commercials....but not this, even those beer commercials were pushing it, i preferred to turn away from those & just ignore them, but theyve crossed the line. i didnt think id ever see a sell out as big as limp bizkit, but this quite possibly may be bigger....next thing well see is Neo & Agent toys in happy meals from mcdonalds. Evil or Very Mad

wtf are u bitching about, try using some sentences with actual english grammar. then maybe we can figure out why we need to kick ur ass.

u want some english?? heres hows this??

andy & larry wachowski have sold out by making all these stupid @ss commercials based off the matrix....and now theres a commercial on nickelodeon involving matrix stunts & the font they use for the movie titles.

is that clear enough 4 u or do i need to recommend hooked on phonics?? dont get me wrong...the movies r still fine, i still like them...but ive basically lost faith in the wachowski brothers....theyve gone way 2 mainstream....
