The final fight between Neo and Smith is the kind of thing I’d love to see in a Superman movie. Oh and the bit in Reloaded where Neo sweeps in at the last minute and saves the Keymaker and Morpheous – now that’s some Superman action!!!

Personally, I wouldn’t mind the Wachowski’s. Let’s face it, you can’t get much worse than Bryan Singer’s (or BS if you like…heh heh) adaptation.

Yah, apparently the makers of Matrix did too…

GK, I LOVE the first Matrix, and I really enjoy the second movie as well.

The third one though, wasn’t deep or special or well-written. It was phony and pretended to be those things just to live up to what the first one did naturally.

That scene was so forced, unnatural and it didn’t fit at all. It’s just one of the many things that movie did wrong

But, I’m glad you enjoyed it – You’re allowed to

Sorry Dude!!

Me like matrix movies me tink dey are good..me watch lots…LOL!!

@ Rob

***SIGH***

“The conversation between Neo and the Zion leader guy basically involved them pretending to reference big philosophical ideas just by naming them and then asking for critical praise by saying “look how deep and thoughtful this is”

I’m sorry but that was the entire point of the films and it was beautifully encapsulated in these scenes between NEO and Councilor Hamann..THe point that Hamann was trying to make was how humans need machines and machines depend on humans..instead of existing mutualistically and reaping the benefits of such a relationship they freely choose to go to war with one another for the sake of self-preservation ..it’s a great comment on the reality of war and a great philosophical moment..Machines enslave humans and humans enslave machines both thinking they are “right” in the choices they have made to ensure they survive..

The movie trilogy itself fashioned an entire mythology that mirrors the spiritual journey of the ascendant..
Literally every character name, place name, hovercraft name & symbols from the movies reference Greek, Norse, Roman mythology, Hebrew theology, CHristian theology, & Zen Buddhism. Neo’s journies and struggles to save Zion and it’s inhabitants is a symbol of our quest from delusion to truth, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality..

So to quote you again “look how deep and thoughtful this is” it really is…take another look Dude!!

“There is no spoon” Rob so take a pill (preferably a Red Pill) and get down on the MAtrix!!

Cheers

I didn’t like ‘Returns’ on many levels….but I would rather have Singer back then the Wachowskis.

Speilberg would be a great choice. We would be able to bet that the story would at least feel grounded in the real world.

They pretended to be and the dialogue was so awful because of it.

The conversation between Neo and the Zion leader guy basically involved them pretending to reference big philosophical ideas just by naming them and then asking for critical praise by saying “look how deep and thoughtful this is”

It came off so badly.

The first Matrix is the only true great film out of the trilogy.

Man, oh man!!! Syllable- pah-loozahhhh!
This is not a dig, my man!
I am completely floored by your post, which included the following:
pretentious
unfathomable
encapsulated
philosophical
eschatology
dissimulation
meticulously
ineffable
acumen
transcendent
cynicism
I can’t thank you enough! I’m going to use that post as a sobriety test from now on!
Abso-freakin’-lootly Spleniforous!

I really don’t have a good feeling about the wach bros taking on Superman tho. I actually liked parts/aspects of Returns and I like Singer as a director. As far as action goes, the seen where Supes saves the shuttle/jet was one of the best comic movie action scenes ever – I don’t care if I get bombarded for saying that.
