I just can't believe it's finally over. 
As you all trickle back in from seeing it, let me know what one thing you liked most about Revolutions and the one thing you disliked most.
I'm seeing it on an IMAX screen this weekend, which will be my first time seeing a theatrical release-type movie on the big BIG screen. Should be fun! |

Just a reminder, spoilers are not necessary in the Official Discussion Thread since this film has opened and anyone reading this thread who hasn't seen the film, does so at their own risk, when it comes to their eventual viewing experience.

One of the things you notice immediately is the feeling of suspense that you get in the original that is really lacking in the sequel.
|
There is an utter truckload of reasons why the original was exponentially better than the sequel. As the backtracking has already begun, I can see that Revolutions will put the final nail in Reloaded's coffin. All that philosophical love-festing heaped on Reloaded as the reason for why "unintelligent people" hated it so much, will get trampled on as the W Bros throw it out the window in Revolutions.
Forget that smart stuff fellas - I know Kung Fu.
Matrix Reloaded isn\'t deep at all. It\'s a simple, rehashed concept dressed up in fancy words and designer outfits...
Real World: \"I\'m hungry as hell, so I\'m going to run my ass down to Micky D\'s to get me a burger and fries.\"
Matrix 2: \"I need sustenance, ergo, move I shall expeditiously to aquire a bovine delicacy and browned slices of potato from the franchised proprietor, Ronald Mac Donald.\"
...see?

I don't understand why a lot of people thought that Revolutions would be of different quality than Reloaded, they were filmed at the same time, right? Of course, I haven't seen it yet, I'll wait until the weekend, so maybe I'll like the final installment. My expectations are definitely lower this time around.

I'm going Kin-yobi, but I can't wait. Everyone has bashed the movie in the reviews, but they all expected the Holy Grail of movies. I loved Reloaded because of the action, I'm sure I'll love Revolutions just the same.

Dudes, This movie flat out ROCKS!
ignore the naysayers and the bashers-they smell blood in the air and like a pack of cowardly Jackels they're ready to pile on- but just like the last time, they will be exposed as the clueless philistines they are.
the joys of this film are plenty and rich
the spfx here are un-freaking-believable- beautiful, stupefying...like the coolest videogame you ever watched someone else play, there are images here that will loop in your head until your back in diapers
-remember the Kiss? the payoff to that is worth the price of admission alone
-remember the talk about the rouge programs? the ghosts were just the tip of the iceberg, folks-fasten your seatbelts.
-remember the spoon?
yeah you just bought the dvd a couple weeks ago and you've already watched it 2 or 3 times, but you know what- as soon as this movie is over how many of you are going to run home and pour over it again as the green hue from the display illuminates your face and you suddenly realize..."of course! why didn't i see that before" over and over...
as with the clarity of daylight, Reloaded becomes a whole new film...
AMAZING!
this will go down as the greatest sci-fi end-piece since Return Of The Jedi- absolutely no doubt about it.
in fact, i think the two films will be uttered in the same breath by many many fans...IT'S THAT GOOD!

When was the last time that a film was universally slammed like this?
|
Gigli
But I have seen good reviews of Revolutions, so it's not universally slammed.

Paul, don't hold back, did you like the film or not?! 
Good to hear a positive review. |

Isn't another good Sci-Fi End-piece? I can't think of any. ROTJ is the best?
Bryant Trew: It's REHASHED. if it's your signature, make sure it's spelled correctly.
and the review at http://www.filmthreat.com/Reviews.asp?Id=5134 looks like it's 3 1/2 stars out of four, or Fantastic.

It's killing me to not be at the theater right now. Especially since I skipped ahead to here, skipping the current discussion. I'll have to dump the internet message boards today at 11:30 AM (EST) just to avoid anything else. It's going to be a long day!
I had one last button to click on Fandango about 3 times this morning, keys in hand at work. But I don't want to see it alone (at least the first time). I also have work to do.
So here I'll sit, in my cube, until about 4:00 PM today, at which point I'll make a mad dash to the theater to await my turn.
I saw Reloaded, AOTC, FOTR and TTT as soon as humanly possible. Waiting on Revolutions is VERY tough.
This is my cool little bowout until I see the show. Then I'll come running in here to babble (although by then, many will be DONE ).
I predict page 8 by my next post.
Still can't wait...and harder knowing it's there...waiting.
Take care,
Chuck |

Some Of The People None Of The Time
All bashers should share their version of the film for review.
Pooping on this work is useless without an alternate story.
