Ok I saw revolutions today, I'd been busy and hadn't gotten a chance to see it yet because originally I had intended to see it on the opening night. I had seen reloaded on the opening night. In preparation for revolutions I rented and watched reloaded last night.
I enjoyed the movie, although I wasn't blown away by it. My first though walking out of the theater was they packed quite a bit into the movie. It was a good action movie, and good but not great.
Things I liked:
*The Mervoginian(sp?), he is one of the best characters of the entire movie, and I wished that he'd had more screen time with more of his background filled in. This was maybe my favorite part of the entire movie, especially when he asked for the oracle's eyes. What a great request!
Some questions: Did all of Merv's best programs get killed in reloaded? Were the twins really dead? they looked liked they might have made out out of the freeway explosion alive. Did Merv and Persephone(sp?) make it into the newest version of the matrix? How did Merv meet the train man, and what was he doing exactly?
*Agent Smith
he kicked ass...I just hate it had to end like that
his scene with the oracle was great!
*the guy who played the human version of smith...he did an awsome smith impersonation!
also the fight between him and neo was great
*the sentinals chasing the ship niobe was piloting, good scene there
*the machine city, and the sky above the clouds, i just noticed the sky isn't just blacked out, it's basically like an emp layer covering the earth
*i actually kinda liked trinity's death speech
*commander locke
he was just cool
ok things that i wasn't so hot about
*the sentinals battle scene, i don't think it could have been done better on film but it was unsatisfying
*a lack of a major adrenaline rush...no storming the military building like in the first movie, and no freeway scene like in the second one...the sentinal assault just wasn't as cool
*the dialouge was bad at times, not horrible but could have been tightened up
to reiterate a few other negatives i agree with
*the kid was a waste of time, not really fleshed out, and fairly annoying...the extra drama he added could have been spent on other things (like fleshing out niobe and morpheous {damn why are all of the names fairly hard to spell)...he shouldn't have been in either movie
*link's wife running around being a sentinal killer was overdone as well
*i wasn't truly fond of them changing the oracle, but oh well
*the child program wasn't as developed (plotwise) as it should have been
*the death speech for the kid was overblown
*too many people going on faith, yea it's the whole point of the movie, but maybe they indulged themselves a little too much
*everything was slightly too much deus ex machina
all in all reloaded and revolutions were good, not as ground breaking or as lean and mean storywise as the first, but good. What impressed me the most...
*each movie added more to the background world, it felt much larger than what we saw in the movie
*even being basically all powerful, neo didn't break the movie...this was my biggest worry between the matrix and the matrix reloaded, i thought it would be boring because neo could basically kick everyone's ass. Moving much of the last two movies out of the matrix, then making it impossible for one person to do it all really got around a major drama handicap
*good production values, the last two weren't as good as the first, but all were good action flicks
