electic102 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 The score continues to fall for Matrix Revolutions: "Louder, longer, more expensive and dumber than its predecessors, Revolutions is a mediocrity that will provide escapism only to those who head for the theater exits."

KeR Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Reloaded got 80% yet every single review there says that Revolutions is better then Reloaded.....still though the score is lower, makes no sense what so ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krux Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 ever notice that these reviews are never done by people of the same age group the movie is directed at? of course the movie seems over the top when your a 40-50 year old fart who knows nothing of what the young people like.

Morphie Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 The Movie is targeted at me, yet the second one sucks major ass. My biggest regret is that I didn't walk out in the first five minutes. The directors seem to have forgotten what makes a good movie. The soundtrack is the worst I have heard for a long time, and the score tops it in disgusting mediocraty. I was hoping maybe the 3rd one would be worth seeing just for the pure fun of watching things blowup, but now I am beginng to think it might not even be worth and IRC download. I will most likely wait until I hear reviews from people I trust more than critics, but with 45 reviewers, some of them actually know what makes a good movie, not all of them are mindless grandfathers laughing at the youth of today. My feeling is this idea will probably hold: The perfect ending would be 10 minutes of the Wachowhchowskis pointing at the audience and laughing. I know I heard their chuckles after the 2nd film: "I can't belive those people thought the bad CGI on the binary heart pump, and the Colonel Sanders God man were innovative. Lets see how they like or amazing AI battle crap in the next film. God I love money that is so easy to make." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oo420oo Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 My formula for reading reviews is as follows: Throw out the really good (fanboys) and really bad (haters) reviews; read the rest. Following this formula, I read about 20 reviews for Revolutions at Rotton Tomatoes. Based on that, I wont be paying to see this one, sorry. Save my money for Return of the King...

aem4162 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 **** what the critics say and go see the movie if ya want and enjoy it. Critics are almost useless anyway. "those who can, do; those who can't, review" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackDiesel2010 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 ...The directors seem to have forgotten what makes a good movie. The soundtrack is the worst I have heard for a long time, and the score tops it in disgusting mediocraty.... I hear ya man. the two main factors of a good movie are the soundtrack and score. Seriously, I read spoiler somewhere, and the ending is totally blown. You start thinking that there is plot room for a 4th sequel, but then you realize that it would do as well as Gigli. I HOPE TO GOD that the dvd will have an alternative MWAM ending or something. I've read better writing, regarding matrix trilogy endings/conclusions, in these very forums, by way of people making their prodictions. However, 99% of Matrix fans will choose to see the movie. The question isn't about choice. They've already made the choice. The question is why they made that choice. I guess I'll have to see it as well.

devBrian Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 You can't afford ten bucks to see a movie? It costs $10 just to see one now? No.. it's not worth seeing if it costs that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electic102 Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 I guess we will have to see. The movie costs about 8 bucks to see here which is not much so I think I will check it out. Call it good marketing I guess. If there was no hype I probably would not see this movie. My favorite movies this year, call it a surpirse, is the Italian Job. Great acting, well made, and truly fun. What a movie should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphie Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Actually the best movie so far: Lost in Translation. It is amazing, good music, good everything, AND it is a TREMENDOUS date movie. Kill Bill is decent, too much limb removal blood squirts, but RZA does a good job on the soundtrack as usual. I remember seing a few other good ones, I forget what they are, but Reloaded wasn't one of them, and I don't think TM:3 will be much of a Revolution. Perhaps I will toss the $9.50 so. Cal admission to give it a shot, if more than 3 friends tell me that is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Claude Van Damme Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 The complainers are always the loudest in a crowd of reviews. And Rotten Tomatoes is a blackhole full of complainers, so who gives a **** on what RT says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
