I disagree... halfway through the movie, I turned to the friend I saw it with and commented on his acting and she agreed that he was actually doing it on some level, which is unusual for Reeves.
That's pure opinion... again my friend and I thought the dialogue was rather interesting.
Seriously, what kinds of movies do you watch that make this acceptable dialog?
Correct, everyone IS 25 years old. This passage totally proves that you did NOT "get it" or pay attention at all. Do you remember the stuff that was said by the Architect about the One system?
Well, there were a couple old people, (even if it the numbers were appallingly low), so that's either sloppy writing or sloppy typecasting. I don't think it was done in an effort to fit with what the "Architect" was rambling on about. Regardless, the larger point I was trying to make was not simply about age, but also about the type of people present. An abundance of supermodels and makeup within a city in survival mode? This is a problem with just about every Hollywood movie, but in this instance it was particularly visible and annoying.
I thought Fishburne's speech was good... again, another instance where I turned to my friend, commented, and got an agreement.
Yikes....
Cheap way to get a "top 10" out of 9 points.
It wasn't going to be a top 10 list until I got down to number 9 and realized it could be, (I was originally started numbering at 1, then reversed order once I got the 10). Nevertheless, if you want more I think what Bambers pointed out, namely:
1.
basically the CG was really bad. The 100 agent smiths scene was one of the worst, everyone just looked like they were made from plastic and rubber.
2.
the action scenes were also bad because of the excessive and completely in the wrong places slowmo, its like they just had some kid sitting on the editing pc playing with the video editing options.
3.
and there was always the thing that basically neo is invunerable and even on the freeway sequence he was bound to be there to save them in the end.
...were a pretty good start.
I also thought that the music in many places was a complete mismatch for the type of action occuring. My memory is desperatly trying to erase the damage done by this film, so I cannot describe with certainty what the misplaced music was, but I do remember that in the 100 smiths scene and I think the one with the Albino dreadlocked guys I said to myself "What moron here was placed in charge of syncing the music?"
I was also kind of upset that it took revenue away from a really good movie, (the already mentioned "X2"), and that for some incomprehendable reason droves of people are out there defending this pile of garbage against any possible criticism people may have. But hey, that's just me...
No, you didn't get it. See my response to point 7.
Nope, I'm pretty sure I did. See my response to your response. I just didn't care.
I thought the Burly Brawl was the best fight scene in the whole movie, just above when Morpheus was using that straight sword.
Once again, Yikes....
Hey, at least Ep.1 was a lot better than the travesty that was Ep.2.
Except that when Ep.2 hit, my expectations had sunk pretty low, and it didn't hit me as hard.
This one doesn't even have anything to do with the movie, now it's more like a top 8.
It's job specific. That doesn't mean it doesn't have anything to do with the movie. If it didn't suck, I would feel significantly better at my current place of work.
