Matrix was a pretty good movie... but considering that the storyline is completly STOLEN i cant give it any credit...
Matrix 2 had a bad storyline. maby because because there were no book named Matrix2 to steal the plot from.... the martial art scenes were HORRIBLE... enybody who've... and i can understand that, cuz Reeves is no martial artist. The only combinations he were using were punches and lock kicks. Since im a martial art fan (seen every bruce lee, jet li, jackie chan ... ... movies), i couldt appreciate the low ammount of skills that were shown in the movie. check any jet li movie, that man does it 50 times better with no effects.
the only thing i could appreciate in matrix 2 was the 3d modulation.

martix i for the story
matrix 2 for action

where is the story stolen from?
matrix was a NEW thang. every lousy effect was SPECIAL UNIQUE and AMAZING.
matrix 2 was full of effects but.. well... they annoy after a time.

watch the film again man and I suggest that you actually watch it. The fight scenes where amazing, I have seen all of Jackie chans films and shit but I still appreciated the fight scenes in this film. You wanna see bruce lee go and watch enter the dragon, you wanna see Chan go watch Rush hour you wanna see Jet go and watch a jet movie. Just because it wasn't the stuff you where use to watching doesn't mean that you shouldent of enjoyed the fight scenes. Yes you could tell that some of em where fake and yes you could sit there and go he could never do that, but thats the point of course he could never do that. You think Keanu can fly? lol.
The film was alway set out to be different from the rest, to set something totally new as like THE MATRIX and for me it did. Everything about the film was amazing and just because you can't appreciate the storyline because it was to complex for you doesn't mean you should try and act as if the movie sucked for everyone. Basically because you didnt get the film, understand, and enjoy it doesnt mean everyone else in the world did.
Everything about the film was so unique and original. Go and watch it again bud and I suggest this time that you dont fall asleep in your popcorn.

my point is that a movie is not DOPE only cuz it got a "unike and/or complex storyline"....
i would give "matrix 2" 3.5-3.9 outta 5
its good... but far from dope

I feel you there. Being a martial artist myself i was pretty disapointed with the lack of variation that Reeves used. I understand the plot, and that gives room for all the unrealistic moves and flips. But from a martial arts point of view i have to agree the fight scences were disapointing.
Another problem was that the fight scenes. (Especally the one after Neo met the oricle) were pretty long, and they did get boring a repetitive.
The storyline was a good continuation from the first martix, but i think that the first movie had a better storyline. It maybe beacuse it was stolen, but i wasnt aware of that fact.
Overall i rate the two movies like this
Martix - 8/10
Martix Reloaded - 7/10
Both good moves with god storylines, i just dont think anyone can class these movies as classics.

I cant understand how n e body thought the fight scenes where long and boring. The same people who are saying that will be the smae people who will be pissed off if there is 1 3 minute fight scene in revolutions.

You mis-interpreted wot i said. The fight scences were long and boring due to lack of variation.. and i can really only say that the one fight scene was a bit long and that was the one when he was attacked by all the agents. I will definatly see revolutions... Like i said.. good movie.. Fight scenes need more variation.. maybe i wasnt clear when i mentioned somethin like that

*retracts statement*

Ibo, your statement makes little sense. Are you trying to support the MAtrix Reloaded???
lol
When I saw the money it made, it schocked me.
The Matrix Reloaded Weekend Gross= $15,687,241 Total Gross= $232,701,046
And its still in it's 3rd week...1st week it crossed 135 million.
Matrix 2 is an awesome film.
-
just because of the money, doesnt mean its awesome, wen i first saw it, i like the graphics, but the talking parts were beat, and it had a weak plot, the first one was a lot beter in the plot, but the 2nd had beter effects, i think in the 2nd, they just did all crazy stunts and visual effects, and forgot to write a decent plot, X2 is def better.
matrix 9/10
matrix reloaded 6.5/10
