First Matrix Reloaded Review

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-in-line dept.

EpsCylonB writes "The IMDB is reporting that the London Daily mirror has the first review of the Matrix Reloaded. Sounds like the Wachowski borthers have gone for an all out action movie which is a shame if true. What I liked most about the original was the way it blended stunning action with a subtle philosphical theme about how we percieve reality." I'll hold judgement until the closing credits myself.

    Yeah, old dead Greek guys certainly held the key to life... Oh wait, no they didn't. They're fucking dead.

    Word to that. The only people I talked to who were genuinely intrigued by the philosophical questions that the matrix set forth were, to be blunt, stupid and uneducated. I didn't say that to their faces though cause they were also violent gun-loving types. The rest of us dealt with the question of "what is reality" in highschool english class cause we were paying attention when they talked about Plato. We didn't find it that interesting, though, cause there weren't any guns or robots.

    If the matrix was the first thing to make you ponder these types of questions then either you're very young or you just don't think much.

    I can see now why I absolutely despised The Matrix. I'm fully capable of handling lofty philosophical concepts, abstract thought, etc. I can't stand garbage prancing around as intellectualism. Speaking of Cornel West...

    AICN? A movie review from my 95 year old grandma holds more water than any review AICN can muster. AICN is a crap site, run by an egotestical (yeah, I'm spelling it right) fatass who knows nothing about movies.

    You know, if someone else had gotten the role, we'd be saying "can you imagine Keanu Reeves in that role? "The One" is a guy that's dumber than dirt?? Thank God THAT didn't happen!"

  7. Subtle philosophical humbug. by CountBrass · · Score: 0, Troll

    The story line in the original matrix was thin as paper rather than subtle and self-indulgent to a fault.

    Let's face it the things that made Matrix popular were a) Trinity b) the special effects c) Trinity, d) the action scenes and e) Trinity.

    subtle philosophical blah blah humbug.
