How old/young are you (to all)?

So can "Ghost In the Shell" and "Star Trek" and "Terminator" and loads of other exactly identical story lines, which i'm sure you'll find a lot of connections here and there between them.

Matrix and all it's sequels and pre-quels is nothing more then a waste of time SFX with a worn out story line and 99% bad actors, mosty Keanu Reeves which as usuall trashes a movie (anyone remembered Johnny Nemnonic ?) so forgive me for not being impressed by computer effects.

Even Freddy Krueger has a better story line then The Matrix!

 

Each Person likes different things, i'm not "thrilled" by computer effects and minimal story line and none convincing acting.

It's my opinion.
Just like you don't agree with me, I don't agree with you, each to their own.

 

Unfortunatly it seems today people prefer less plot and more special effects. Reminds me that the Trek fans that "loved" the latest movie Nemesis, is all cause of special effects, cause they know the movie itself is nothing special, rather dull and alot of parts are rip off from TOS Movies :-/

The Matrix has fans, which most are CGI fans, and CGI is best viewed on the big screen, personaly, I wouldn't waste money on seeing CGI, I like seeing a nice new and interesting story, and I don't find it in the Matrix, for me it's a boring long drag full of CGI and SFX to make the time fly faster.

I Think the last unexpected movie i've seen that had an interesting and twisty story line was "Swordfish" where the acting was great and very convincing, SFX/CGI was used only when needed, and you couldn't figure out what was going on till the end of the movie! now that's what I call a good movie, but again, that's me, i'm not a big crowed.

 

Matrix story is partially different, but not really new. The Idea that we live in a program has been kicked around many times in Science fiction books. Even though Keanu Reeves sucks, they still give him that I don't know what's going on character that he can play. Bill and Tedds is the best illustration of Keanu Reeves acting ability or for the ladies Sweety November. But if you like Martial Arts, SFX then reloaded was good, if you want plot and good writing see Lord of the Rings. This was the first, the start of Roleplaying and the development of Fantasy. And the Movie does have good CGI to keep the tech geeks happy.

 

I agree Dela, It was setup similar to Empire Stikes back. Just to wind you up for the next and final chapter. Reloaded can't stand on its own as a movie, the previous and follow up are needed. The only movie trilogy I can think of where the second film can stand alone is Back to the Future 2. It needs the third to end the trilogy, but you know whats going on if you just watch it.

 

Godfather 2. Best stand-alone sequel ever. Best sequel ever. One of the best MOVIES ever.
