I read the first few words of the "I was wrong about Smith" somthing like that, i'm afraid to read the rest. I really don't want to be in jail for killing you and hence unable to watch the movie

I highly doubt you'll be missing much...
I agree the second installment was entirely dissapointing (save for the above mentioned 'eyecandy'. However, I've come to realize that even some of the special effects fell far short of my expectations), and I intend on seeing the conclusion of the trilogy simply to finish the story, as I'm curious to how it plays out.

About half of the whole big Neo-Smith fight scene in that courtyard was so badly animated it was pathetic. If you are going to do CGI in a movie, make it look real or don't use it. It shouldn't look like a FInal Fintasy 8 cutscene.

[Can_Opener]

Yea the CG animation for that scene was terrible. I mean, couldn't they have at least animated Neo's trenchcoat as black? Its funny how Final Flight of the Osiris was CG animated by Square's motion picture company (the same one that got closed down after the Final Fantasy movie) and its short looked awesome, almost real. Then the feature film that the short is about totally falls short.

I thought the second movie was bad and made no sense and had little plot. Then I watched it again and payed attention to the little details, and it changes the whole perspective on the matrix, and builds more on the original story I think... so its not too bad. I didnt even pick up the whole line about the 5 matrixs before the current one the first go around

Me 2, and thats why most people didnt like the 2nd one it was too hard to understand.

[PyRo]

I liked the 2nd one, I didn't think it was half as bad as most people made it out to be. The only thing I didn't get on the first go around was how the five matix's before it worked, and i'm still not completley sure but I have a better idea now thanks to AO

[ZAust]

well, i got the dvd, and have watched it 5 times since.(yes.. i am a dork). when i saw it in the theater,i came out hating it. once i watched a couple times at home, it seemed to jell a lot more, and the storyline really came together. that and i got to watch the freeway scene over... and over... and over... and over...

[Steelrat]

I was disappointed. I believe it was a case of "Star Wars Syndrome." Unrealistic expectations+producer/driector trying too hard=mediocre movie. The first was much much much better than the second one. In the second one, they started to take themselves far too seriously.

[gimp]

I loved the second movie. Some of the scenes looked cheesy (the smith-new scene for example), but the rest of the movie was great. The only part that I think gives people major problems with the movie is in the end. Where the architect starts explaining stuff to neo. It would be hard to do, but if they could have spread that information out throughout the whole movie, it might have been better. I got most of it the first time I heard it. I go to an engineering school, and a lot of my professors talk like the architect, accept with some sort of asian accent. So I was able to understand it pretty easily the first time through. Most of my friends are pretty retarded. They stopped paying attention after the first big word the guy said. They didn't like the movie.

I've watched it a bunch of times, and I think I see something new every time I watch it. Hopefully I'll go and see the new one tomorrow. I can't wait!

[ExtremeODD]

dude i skipped school so i can go when theater opens (not as fun as dark but who cares)

[ERut]

Went to the 6 am show baby!

[TraXeR]

I'm goign to go see this movie in a few hours, how woudl you guys rate it on a 1(bad)-10(godly) scale?

[LaW]

I saw it last night and would have to rate it a 6, basically it had great effects and sequences but the movie just didn't conclude anything for me and it was kind of a disappointment.

Reminds me of this interview I read with Quentin Tarantino regarding Kill Bill and CGI:

[Warning: what follows is definitely an 18 rating verbal explosion]

http://www.empireonline.co.uk/news/news.asp?story=5043

...Quentin got all riled up about The Matrix and the use of evil CGI in movies. This new-found hatred was apparently triggered when director Luc Besson brought Keanu Reeves to an early screening of Kill Bill.

'I watched Keanu watching and I suddenly felt it,' explains Tarantino.

'You know, my guys are all real.

There's no computer [expletive]ing around.

I'm sick to death of all that [expletive].

This is old school with [expletive]ing cameras.

If i'd wanted all that computer game bull[expletive], I'd have gone home and stuck my [expletive] in my Nintendo.
