tsk tsk tsk
look at all these poor saps still jacked into the matrix. Time to unplug boys.
I liked the guncatter scenes as much as the next guy, however in a real world type analysis it was ubsurd... apparently in addition to numbing ur emotions it also cut off ALL common sense... who knew that they would be incapable of stepping back a pace or two and pulling a trigger... or in the first place going so close is a bad idea.
Firstly, learn to spell nah. LOL @ guncatter. And then you wanna talk about a real world type analysis? and u use Matrix to support this? U think Morpheus could have made "the jump" in the real world? I think not. But that doesnt matter. It's scifi, just like equilibreum. The rules of the real world are bent. And good thing too.
& BTW bigger budget + most costly special effects does does not = a better movie. Look at LOTR, whose entire 3 film budget cost less than 1 star wars movie. And in addition, I pretty fed up of the whole 'bullet time" complex...I mean how many times are u going to use the same trick? Its refreshing to see a movie go orignal with some old school special effects for a change.
While Keanu comes across bland, so does Christian, and no, it’s not because of what the role demanded"
The difference is Keanu is bland 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, since the dawn of time. And it's exactly what the role demanded of Bale. Complete absence of any emotion. hmmm maybe Keanu would have been a better cast....Natural Blandless IYMC!
I won't respond to your other arguments because they are without merit and thus hold no weight outside of the rant. You highlight everything that made the movie popular and yet you say these there were "atrocious and horrible" without giving any explanation as to why. Sounds to me like u are bitter. Did this movie impress u so much that it diminished the light of the glorious Matrix series in yr eyes? Could it be that you strike out against it truly because truly u know its better and u can't accept it? Do you think Keanu is mad at you for going to see it? lol
