RATE or REVIEW The Last Movie You Watched.

[pturtle]

I still like all of them, but the first one is my favorite. The only thing that bothered me a little bit (which had to do with my own expectations, not the film's fault) was....(12 years spoiler ahead )

Spoiler

At the end of the first film, we see Neo with his new powers telling the Matrix or the architect,

""I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid. You're afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you, a world without rules and controls, without borders or boundaries, a world where anything is possible. Where we go from there, is a choice I leave to you." Then he puts on the sunglasses and flies away like Superman.

And I was like, whoa! He's going to wake people up because he's the one, and it's all part of the prophesy and blah blah blah...but that never happened In part 2, he was still fighting new agents so his new powers were irrelevant again. Then, it turns out he wasn't the first chosen one? There were others before him? Then, the whole plot evolves into Neo fighting Smith again because he (Smith) was taking over the Matrix, so in the end Neo had to work with the Matrix and make a deal with it, therefore when he beats Smith again, the Matrix doesn't kill the humans in the underground city, which means everything stayed the same as it was before That's my only issue, nothing changed in the end, and Neo (the one) never defeated the Matrix, like I thought he would.

Actually that is what Neo was doing after The Matrix, I think Morpheus makes a reference to it in Reloaded which is why upgraded agents were made. I think Reloaded takes place 6 months after the first Matrix, and during that time Neo was going around waking up a bunch of sleepy heads.

And a lot changed at the end, pretty the answer to Cypher and Morpheus' problem of people who are not ready to be free came to fruition. People who want to live in the fantasy life and not wake up can, those who now want to be freed also can.

Why stupid though? Over the top? For sure, but the premise lends itself for over the top crap, it demands over the top, and it works.

Stupid because it crossed the threshold by trying to be uber serious & ended up being piss funny.

Stupid because it crossed the threshold by trying to be uber serious & ended up being piss funny.

But what threshold? What is threshold? How do you define threshold?

It's the Matrix! It's messing with you now...they're listening I'm out of here

I'm awakening.

 

[GasparZizou]

Btw this is hilarious, I remember I saw it back then and I completely forgot about this until I re watched the movies.

Going off from memory as I haven't seen the Matrix films in a long while:

The Matrix - 10/10
The Matrix Reloaded - 8/10
The Matrix Revolutions - WTF/10

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

The Matrix was good until the sequels made it fall flat on its face

 

[GasparZizou]

That's the usual consensus, they didn't though, but people get distracted with all the CGI and they think that's what's all about.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Frank 6.5/10

Interesting, but essentially random. I get that that is the point, but really just eh. Fassbender was great to watch and Gyllenhaal is okay. Just don't watch while extremely bored already.

 

[murdomac]

Predestination 8/10

A time travel movie with a paradox within a paradox within a paradox within...well you get the idea a complete mind bending experience .

VICE 2/10

Bruce willis at his absolute worst, avoid.

The Hobbit (5 Armys) 8/10

More of the same but nothing wrong with that if you like that sort of thing

 

[pturtle]

Whiplash - 9/10

Holy crap was this movie good. Miles Teller should have got a nomination for this, I thought his performance was just as good as J.K. Simmons’.

 

[GasparZizou]

Animatrix 8/10

 

[meth head]

Whiplash 10/10

Movies don't come much better than this. It's a MASTERPIECE!

 

[pturtle]

Whiplash 10/10

Movies don't come much better than this. It's a MASTERPIECE!

Easily the best movie of the year in my opinion.

 

[meth head]

Easily the best movie of the year in my opinion.

EASILY! This is one of the greatest films I have ever seen. It's just brilliant! Everything about it. Completely flawless.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Robocop (2014) 7.5/10

Really enjoyed some of the action sequence, and the parallel of human or machine was a nice change. Definitely can see some creative flaws and issues. Still a solid film.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I really want to see Whiplash.

 

[GasparZizou]

It does look good, I felt emotionally threatened just by watching the trailer.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

I haven't seen it yet, but as a drummer it definitely looks exhilarating.

 

[Xenoburger_]

Maniac - 8.5/10

That. Was. Amazing.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Maleficent - 5/10 - Not as bad as I thought. Too much CGI, too many voice overs/ narration, and not much of a story. And the moral of the story, men are evil or useless, and women are better of living with other women happily ever after in a Men-free land Overall, somewhat entertaining, but forgettable...
