Bruce B Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Is the third Matrix worth picking up? I loved the original but the second one was abysmal I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 For me it is. I liked the first two a lot, the 3rd some people hated. Some loved. Im in the liked category capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooter Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Although I loved the first two, I'm in the "didn't care for it" category. The completionist in me will probably pick it up, though. Maybe a second or third viewing will help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Yep. I'll be picking up the 3rd Matrix film this week as well. There were some good things there, not a lot, but some. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 And I say no to the third Matrix. People seem to think they achieve some sort of zen when watched altogether, but not worth the risk for me. I found it was tired, tepid, and lacked the depth of the first one, or even the second one which was decent but not great. I realized I had had enough of the Matrix during that scene in Revolutions where three people go over a turnstile in three separate ways, each more complicated than the last. It's called "just leap over it" people. That's about the point where I realized the substance of the first one was not going to be found here and it was going to be attempts to wow for the rest of the running time. Shame too, because the first is one of my favorite sci-fi films of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobeto Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I felt the second film was a huge let down. The dialogue was horrible, and for God's sake, that scene where Neo fights Agent Smith: I get it Neo is tough. It was a terrific computer generated bore. :roll: And, the whole dance scene in Zion...I found myself rooting for the Sentinels So I didn't even bother with the third, although I will probably rent it and waste 3 bucks.

Chris F Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Unlike a lot of people, I loved Matrix Revolutions. In fact, it's turned out to be my favorite of the three. Last weekend I watched all 3 movies back to back, and I hadn't seen Revolutions in the theatre, mostly because of all the bad stuff I had heard about it. So I went in expecting crap, and it turns out I loved it. Maybe it's because my expectations were lowered, I don't know. I loved the fact most of the movie wasn't in the Matrix. I loved the fact it didn't have a clear cut winner at the end. Plus it didn't have a happy ending, so that is always a plus in my book. Going to watch it again today, just to see if my feelings about it hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 i'll pick up Revolutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I never saw Revolutions so I'll pick it up to complete the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I'm a completist. I'll pick up a copy of it. I think Ultimate will have it for cheaper than any of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Failsafe Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 The completist in me will pick this up as well. Attention fellow Canadians: Future Shop has Revolutions for $21.99 on Tuesday only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain rising Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Revolutions for me too. I enjoyed it... the last two films have kind of grown on me after seeing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyjaw Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 I'm also very pro-Revolutions and Reloaded. I admit that there was some adjustment time going from 1 to 2, but I don't think that makes 2 a bad movie, just different. Going from 2 to 3 was easier because they were more similar in style, but I think 3 was better paced and a more enjoyable film overall. I think the trilogy is an astounding achievement by any measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyjaw Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Can anyone tell me if there's a rhyme or reason to when Best Buy decides to break street date on DVDs? Is there any reason to expect that I might be able to pick up Revolutions tomorrow?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 I doubt it as they are gonna be having a release party starting 12 am on tuesday. Ive never seen a broken street date at bestbuy for anything around here. Maybe others have capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyjaw Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Thursday? I thought it was due on Tuesday, is that what you meant? The one nearest where I live broke street on Lord of the Rings: TTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Put me in the category of people that enjoyed the 2nd and 3rd Matrix films. I went in expecting entertaining action/sci-fi movies with good special effects and wasn't disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 For me, the DVD of the week is The Grapes of Wrath! $9.99? I'm all over that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittycatgirl2k Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 The Matrix was a great movie. The second one was an absolute bore with some cool effects but I haven't seen the third so its a no brainer pickup for me. The Animatrix was pretty awesome in parts and definitely worth buying if anyone here has not seen it yet. I liked it much better than the second flick (which had me checking my watch at the movie theater - not a good sign!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Revolutions was better than Reloaded, & it finishes up the trilogy,so I'll be picking this one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
