The Matrix was a Great Movie

Ok so am i the only one who thought that the matrix trilogy was the best trilogy ever. Some say that Matrix was boring,slow, and made no sense. The thing is if your not smart than you wont get the movie. Can you believe a San Fransisco News Critic gave this a 20%. I mean this scene should be more than enough to give it 50 at the least.

Everybody likes the Matrix. I don't hear anybody saying they hate it...

True,I never heard one person say they hated it except for Revolution.

The first one was the only good one.

Yes, you are.

Yeah, the sequels were a bit of a letdown IMO.

Some people will say it's anti-establishment, that's one of the negative things you'll hear about it.

It introduced a new concept on how to use slow motion technique therefore you can say it's one of those movie that's not friendly to the oldschool pauses and timing. Many of its artistic value is based on CGI, 3D mechanics.

So it's like Avatar in a lot of ways, weaponize against the oldschool indie flick's survival.

I did like the movie when I was a kid.

Well they did steal the script and story of the first Matrix so it is obvious the last 2 were not as good. For having nothing to work with though they did a good job.,

Everyone loves the first Matrix. It's the second and third that people don't like. Me, I didn't like Reloaded, but I liked Revolution.

The thing is if your not smart than you wont get the movie

That's ironic.

You're*, won't*.

I love how people use the defense, "you just don't get it," when someone criticizes something they like.

Ok I am not a grammar nazi but I didn't really care. Also, the matrix was a complex movie that you had to be smart and patient to understand.

Reloaded was the best. Third sucked.

You just don't get it, man. The things and stuff.

I did like Reloded the best mostly just because Morpheus got to kick some a$$

  To say that The Matrix was a great movie would be an understatement.       

That was awesome

Mega Man solos.

@menaceforever: i liked the entire trilogy as well , yes the first was the best but thats with most trilogies lol

@SoA: agreed

The Matrix is a terminator prequel. So before any of the movies you mentioned would be irrelevant due to it coming out before the named movies

Mega Man solos the entire Matrix series. World is saved.

The first one was good, the others got convoluted and weird.

Yeah, you're right. I just don't get how deep the exaggerated slow motion action sequences are.

Well it's a bold move insulting someone else's intelligence. No, it really isn't.

That's not really true. The Matrix is a mash up of a bunch of other works by smarter people. Take Ghost in the Shell, the Invisibles and a quick lesson in Descartes and you have the Matrix. That said, it's a great film. Reloaded is pretentious crap that violates its own rules, but with a few good action scenes. Revolutions is just an absolute abomination. Totally unwatchable.

Yes you did. You implied that not liking the movie means you don't understand it and therefore aren't smart.

@TheAnnihilator: I said some people don't get the movie because they thought it was slow, boring and made no sense because they didn't have the patience or intellect to take in the movie. When i said you had to be patient and intelligent to understand the movie that's because you do. If you want straight action go see a different movie, if you want a movie that has no aspect of plot development or required knowledge watch another movie. I do know some people that understood the movie and did not like it because they just didn't like it . That's why i said some.

I hate to burst your bubble, but the Matrix trilogy requires little to no intelligence.

The Matrix was fairly simple.

Sums it up.

Yes it was. It tries to be complex at the start but they pretty much fed the twist to the audience via silverspoon when Morpheus explained things.

The first one was the really good one. The sequels went downhill, but I think people give it more hate than it deserves.

^This^

The first film was good. The second film is where it veered off into crap. Revolutions was just.. ugh.

You know how you know the first one is good? Cause it was critically acclaimed and a box office hit despite Keanu's crappy acting.

The matrix trilogy was fcking amazing. I actually belive each sequel was better than the last.

@TheAnnihilator also lot of people didn't undertsnad the matrix entirely. It wasnt just a bunch if action sequences.

@HolySerpent: I strongly disagree with your first statement.

There really isn't much to understand with the Matrix trilogy. There's far deeper and more thought-provoking works out there.

@TheAnnihilator of coarse there's more thought provoking movies out there. That doesn't change the fact that the matrix wasn't just an action movie. Im just saying some people didn't understand it. That's why there sites dedicated to explaining the matrix trilogy

The Matrix - 200% Love

Reloaded - Like (it's only half movie)

Revolution - Hate / Vomit

I have them on DVD, I love them...

The first movie was the only one that I enjoyed but it is a good trilogy.

I loved the first but the second and thrid were pretty bad. The scene with Neo fighting the agent guys for what felt like half an hour (I don't know how long it actually was) was just irritating

I liked Reloaded and the original, I haven't given Revolutions much of a chance.

I did like the first one, second got pointlessly convoluted by the end and the third was a mess. Matrix was groundbreaking for it's use of special effects, not because of it's story. The idea of fabricated realities has been in science fiction for decades before The Matrix, look at films like Total Recall.

Like others, my favorite was the first movie.

I was indifferent towards Revolution but I liked Reloaded.

This is true, it wasn't just an action movie. However, these sites are people digging for things and making them up, like the Indoctrination Theory. Or maybe they really did have trouble understanding such a simple movie.
