I am pretty sure that the directors cut their own dicks off or something.

The Highway chase in Reloaded was lifted, beat by beat from a Dragon Ball Z episode. gently caress if I can't find it again, but there was an ancient youtube video showing the scenes in both side by side. It was a rather forgettable scene in DBZ, so no one (except a few die hard fans) noticed. Then in the third movie they went full on DBZ at the final battle, including the shockwaves, Smith grabbing Neo and diving with him etc. It was shameless to treat Saint Goku that way imho. EDIT: Found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xnpeOYx048 Love how it actually needs to point out which frame is DBZ. TheNightReaver fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Jun 29, 2014 |

They lost the plot with too much CGI in the action scenes when the original used it sparsely. The freeway scene wasn't half as good as it could have been. The mansion fight was decent.

Cutting 5 minutes from the 15 minute runtime of the freeway chase would have made for a tighter scene, also if the chase scene had a purpose to the story that would have been cool too.

And they introduce way too many plot threads that they don't explain at all. Compare the bits where Morpheus reveals the matrix then later has the training programs that explain the rules and gives more background to anything revealed in the sequels. There are other programs in the matrix around going around their lives for some reason. They're not really allied with agents for some reason. Some of them have mythical style powers for some reason. Find some guy who makes keys. Ok bye!

matrix opinions: 1 the second renaissance anime is dumb fanfiction worldbuilding that pretends war imagery without suspense or personal investment is drama. 2 the chateau fight in reloaded is super good 3 Ebert called revolutions "a whimper in bang's clothing" which is fuckin' right Hobo By Design fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Jun 29, 2014 |

I thought the anime with the haunted house was great, but it pretty much had nothing to do with the Matrix. The rest was forgettable.

People make a big deal about the freeway scene in Reloaded but it's really a big product placement op for Cadillac. There's one good moment in that, which is when Morpheus inexplicably pulls out a katana and chops a car in half. That also does not make sense but at least it's pretty cool and dramatic, rather than the video game car flipping excessive slomo. The first film set a lot of awesome standards but the second film tried way too hard to emulate the first and it just became dull and stupid (sadly).

The worst thing about the Matrix Sequels is that they pulled a George Lucas and went back and gave the original movie really ugly green color grading to match the look of the sequels

You know when I watched The Matrix again after years of railing on the sequels, something hit me: It was pretty heavily shot like a noir film. The other movies didn't have that. Also back when Reloaded came out I did a little experiment. I counted how much bullet time was in the first film (about 7 seconds I think) then how much was in the next film.. they hit like a full minute of bullet time before the introduction was over. Given the other poo poo the Wichowskis have done, I have to think the first Matrix had someone reigning them in with an actual vision for the thing. The other movies.. well the car chase from Reloaded should have been a theme park ride and left it at that. ...of SCIENCE! posted:The worst thing about the Matrix Sequels is that they pulled a George Lucas and went back and gave the original movie really ugly green color grading to match the look of the sequels What the gently caress. OK, that's just dumb as poo poo. Are there any released versions without the grading?

The green shading in the sequels honestly is what I remember most about those movies, it was so bad. I haven't seen the first one in a long time, but I'm surprised to hear it wasn't in that one.
