Part Two

posted on may 18, 2003, tag: entertainment

I'm going to make my comments about The Matrix Reloaded short and sweet. I feel like wasting time giving overly general feelings and not being able to say anything about parts of the film (most notably, the ending) in specific aren't worth it. In a week or two, after the rush to see the film is over, I plan to go more in depth into what I thought about specific details and story-lines.

In general, I liked it. At first I felt a little disappointed by some elements, but the more I think about it and the more it settles, I really liked the film a lot. It was exactly what it should have been: the line between point A and point B. There were definitely parts of the film that were poorly handled (the most obvious was the digital fight scene with Neo and the many, many Agent Smiths), but in the long-run the action was tight, fast and really, really fun.

All in all, the film was really great and I'm planning to see it again in the next few days because I'm the type of person who does that sort of thing. If you haven't seen it yet, you definitely must. In a few days, I will write [extensively] about what the movie means to me / theories of what we could see in Revolutions.

I thought the Neo-Smith-Smith-Smith-Smith-etc. fight was amazing. In some of the trailers, it the animation seemed off and it was clear that it was CG (like in the rooftop jumping sequence in Spider Man), but they seemed to have fixed that up when I saw it.
