No! You are WRONG little thinker! Agree with me or I will call you names!

I recognize that many won't like it as much as it did, but for whatever reason I was totally into that movie. It rocked. 9.5/10

So much of a movie experience is what you are feeling when you go. Sometimes I'm in the mood where a crap movie can be totally enjoyable, or the opposite where I'll build a movie up so much and expect so much that a great movie is disappointing (Two Towers - good, but as good as I wanted it to be). I went to this movie expecting them to screw it all up, but I don't think they did. I think this was an outstanding sequel. The last 15 minutes where Neo finds out "why he is" was a pretty freaking cool plotline. Sure the Zion part wasn't amazing, but whatever, I still enjoyed it.

I thought the storyline about the "old" programs was cool. I thought the storyline about Agent Smiths transformation into a rogue program was way cool. Agent smiths new ability versus humans was oustanding and should play well in movie 3. I thought the new agents with upgrades were cool. That freeway scene was outstanding. The twins were cool. I thought Trinity rocked and I thought that once Morpheus got out of Zion he was cool. There wasn't a single fight scene where I got bored. They can show me that kung-fu stuff for 8 hours and I'm good. And I thought the ending was solid, I am extremely pumped to see the next one.

So, forget it, I'm not buying your negative vibe sir! ;)

NO! it was a good movie. fun experience, i would suggest anyone to go see it, but it wasnt the next "the matrix" if you know what i mean.

i went into the movie fully expecting them to screw stuff up with too much special effects and whatnot, and they totally did in some places. the opening scene with trinity jumping out the building in slowmo, my brother was watching... watching.... watching..... then like yelled out... enough with the slow motion already, jesus. all you heard was people laughing... because it was too much.

now then, the end of the movie, and what wound up playing out, was awesome, the final story line was good and it sets the third movie up to be freaking awesome.

oh yea, please dont get me started on zion and morpheous' little speech.... >.<

oh yea, two towers really disappointed me as well. they strayed quite a bit away from the book (imo), and i really wasnt impressed with the way the director handled the aragorn & eowyn thing... as there was never really a thing in the first place or how he portrayed faramir at the end of the movie. the battle scenes at helm's deep and isengard were incredible, but just like the matrix, the fight scenes just dont make the movie.

I was a bit dissapointed myself. Now that neo knows the whole place is the matrix and apparently can violate the rules of physics at will.......why doesn't he use his fucking imagination? Pick up a pole? Ok why not, but wouldnt it be better to just extend your arms and make em into built in swords? Or grow a 3rd arm? or hell turn into the blob and start absorbing smiths. it all seemed like the same old same old, except the fact taht he could fly and the fighting actually felt slower
