I dunno about you lot, but if you are anything like me, you're not a massive movie fan. I enjoy movies, don't get me wrong, but I just can't be arsed going out of my way to watch them. Plus, I don't really have the time to go and see movies (yeah, and I'm unemployed). I've never really look forward to movies either. I mean, when I heard the sequel to 'rush hour' was in the cinemas, I didn't force a little brown child out with excitement. I still haven't seen it. But I know if I did watch it, I would probably enjoy watching it. I'm not a movie buff either. All these dorks out there can't believe their luck that theres a sudden wave of comic turned movie. Spider man, x-men, the hulk - yeah yeah yeah, its all grand for movie buffs but what about me, average joe? The first matrix movie I found compelling. It had it all really didn't it? Guns, birds, sci-fi, fighting, crazy explosions etc.. and because of this, I really looked forward to seeing reloaded. I have never anticipated a movie before (except babe: pig in the city when I was 6). Two failed attempts to see it at the cinema and a fucked up DVD copy all had my hopes dashed. "Im never going to see it!! Mutha Fucka!!" I remember thinkning. Until that gracious laddy, which is scott mcmorine, took me to see it! Okay, he had already seen it, and procter had also seen it TWICE before, but still came along. Bless him.
Heres a tip before you watch the matrix reloaded: don't smoke pot before hand. Its a fatal schoolboy error. You will have trouble trying to understand it in a clear state of mind. As the movie starts, we find that Neo has got used to his skills like flying and shit, and can proper kick some ass. However, remember those big octopus-like robots at the end of the first move, the senitels? Well, theres roughly 250,000 of them drilling their way to the last human city... oooh!! So its a mad race against time to try and find out what the heros should do, then do it. I would be more detailed here, but the movie simply lost me. Neo has now got himself a girlfirend! You see him pork trinity, which has its moments, but that really should have been left for titanic. Or erotica. A really cool part is that agent smith (main agent in the last movie) has kind of gone solo and found a way to copy himself. Poop. The highlight of the movie has to be the action scenes though. Neo fighting 100 agents smiths has to be one of the best movie scenes ever... thats like the highlight of the whole movie.
At first you'll understand the movie very well. Typical movie stuff really, but the storyline goes pear shaped after Neo meets up with the oracle agian. Oh god, she's so full of shit. And why doesn't anybody answer questions properly these days? Typical bullshit philosophy from the movie: "What am I doing here?" To the reply of "You are here because you are not here". WHAT? Thats what its like though. Honestly. And why does Neo keep asking "why am I here?" because he should know that hes never going to get a straight answer from anybody. God it has its moments of pissing me off. The end of the movie is the height of annoyance though, where Neo has fought through the entire movie to meet this asshole in white who doesn't make sense. I remember reading that the brothers that made the movie made it 'into a intellectual action movie'. Except they sacrificed understandable for 'intellectual'. What wrong with dumb 'n' fun? Sure, I'll probably understand the movie after a few more viewings, but thats not the point. I can't really give too much detail on the movie incase I have misunderstood something, and someone who does understand will be laughing at my efforts. And whats it with that french bloke who appears to not have much of a vital role, yet spend about 20 minutes talking about some fucking cake ARRRGH!!
The action scenes though, I'll give the creators 10 outta 10 for that.. woooh! The motorway scene is pretty damn good and clocks in at 17 minutes long (no shit) and is all round grade A action. As for the cast..? Well, we've got a whole new array of enemy here kids: New agents, new additions to the sentials, the virus twins, which indeed, kick ass (and they did when they were on Carol vodermans better homes. No shit).
Im sure the actors had trouble understanding this bullshit philosophy themselves. Although, they do impress, like when stoner Reeves (come on, as if he isn't) kills hundreds of people with out a flicker of emotion, making it seem 'cool'. Weaving, who plays agent smith, is an actor a class above the rest, though. His chilled type of attitude, but also his ability to kick some ass is what I like about him. Morpheus is full of shit as usual and theres this new guy that was a bit like mouse in the first film, except this guy has no mates. To be honest, I really can't be arsed talking about the movie in detail. You'll see it yourself, make your own mind up about it... Just let me leave you with a few rwords: So whilst the story line, or what I understood about the storyline, sucks some serious ass, you can be sure the action will make up for it. If you buy it on DVD then be thankful, if you don't understand it the first time, simply reload it into you dvd player. Ha ha ha hah ha hhaaha.
