I found a guy with common sense.

You just had the same effect on me after reading your comment. Thanks for that, haha.





I agree, but I think he is judging it from a cinematic perspective. The movie had awesome action moments, like all those 3rd person shooting scenes, the fighting one versus one scenes, and the bullet hell scenes, it even had platforming scenes, and let's no mention VR, but awesome moments of that caliber can be found on many action movies.

I love the action in The Matrix, but what makes me having it as one of the best movies of all time is how well ancient relious references are intertwined with modern technology, to make a more compelling parable. The Wachowskis really did their research.

If you take that away, I can see someone not liking the movie to the heights that has reached. Even though it is still a solid action movie without all that.

That, and he probably didn't have a good sound system in his room. But the important thing Balder is that his number one is exactly the one that needs to be number one, so people can have a little bit of sense injected in them.





I personally love the sequels, specially the 2nd. The first one was a better film, but I like the 2nd the most of the trilogy because of the heavy philosophical content. In terms of action it was still very cool, but the CGI was still too visible at the time.

The first time I saw the scene where he grabs a post and plays Dynasty Warriors karate with all the Smith agents, was one of the coolest scenes I ever saw, I even liked that he had to escape, but coincidentally that scene also has one of the most notorious low quality CGI in film. They did better in the Chase H.Q. scene, except when Neo shows up like some sort of Superman.

Something to consider though is that the action was important in these films. The 3rd movie had its Dragon Ball Z moments, but the rhythm of the action was lost trying to fit an ending to the philosophical aspects of the film, and that change of rhythm definitely affected it next to the other two.

I imagine that's when you got all the angry soldiers wanting to see more action and less talk, and I don't blame them.

By the way, I remember seeing on the news those moments where they would entertain soldiers overseas with concerts, stand up comedy, and movies. I always thought that was very cool, and it was always fun to see the reactions.
