Thursday, May 15, 2003 My Brain Still Hurts Damn. That was a fine piece of movie-making. I'm going to try and avoid spoiling anything here for a week or so, until I see it again and be a little more analytical. I still can't quite wrap my head around everything that happened. Ya know that feeling you got after seeing Star Wars Episode 1? "Damn that was cool, but I wish the lightsaber fight was longer." Ya, there was none of that. The action sequences were plentiful and L O N G (which, in my book, is a good thing. It is, after all, why I go see The Matrix.) Their was no less than 7 billion action set-pieces in the film, AND what is quite possibly the hottest sex scene in a Sci-Fi movie EVER. My jaw hurts today because it kept hitting the damn floor of the theater. Sure, the dialogue was a little top-heavy at points, but it is a comic-book movie after all... And the script is certainly miles above the other comic book flicks of late. There are more twists and existential riddles in the last 30 minutes than in a whole box full of goth-poetry. When was the last time that an action movie featured a 10+ minute MONOLOGUE during the climax? If the first Matrix spawned no less than three (one,two,three) books and essay collections on philosophy and religion, then the books penned based on Reloaded will fill a book-case. The story does suffer slightly because Reloaded is the middle film in a trilogy (which seems to be the curse of 2002-'03) but that can be forgiven as the thrid instalment opens in November. Speaking of the 3rd installment, be sure to stay through ALL the credits at the end (and seemingly everybody living in LA got a credit of some-sort) to see teh (very)brief teaser for Revolutions. Hot damn I can't wait! posted by JMV | 5/15/2003 10:28:00 AM | |
