The Matrix: Reloaded

[yay_4_me]

Okay, no plot. NONE. Sub-par at best acting (except Laurence Fishbourne, that man is so freaking awesome). Very few high points. The slow down, stop, rotate the camera 360, back to normal speed fight scene angels were reused in the exact same way as the first. Nothing special there. The fight scenes themselves were really rather cinematographically

I am the most hard-core Star Wars fan here and I don't think that's debatable... Yes, it's story does parallel the story of Star Wars some. But to be quite honest... How else would a space epic trilogy go? I mean... when you have one hero... The first part he discovers himself... the second he realizes he isn't invincible... And in the third part he overcomes. It was a great movie and yes, for people who don't appreciate the art of the fight scenes, they could get a little tedious to watch. For me (and my father since we love this shit) it's more about the story which is totally different from Star Wars on the micro scale... The shear ingenuity to say that our lives are a dream world computer program where everything is possible... I'm sorry but I think you could actually discuss Matrix Theory... The complexity of everything that goes on it that movie... Ok, so it's a computer program right? And it has rules... So Neo and the rest of them break these rules... What does that mean? It means they are hackers... They are computer programmers and they are writing their own program regulations with every act of defiance against the normal rules of the Matrix. The Key Maker... Now this took me some thinking... He's not a programmer because he is a program... If he's a program, then how does he do what he does? He's a virus. He's a computer virus. He's a "worm". He works his way through other programs, gaining access to everything he wants and doing whatever he wants... There is so much that can be discussed about it. So much to actually analyze from it that I love it... I eat this kinda shit up... People go for the fight scenes, to see Neo kick ass... to see people fly through the air... But look deep into the story... and see what you find...
