#Rocky balboa speech to son dragonball z movie#
This movie seemed like it was running on fumes, and that ultimatly was the failure. I can see why it ended that way, and I think in a way you have to respect the risk that went with ending the trilogy like they did. As for the ending, I wasn't as angry about it as some other people were. They even just redo the lobby fight from the first film, except this time the bad guys are on the ceiling. It just seemed like everything they did in terms of action and fights was just. The problem simply is that the first Matrix was so innovative, they just were unable to top themselves, no matter how hard they tried. Stuff blows up, they punch each other through buildings and fly around. It's basiclly like watching Dragonball Z. My problem is how on a whole, the fight was just pretty un-interesting. Now, I'm not gonna go on a tirade about the CGI, because even though it looks like The Sims fighting, that's what you expect in the Matrix series. When I first saw the Revolutions trailer, I said "This fight between Smith and Neo had better be the best throwdown ever caught on film." Well, it wasn't. Why not just end the movie with 100 years later everyone celebrating a holiday called "Neomas?" Despite all the Matrix fans who say that this is a film designed to "deprogram" people and "open minds," and all the Matrix fans I met who bash christianity, this is a pretty pro-christian movie. this movie will not only make that clear, they will beat you over the head with it, to the point where a cross actually appears on Neo's chest, and he's dragged off while in a crucifix position. If you never made the connection that Neo was supposed to be Christ, well.

But not to fear, this one's chock full of religious symbolism. The same guy who gave a speech to fire up Zion is now just sitting around being yelled at? As for the philosophy stuff, there wasn't all that much in this one, which was one of the positives, because if I had to sit through another half hour speech about causality, I'd declare holy war on france. Morpehus was relegated to playing second banana to Niobi, which pretty much was a total betrayal of his character. I've always thought that Morpheus was the most interesting character in Martix lore, and Larry Fishburne usually is a high point of the movies, but he sleepwalked through this one, mailed in every line and had a look on his face that seemed to say "I really don't wanna do this any more." This is probably due to the fact that they really didn't give any of the principal characters anything important or interesting to do. Also, when did they replace the actors with wax statues? Keanu is Keanu, but even since Reloaded, the acting seemed to drop off. In fact, I'd say that a good 60% of the script consists of characters saying "You know what you need to do" "You know the answer" "When the time comes, you'll know." This is fine in a comic book or a novel, where we know a character's thoughts, and there's room for introspection, but on film it just doesn't work. This goes on for about 20 minutes or so and makes you want to put your lip over your head and suck your eyeballs out of the sockets. ORACLE: By the way, I'm a different actress, I better explain that every time I'm on screen.
Here is an excerpt, more or less: NEO: What am I supposed to do? ORACLE: You know what you're supposed to do. Not because I'm smart, but because I've seen it done in dozens of other movies.
The momment I saw the kid tip his cart over, I knew exactly what was going to happen, and I was correct.
I could have also done without this battle including every single war movie cliche ever. Sure, some of the stuff is neat, but there's no emotional attachment. While the concept was cool, it just came off as watching some kid you don't know at an arcade play video games. Neo, Morpheus and Trinity are the central characters of this film, and they were nowhere to be found in what was supposed to the biggest action scene. This would have been interesting, had it not been a case of a bunch of minor characters being the focal point. I don't say this because it was "too deep," because it wasn't, I say this because it was a film that failed miserably at everything it set out to do. I don't care what you learned in your Philosophy courses, this movie wasn't any good. 29 November 2003 - 47 out of 87 users found this review helpful.
