ok. anyone else PISSED about Matrix Reloadeds ending?? (no spoiler just a rant)

i'm furious.

A friend volunteered to watch zoey and chelsey for the afternoon, and a little extra cash came our way so we treated ourselves to a "date". We were enjoying our first time alone in many months, having a blast with the movie (which i really did like alot) and then... it ended.

and i'm pissed at how it ended. ugh. i have no patience

You're pissed just over the ending?? That was majorly annoying, but we went to it tonight and I thought the entire thing stunk, lol. In fact, it was so boring, I could barely stay awake. Dh was equally unimpressed.

Was it me or was it a bunch of really easily choreographed fight scenes and then long drawn out annoying explanations about everything? Ugh!! It was nothing like the first matrix, that one was so good and this just stunk.

lol

actually you're right. i was pissed about it not being nearly as good as the first. We waited a long time for this movie and tho there were nice moments, overall i wasn't so impressed.

the freaking thing would've been ok without the 10 minute dance/lovemaking scene,....and what was up with the fight scenes. over and over and over and over again. and they took forever! at one point someone in the audience shouted out "enough already...fly on out of there so we can move on!".

dh DID fall asleep toward the end, during the 'explanation' by the architect.

i liked a few things, but mostly yes, i was disappointed in the movie. I will however go to the next one in November just cuz..well..cuz now I HAVE to. ugh.

Barb,

I didn't read the posts after yours so forgive if someone already said this... but I am not mad at all... the next movie is coming out this year. I think that besides it being a total marketing ploy and that whole money thing sucks... whatever... it was long anyway right?



Love Val

Oddball here too. Saw it today and I LOVED it. I thought it was full of suspense, action, and still maintained the wonderfully confusing, yet alluring theological aspect that kept making you think and figure it all out. Oh, and if you stay past the credits, you get to see a preview for the third movie.

Call me a guy, but

jeez what a "chic flick" -- I was GAGGING over all the sappy lovey dovey Neo and Trinity crap.

And please, if the guy is the mini-messiah of the unplugged and the meet him at every turn with food and gifts, do you think at least one of them would have given him and his girlfriend a NEW SHIRT?! The kids are clean and in spotless homespun, ditto just about everyone else, but he's walking around in total rags.

AND, the pilot of the ship uses a headset because he needs both hands -- WHY does everyone IN the matrix have to use a traditional cell phone? Aren't they hung up by losing a hand to "dial out"?

Ugh.
