Now, before anyone starts calling me, etc, i want to make one point : i did enjoy both Reloaded and Revloutions. OK.
Before i went to the cinema today to see Revs i watched both the original Matrix and Reloaded on DVD.
The thing that struck me was the first movie is a stand out, even more so now that i've seen Revs. It is just a fabulous movie - simple as that. It could quite easily exist without the sequels. In fact the ending to the Matrix, Neo's phone call, is for me a superior ending to the Revs one and is just as open ended. I guess what i'm asking is could the story have ended there? Did we really need Reloaded and Revolutions?
Tbh nothing has really surprised me in either of the sequels, but when i look back to the Matrix, especially my first viewing, it was like WTF!!! What am i watching?? Who can forget the initial Trinity chase, the moment when she was suspended in air and ran around the wall? The moment when Neo awakes into the real world. That really was a shock to me (i had read no spoilers at all.) Bullet time. Neo seeing the Matrix code when fighting Smith near the end.
I can't help thinking in 10-20 years the Matrix will be remembered as an all-time great sci-fi movie with the sequels its poor cousins.
Just my imo so no need to get heavy. Opinions??
