They got a lotta 'splaining to do after Reloaded. My enthusiasm is restrained, to say the least.
Now... Return Of The King...

Thank god I haven't seen any of those dumb powerade commericials this time. And haven't heard of a game related to it. Reloaded was a disappointment, I'm doubting revolutions will be much better. Not that that will prevent me fromseeing it, probably friday afternoon

Try to understand that Reloaded was a middle movie, and try to understand what that means too.
I have been told from ppl who have seen it that Revolutions is the best of the lot. (And I know they have seen it because they describe in great detail what the story is).

Let's see the end and get over with. The first was a masterpiece IMO but the second let me down.

Tell us poor people if it's good enough to see in theaters, just rent it, or not watch it at all  And remember, the spoiler tag is your friend

I didn't think #2 was as good as #1, but I don't see why people hated it.

I didn't hate it, but it wasn't anywhere near as good as #1, nowhere near the hype.
It took itself and its whole mythology and philosophy too damned seriously. It wasn't all that profound to begin with, but you could look past it and not miss much. #2 didn't really give you the option of ignoring all the pseudo-intellectual existential babble; moreover, the action scenes lose their appeal when we know that Neo is a demigod who can't be defeated.

Not hating it, but after #1 you were expecting something equal or more. It wasn't that. 3/4 of the movie were filled with action they could have reduced or with Zion scenery which they could hav reduced too and they compressed everything at the end where they should have expanded. And just present the whole package a bit more fine.

Careful, Salon gave it muted praise (then again, they so rarely like anything ...)

True, but they're usually right. I haven't disagreed with a Salon review yet. (BTW, they loved #2)

Salon hates everything so faint praise = a good movie
(inside joke for a fellow reader)
