Re: want to see a movie. recomendations?
 

let me get this straight, Fallout 2 which came by '96 or '98 (i forget which) had SkyNet which was a part of the full picture.

Is SkyNet is an actual military super-computer? (cuz thats what it was there - found at Sierra Military Base http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif ) or is it an invention?

Thats WAY OT but i wanna know.

I didn't think T3 or M2 were _bad_ in other ways - they had a few good points and Hollywood has done FAR worse. But someone could have done a lot better. They really should have had Cameron write and direct T3, I think, judging from the weak points compared to T & T2.

As for The Hulk, I think if they were going to animate it like a superball, they should have invented a new character called Superball Man. Then it'd be slightly fresh and the animation would make more sense.

Note: Movie spoilers...

Actually I thought that the portrayal of The Hulk in the movie in terms of looks and abilities was actually pretty close to the comics. And even if the actual details of the plot differ from the comics, the spirit of it remains pretty faithful.

As for Matrix Reloaded, I think most people here are underestimating it. Certainly, in some ways, it lacks the visual power of the original (no M2 equivalent of a scene as instantly memorable as the lobby shootout scene), but the plotline is interesting in many ways and makes some rather intriguing references, i.e. Merovingian, Seraph, calling rogue programs werewolves, vampires etc.

Besides, who can forget:

I wasn't a Hulk fan before I was bombarded by the latest Hulk hype, and I'm not a huge CGI movie fan either, so I guess I'm not really the target audience.

I thought most of the Matrix 2 effects were quite good. Good enough to recommend it to action fans for those sequences. I just thought it could have been better done in terms of pacing, timing, direction, mystery, suspense, plot, exposition. Though as I said, it had some good points too. Same sorts of feelings towards T3.
