Default Re: OT: Matrix

Let me add my 2 cents here:

Of the 4 Alien movies, 3 was definitely the worst. As mentioned below, they tried to do the first movie again, and it didn't work. If you had read the history of the script, it would have been more like 2, but then the Berlin Wall fell, and no one thought people would be interested in the original script. I know Joss Wheeden (?) got involved in rewriting the script. They should have left it alone.

As far as the Last two Matrix movies, they were good, but too long and not very clear (IMO). I've only seen them once apiece. I'll need to watch the dvd to get a better understanding as Neo is talking to the Architect of the history of the other Ones. And on first viewing on 3, I thought Neo had survived, but after talking to a few people, they convinced me that he had died. I'll have to watch it again when the dvd comes out.

As far as the Superman movies, I think that I and II are great. And the rest stink. I can't even watch 4 anymore. It's so terrible. I wish Kevin Smith's script for the proposed new movie would have survived. I'd trust his storytelling more than anyone else, but when they hired Tim Burton to direct it, he threw out that script. And eventually he and Nicholas Cage got thrown out of the project. Still don't know if they're going to make a fifth movie. At least they're going for a fifth Batman movie. Hope it's good.

As far as my least favorite movies, well, I already mentioned Superman 4, and it seems General Woundwort and I both hate Highlander 2. Another movie I don't ever watch is Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Once was too much for that movie. Don't remember ever seeing Eraserhead, so I'll reserve judgement on that movie until I see it.
