The Matrix Trilogy

[Eggyman]

Hmm, Bale as an uncompromising hardarse. I'm sure the Hollywood suits have already witnessed this

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yes but they must witness it again!

I think I just had certain expectations from the sequels that would have never been met.

And that's why I think the sequels get too much unnecessary hate. I loved them. They make for great stories and a great trilogy. I really wish that some time in the future, they actually revisit the Matrix universe and complete some of the storyline, maybe even start a new one.

i am cursing the day when they will announce the matrix reboot.

you know that it will happen.

Ugh. If only they would stop using that word like people don't understand it just means REMAKE.

 

[Alien Anal]

i watched the matrix the other night and it occurred to me what made the sequels not so good

the first matrix looked so low budget and cheap it was like watching a 20 yr old indie Australian film but with amazing sfx

the sequels just looked like Hollywood action movies

We've been through this before, I think

Reboot and remake are different. They only mean the same thing if people use them incorrectly.

A reboot is where they take the characters and maybe a general idea, and then they give it a fresh story.

A remake is basically just remaking the same film/story but updated.

Reboot = Batman Begins - familiar characters but with new story.

Remake = Poseidon - same film, ship turns upside down... same characters, new FX.

 

[Gilpesh]

We've been through this before, I think

And you weren't able to change my mind then.

I'm using this definition of the word remake:
to make again in a different way,
To make again or anew.

you are utterly crazy. nothing about that movie looked cheap or low-budget.

Sorry i cant tell if you are joking or not?

 

[TwoOfAKind]

The 1st Matrix is far from low-budget or cheap it still holds up really well to todays standards.

 

[Alien Anal]

Thats why i said it LOOKED low budget

I understand its not an actual low budget film but the grittiness and graininess of the camera looked similar to low budget films, that over saturated home camera almost sort of thing

the 2 sequels looked like typical hollywood films

 

[Eggyman]

I agree with Anal. It had a feel of a modern B-movie, slightly cultish and experimental - the grain and the colour pallet made it so.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Out of the trilogy, The first one stands out as The Best in the series .

[luca_frontino]

Why WB didn't push into production a 4th movie, since the sequels made almost 1,163 millions worldwide, from a combined production budget of 237 millions and 100 millions for prints and marketing cost?

if I was scripting the sequels

a) there would be no agent smith - totally no need for him

b) the machines would revive the previous 'one' very similar to how kanada attempted to revive akira.

c) the movie would be split into two parts
1. the real world with the machines trying to destroy zion

2. the matrix, with neo removing the illusion of the matrix i.e. he would fly up to a building and show the matrix code behind it

d) all out battle in the matrix between neo and the previous 'one'

the big flaw with the sequels is you never really feel a threat unlike the original movie where neo, trinity and morpheus seemed to be fighting a losing battle. neo had become too powerful and instead of making the threat rise to neo they lowered neo to the level of the threat 'hmm...upgrades'

the only thing I would have left from the sequels in the machines siege of zion which is well done, I would totally redo what happens IN the matrix and I would redo what happens in the machine world

 

[The Executioner]

Take out Agent Smith in the sequels?....why??..He was Neo's archenemy, thats like taking Darth Vader out of Star Wars...Smith was too good to let go after thed fist movie. If anything they should of never made sequels in the first place. And their was no way to do a 4th film when Neo was dead and the war was over after the 3rd movie.

 

[redhawk23]

Ugh. If only they would stop using that word like people don't understand it just means REMAKE.

it doesnt have to. Batman Begins, and Star Trek are not remakes.

Casino Royale isn't either, just another adaption of the first book.

the word reboot is way over and misused though.

 

[dude stannis]

No reboot, The Wachowski's should direct The Second Renaissance instead.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Someone should remake the sequels only.

No need to remake the first Matrix movie. It's still perfect.

 

[bullets]

They've done enough with the Matrix and should just move on .

darth vader wasn't killed at the end of new hope, bringing smith back cheapens his demise at the end of the first movie

I can see what your saying but without Smith who would of gave Neo a serious challenge.
