All non-kidding aside, Murc...Best Blockbuster Flick of 2003 or Best Pretentious FX Extravaganza I could understand, I loved the first one myself....then again you are still in HS, I'll give you a pass ETA: Since I haven't seen it yet myself, who knows you may be right, lol.

Cali Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Gonna see it tomorrow, I think it'll be awesome. But, I don't think a movie with Keanu 'I know Kung Fu' Reeves as the main charater could ever be the best ever for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Wow! Best EVER!? I guess I'll have to wait and see, but I just can't see it being better than "It's a Wonderful Life." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it was really kick ass. The only thing that sucked about it was getting at home at 4 am only to get back up and go to school for an 8am class. Great movie though.

The Critic Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 With all due respect, it's gonna take one HELL of a movie to bump GoodFellas out of my top spot. ...and that movie, I can safely say, will NOT star Keanu Reeves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Well to me LOTR and X2 were better then Matrix. But I've heard some people on the radio agree with Murcie's sentiments. Awesome special effects and the movie was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox4lifeinPA Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 I saw M:R today... it was much different than the first movie, it felt like they decided to change the direction of the matrix world after they did the first movie. The action was there, especially in the neo vs smith scene. This movie explains quite a bit more of story, not unlike "two towers".... make sure you stay until after the credits:) can't wait for the final movie. Side note:My brother worked on the first film. He worked for the special effects company "manex films" (no longer in opperation). I got to see clips of the movie about 8 months before it came out...good times.

Since you waited till the end of the credits too, let me ask you this, didn't it seem like that movie employed an entire city. Geeze, the damn credits took an hour or so it seemed.

sox4lifeinPA Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 I loved how the "stunt person" section took up a whole screen, yet CG was 50% of the fighting sequences:) "bullet time" was cool too see before the movie came out. I remember them not finishing the visual effects until a month before the movie came out. They worked on that film for like 2-3 years and then the company did "Kiss the Child" and went under. The employees of Manex literally walked across the lot in Alameda(the old naval base) and started the new company that worked on the 2 other films. one last thing....If you noticed there was a US crew AND an Australian crew... so it was TWO cities they employed..not one:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 I'm making a prediction, this will beat Spidey for best opening weekend, the number they have to beat for a 3 day weekend (Fri-Sun) is approx. $115 Million, I think it will obliterate it actually, and maybe, maybe crack $200 Mil for the 4 days (Thur-Sun) Maybe Also, thought it was awesome , but not the best ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI1020 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Try me....lol, lemme jus' say that my list includes Chongqing Senlin, Last Tango In Paris and Jim et Jules. And, no, I am not Pauline Kaelist, thankyouverymuch. I'm not Pauline Kael, or Siskel and Ebert or anything like that either. I am a great admirer of the late Akiro Kurosawa the great Japanese director. Rashomon is my all time favorite movie, and no I don't speak Japanese. Also liked his movie Stray Dog. My favorite American movie is High Noon the 1952 classic with Gary Cooper. The scene at the end where he throws his badge in the dirt is classic. Grace Kelly always gets to me, I can't think of a modern actress with anything close to her beauty and for the lack of a better term sex appeal. I shall stop now before eyes glaze over or start to roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall stop now before eyes glaze over or start to roll. I don't care much for Siskel or Ebert either, but Pauline Kael was the best American film reviewer in the last 50 years IMO, and two of the 3 pics I mentioned just happened to be her favorites as well, by coincidence naturally, lol...I absolutely love Kurosawa's take on King Lear- Ran...which was made largely thanks to Scorsese securing much of the financing. Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood (Fisful of dollars, The Good, bad, ugly, etc) totally ripped offf Kurosawa's Samurai Trilogy and Magnificent Seven is just Seven Samurai set in the West...not to mention that f*** King George Lucas shamelessly used The Hidden Fortress idea to make the original Star Wars without any credit or compensation whatsoever...Master Akira would be on my top 5 directors of last 50 years list easily, up there with Bergman, Kubrick, Scorsese and Triffaut. As far as regal Grace Kelly goes, ironically enough she was the biggest slut that ever slutted, a regular carnivorous man-eater, sorta like the hybrid between Julia Roberts and Wanna Ride'er....Sorry.

GASHWOUND Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Reloaded sucked :fyou I hope you're kidding The movie was worth it just for the Neo VS all the agent Smiths after he meets with the oracle! They could have just have the whole gang sit around a table and discuss philosphy for the remainder of the film...There are so slow parts in the beginning, but still a top notch film..Loved it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Clerks is one of the greatest films ever made. A complete masterpiece In case you weren't being sacrastic...Kevin Smith has a tin (or is it teen) ear for dialogue and comedy; he's coasted on cultish cuteness of Clerks humor long enough. If I have to hear another pointless cock-sucking shtick... Go away, dude, and take your infantile, repetitive, opposite-of-cool crap with you. And Ben Aflleck and Jason Lee while you're at it.

cwsox Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I am a great admirer of the late Akiro Kurosawa the great Japanese director. Rashomon is my all time favorite movie, and no I don't speak Japanese. Also liked his movie Stray Dog. I haven't seen Stray Dog, but certainly agree on Rashomon - have you seen Ran? That was incredible film making. Besides Kurosawa, I also love Robert Altman films - and I am getting into Mexican films, Y Tu Mama Tambien and Crimen de Padre Amaro were both excellent (I really, really loved Y Tu Mama Tambien). Want to see a really good film, check out Rabbit Proof Fence. I knew nothing about it when I rented it on the advice of friends and it was totally unlike what I expected - well worth seeing, I strongly recommend it.

cwsox Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Just back from seeing matrix Reloaded - maybe not the best movie ever - but fantastic special effects and far, far more Christian imagry than I expected - well worth seeing and I wouldn't mind some discussion on what it means - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
