The Matrix aged horribly

[pete clemenza]

Not the original

I just saw them recently, for the first time. Good stuff, but overrated. Part 2 was the best out of the 3.

Take Nolan The Gawd Movie Out Ya Mouth Boy

Can't agree, in fact, it's one of those rare movies that got everything right, a perfect storm of story, action, pacing and mythology. It's pure entertainment but it never dumbs itself down. I think the greatness is only emphasized by how movies like Inception and Sucker Punch tried to do their own version of similar themes (action thrillers within the mind/imagined world) but failed to capture that pitch perfect balance, more than ten years after the fact.

Nah I gotta disagree, the first one holds up very well and is a classic of the genre....


The first half of the second one is cool, but from there the series goes up in flames....

 

[SuburbanPimp]

The first one is still great, if you never heard about it or seen it and watched it for the first time you would still think it its a good movie today...

But the 2 that followed it still leave a bad taste in my mouth...

But the premise and the storyline on the first was excellent. The effects were cool but I was never really just at them myself

 

[Mr.Black]

1st one is a timeless sci fi classic,like ghost in the shell or dark city neither of which I still havent fully grasped after like 100 watches

 

[Kartel13]

Fukk outta here with this trash thread.

 

[Camammal]

my nikka think about this for a sec...what would action movies be today w/o the matrix? Bullet Time changed the game...the matrix made every director step their game up on how action movies were shot, That alone makes it one of the GOATs.

 

[cleanface coney]

thats cuz the movie probably went over yo head

Terminator 2 has a great engaging storyline & characters, it's graphics are but it isn't as tech reliant as the matrix.

Terminator 2? dont know what type of tv u watch it on but that joint still holds up today

 

[EA]

The decline in storyline/writing in the sequels leads me to believe that Sophia Stewart really did write the original because some of those plotholes...

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

fukk out of here dude. Terminator 2 still looks like it could've been made today. It's an insane testament to James Cameron's cinematography. Now, if you're talking about Terminator 1, I'll agree the graphics are once Arnold becomes full-robot.

and on the thread topic, the Matrix is a classic and still looks amazing to this day.

The first one is an undeniable classic. The second and third are where the debates are to be had.

The ending to the first movie is great too, when he realized he was "The One"


I liked part 2

Not just movies either, GAMES looked @ that movie like

Max Payne is basically what it is because of The Matrix
