i saw a certain movie this morning that has much hype.
i loved the first one very much. saw it 3 times opening day/weekend. and likewise im gonna need a few more viewings to wrap my head around this one. it is a lot to take in, visually and contextually. i wont make a review yet or give any spoilers, YET. but id just like to give my initial impressions: [note: no spoilers but if you havent seen it i suggest you dont keep reading. you should not care what other people think before you see it. what they say will totally fuck up your perspective on it]
i hate hype. hype kills shit. this had too much hype. i am know for seeing shit opening day but i pretested the hype and saw it this moring. which is still opening weekend. but i have been seeing people either love it or are really disappointed with it. me? i liked it. i wanna write shit about it but its too soon. its now almost 12 hours after seeing it and im still thinking about it. i need to see it more.
just some notes though. some of the action scenes that were touted as the key scenes were eh. some of the lesser touted action scenes were better. maybe i just feel that way because they werent spoiled. but i do have to say that the motercycle scene is the best of its kind. never has there been a better motercycle chase scene. and mission impossible 2 was great. i also was a bit miffed about all these new characters. yeah new characters are cool but when you see them on every magazine cover and article and ad youd expect to see them more than three minutes of them. im pretty sure i got an erection in one scene. the scene was hot and i am a geek that has a crush on trinity. hmm what else..... i think this one is more of a mind fuck. i didnt want to break my breain trying to take it all in the first time i sw it. so when it got heavey i kinda wasnt paying too much attention. man i really do have to see it again. i had issues. and there are all these theroies and shit were were coming up with afterwards that we were too geeked out and had to stop. but yeah sorry this article sucks but i dont want to say anything to screw up you guys that havnt seen it and i still dont know about it as a whole yet. i enjoyed it a lot but its still in my mind as individual scenes. which is maybe a bad things. some of these scenes and pacing were kind of abrupt, and others i felt were pointless or too long.
what i really am excited though is getting the animatrix DVD coming out soon. there were things referenced in the movie that had to do with some of the animatrix storylines. and the videogame. hell yeah. from what i hear i already love it. screw gameplay, im playing thsi one for the story. niobe and her crews storyline is liek 10% in the movie and 90% in the game. if you havent heard the game is not a videogame version of the movie. it is its own story line that parrallels the time line of the movies. like what was this character doing when we were watching these other characters in the movie. sounds great.
well more later i guess
