Are they drinking apple juice?

Everything we needed to know about the Matrix and the struggle between man and machine we got in the first movie. But here we are with a 4th showing up.

I guess they are trying to hide some of the plot but really it looks like a rehash of the 1st. But then they could use the excuse of "oh the matrix got rebooted" or something, since, it's like computers and stuff.


The trailer does make the movie look cheap somehow. Like it's made for TV.

[Simple Torture]

I'm going to throw out a very early prediction: young Morpheus (Yahya Abdul-Mateen) ends up being evil and/or under control of "the matrix" or whatever.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, that theory is out there.

Though the film is not as criminally poor as "V for Vendetta," which the Wachowskis wrote in 2005, it struck me as more insidious. There's something about the ululating crowds who line the action in color-coordinated rows; the desperate skirting of ordinary feelings in favor of the trumped-up variety; the confidence in technology as a spectacle in itself; and, above all, the sense of master manipulators posing as champions of the little people. What does that remind you of? You could call it entertainment, and use it to wow your children for a couple hours. To me, it felt like Pop fascism, and I would keep them well away.

not for nothing, i hate david denby's writing

V for vendetta is Fucking awesome and anyone saying otherwise is a clown.

[BurtReynolds]

Alan Moore disagrees.

V for vendetta is Fucking awesome and anyone saying otherwise is a clown.

I adore it. I wish it were twice as long.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[Strat]

I used to be obsessed with that movie.

I still am. But i used to be too

[tree_]

i'm getting less and less excited about this.. feels like a money grab (PSRMG?).. i probably will never watch it..

[JuanHamm]

Anonymous ruined V for Vendetta.

I’m just now realising I’ve met Hugo weaving and was bugging out Cos Elrond.
Never thought to ask him about v.

Well shit

[tree_]

what would you have asked him about it

[E.H. Ruddock]

"does the V really stand for vendetta?"

[dimejinky99]

I’m really excited for this.

If you don’t care for movies 2 & 3 (or somehow thought they were unnecessary), why would you expect to like this one? To me, the first 3 are just one long movie, and i enjoy them. Let’s see how they’ve taken it, but I am rooting for this one and hope it opens up a new chapter.
