The Matrix: Reloaded opened last weekend. I wanted to see it. It looked like a fun, exciting movie and I like the Matrix universe. Every once in a while, I still watch The Matrix. Maybe the hype just got to me.
Instead of seeing Reloaded, Some friends and I went to Down With Love. It was fun. It was exciting.
It wasn't The Matrix. There were no fight scenes. I was dissapointed. I still wanted to see the Matrix. Oh well, I got voted down.
It really was a fun movie, done up in the '60s style with outrageous costumes and wild sets. They went to far with the sets though, almost to the point where the sets seemed hollow. The writing was interesting, but the actors didn't seem to be taking the movie seriously. They were characters that knew they were spoofing another genre. They even seemed to be winking at the audience at times, as if to ask, "Did you get it? That was a joke!"
I got it, thanks. It wasn't too funny.
The split screens were neat (and a bit of a rip off of Austin Powers), but went too far for a proper spoof. Those scenes wouldn't have been allowed in a true 1960's Rock Hudson/Doris Day movie.
It is a fun movie, but can't even take itself seriously.
