Everything that has a beginning has an end... Revolutions

Was having this conversation with my friend, Seong Huat on ICQ about the Matrix Revolutions just now. Totally contains spoilers but I trust most of you guys have watched it anyway.

Simplenetic: matrix sucked so bad......

Me: okay ...better than the 2nd

S: found this worse....

M: well, still better than the 2nd lah

S:haha...to me it's kinda crappy lor....they just rip off from so many sources...sigh...

M: duh....
din u see tt right from the 1st movie...??

S: not really......but i was kinda apprehensive the moment neo flew up from the city at the end of it......
the blind messiah crap is so dune....and could have been done elsewhere....and the angel looking with the cross when he ended the fight with smith....kinda evangelion......

M: tt was okay i thought,,,
]the 1st had shades of the terminator, ghost in the machine, akira (maybe not ... i dunno), HK kungfu flicks, an attempt at david lynch weirdness... etc ...
wrapped up in some pseudo mambo jumbo tt got far worse in the 2nd...
the dune was never blind mah .,.,..

S: all those i can still accept lah...maybe it was fresh then....
and then the fight sequence....it's like the superman fight with the baddies...remeber the 3 bad guys from kryton in black?!?!?! and it also abit zhong hua yin xiong-ish....
u didn't read the whole series....

M: i read the 1st ...
i admit ...
trust me ,,,, when they come out with the new superman series...
they are gg to rip off the final fight scene

S: but i think u shld noe better than me that those sequences has been overdrawn in all those chinese comics...haha.........
donno lah...i just enjoyed this much less than the 2nd....although i did enjoy the war scenes at zion....

M: those were gd lah ...
rather exciting take on the whole "gawd no, we were swamped and we are FUCKED ..." kinda scene

S: yup....think that is the only think i enjoyed.....grrr...still can't stand the fact that they tried to pull the blind messiah crap.....although i admit the dune series take on that is kinda more "poetic"...haha...

M: fianlly ppl are seeing the wachowski brothers are someone who develops their materials from others...
they din reinvent the wheel....
but i still think Agent Smith is the baddest mofo from the 1st to the last

S: hahaha....but i hated it when he whined It's not fair......goodness.....

M: tt's a classic steven seagal villian .. heheh

S: dame crap.....smith shld go away laffing or something......
and the last part...the way the matrix was "reformatted" or in windows xp term....restored to the last working save point....was equally crap...and the young gal...she did the sunset??? goodness....

M: she's a program ...
higher than any of us mah ,...
i thk she;s macromedia flash ...
u understodd how they won right??

S: won what? basically neo connected smith to the source and the source zap a anti-virus/trojan software into smith and deleted him...and fix the infected proggies....crap...

M: fwah!!!u are the only person i spoke who realised tt ,,,,
they uploaded the Norton anti-virus into Ag-ent Sm-ith....
i bet everyone missed that pdt placement ...

S: i got it immediately........DAMN CRAPPY again.....and the oracle is basically a mutant oracle...that got deleted...but she self unerase...and self patch.....
but the farnie part was the family of indians....amazing how proggies do it....

M: heheh .,..
i wished that some of my audio software and auto re-easre so tt i can rework them man

S: donno lah...i just find the whole series is almost like a high budget b grade flick??? hahaha....i would rather they do the whole dune series....

M: i thought they did ...for cable ...
i thk Sting's acting in the original sucked so bad tt the investors are afraid to put $$ in .
hehehe

S: there's two version of the dune......i watched the one with william kurt/hurt? that one was abit like watching a stage play of the dune....the followup sequel....dune messiah was much better....although certain potrayal of certain characters was abit DOH...

M: i only like the 1st novel ... then again i only read tt ....
so...
hey, all this conversation is gg on my blog

So, remember... it was a Norton anti-virus that saved our asses. Start downloading it already!!!
