seriously, why did everyone talk shit when the last two matrix movies came out? i’ll admit, they’re not quite the first one, but how could they ever be? the first matrix was so mind-bogglingly revolutionary that no sequel could have that amount of shock value.

that said, the sequels are both incredible movies that stand on their own. the second one has the craziest car chase ever filmed, and some badass fight sequences (weapons @ the merovingian’s, anyone?). i just finished watching the third film which, contrary to popular belief, actually goes a long way to resolving the entire series and in my opinion, in a way that very much fits with the themes of the first two. oh, and then people complained about trinity’s death sequence taking too long—wtf? its trinity for fuck’s sake! you panzies couldn’t get enough of her in all that leather in the first two movies. what, so now that she’s got a man, and wants to take a whole five minutes to say a proper goodbye, you’re all booin her off the stage?! screw you guys.

c’mon, watch em again, i garauntee you find yourself thinking, "holy shit—was i wrong, this joint is sick!" or ya know, however you’d say it.
