I'm dying of laughter. I guess when you're 15 Matrix comes off as deep and smart... I suggest watching a bit more movies before acting superior with me because I watch popcorn movies oO Edit : to be more accurate, having lots of references everywhere has never made anything deep... | ||

Matrix is a great movie, I mean why else would it be on probably 90% of the top lists for Sci-fi/fantasy. Don't have to be a brain surgeon to know it's a great movie | ||

I'll live with it and keep on believing Bergman and Tarkovski are better than the Wachowski's and that Georges Delerue and Morricone are better composers than Hans Zimmer. ohhhhh i forgot we lived in a world where if someone is better than someone that automatically makes the other person bad, i guess anyone whose not Michael Jordan or Lebron James must suck at basketball /soundprooflogic | ||

people please, don't feed the troll. i'll quote another guy that replied to him: On December 20 2012 06:47 BliptiX wrote: 4 out of 10 sounds about right. That places it in line with Piranha 3DD (but only because you're a Tolkien fan, phew). I think you need to seriously rethink your rating scale. So amusing, us plebes. | ||

There are tons of better science fiction movie out there. The fact that it's on a ton of lists by people who don't know much about cinema is irrelevant. A movie's popularity and its quality are two different things, I'm sure you'll agree. Matrix is popular (and not bad really).

From what I've seen the Wachowski's are not totally untalented, but they haven't make any really good movie. Matrix 1 isn't bad, but acting like it's a really smart movie is pretty amusing, especially as the two following movies show how little thought there was in this universe. It's not a bad movie at all, but it's really not among the most intelligent blockbusters I've seen, and I'm limiting it to blockbusters to be nice... Edit : to the very smart post above, I agree with plenty of people, and I don't have any problem with that. I like plenty of blockbusters... But that seems hard to comprehend. | ||

Would recommend to anyone who loves gun fights, blood, and just typical bad-assery I just watched it too and found it really nice. I loved the over saturated colors ! | ||

Punch: 9/10 very good movie. had it's funny moments and was pretty lighthearted, though it was a somewhat serious story. I thought all the acting was really good, and I liked that it didn't depress me. I would recommend it for someone looking for a nice story without any super heavy drama. doesn't take a whole lot of investment or heavy thinking and will leave you feeling nice and warm inside. See You After School: 8/10 pretty hilarious in some parts. real lighthearted and enjoyable film. would recommend it if you want a very straightforward, funny movie. The Yellow Sea: 9/10 dark film. not a lot of happiness in this movie, but the story and acting were superb and at the end you really get a sense of what they were going for. was extremely violent, and quite graphic. one thing that really hurt it, IMO, was that some of the sex scenes were graphic as hell, but they were pretty short and I guess they served a purpose. (not a big fan of sex scenes, even when they have a purpose. I usually think it's lazy story-telling) I would only recommend it if you like violent, psychological movies and don't mind being depressed. (make sure you stay after the first thirty seconds of credits. won't spoil it, but it helps explain one specific event that can be kind of confusing) Mafia, The Salesman: 8/10 was funny and definitely didn't drag at all. some of the subtitles were slightly confusing, but I got the main gist of it I think. would recommend it to someone looking for a fun, simple movie that doesn't waste any time. Barking Dogs Never Bite: 9/10 dark comedy that succeeded in every aspect. wasn't hilarious, but some of it had me laughing out loud, and it was definitely clever, if you know what I mean. kind of understated and some of the parts made me kind of uncomfortable. it's hard to hate the main character even though he is totally hate-able. leading lady did an excellent job, and is pretty in her own way. wouldn't recommend it if you have serious problems with violence against pets or if you want a laugh-out-loud, thigh-slapping romp. really reminded me of Lost in Translation for some reason. if you want a smart, understated, dark comedy I would definitely recommend it. | ||

I guess I'm partial to inception for the characters and actors telling what I thought was a more well thought out story, but the more I compare the two the more I'm convincing myself they're the same movie. moreover I think the whole showy-ness idea is the draw of both films, and done exceptionally well on both. | ||

I thought Inception was a little better just in the way they threw in little tidbits that replicated dream sequences in the "real" parts of the movie. though I didn't particularly like either movie, and I really hated some of the parts of both. | ||
