^ wasn't the point that most of the western world was turning into a shithole, but england sold it's soul so to speak and traded poverty/collapse for fascism? Doesn't seem like too much of a stretch that a major nation could implode in a relatively short amount of time.

hahahaha yea

I was referring to the fact that a nation with tremendous natural resources is far less likely to become poverty stricken in 20 years (as oposed to a tiny island nation with nothing but coal and potatoes)................ it wasn't really a comment as to the movie's (or comics) plot.

and yes, it does seem highly unlikely that the US would fall apart in 20 years. But of course it was just a movie and none of this really matters. If anyone goes and sees it, they should just take it at that.

overall 7.5/10 in my book.

3/20/2006 11:46:07 AM

since I havent read the comic, I am eagerly awaiting Froshkiller's next post

3/20/2006 2:07:24 PM

I avoided the hell out of the book so that I could enjoy the movie. And I did. Now I want to read the book, because the movie's ending left me a little flat for reasons I can't quite explain.

3/20/2006 2:40:52 PM

i saw it last night and really enjoyed it, as did my girlfriend which was an added bonus. hugo weaving is the fucking man. i swear he's one of the top 5 actors in hollywood (or wherever he's based).

3/20/2006 2:57:11 PM

yes definitely enjoyed this movie. the explosions set to the "1812 Overture" was a nice touch as well.

3/20/2006 3:05:17 PM

ah, born in nigeria

Good film, but don't go into it expecting a tremendous amount of action like I did (all that Wachowski brothers hype), it's actually a pretty slow movie. Worth 5.50 though.

[Edited on March 20, 2006 at 3:09 PM. Reason : bleh]

3/20/2006 3:08:08 PM

yeah, I described it to a friend of mine as a drama that just happens to have some action in it, not an action movie though

3/20/2006 3:59:56 PM

My boyfriend and I went this afternoon.
I thought it was great for reasons that have been stated everywhere, so I won't rehash.

And Revolutions was my favorite Matrix movie. Just gettin' that out there.

3/20/2006 7:32:00 PM

only a female would say that one of the sequels was better then the matrix


this movie was fairly cool, good to know the wachowski's werent one-hit wonders w/ the matrix I

and i thought the two matrix sequels both sucked

3/21/2006 1:42:24 AM

I thought it was awesome
My roomate was kind of offended by it because she felt the allegory was 'radical'
but other then some cheesy (slow dancing) and dialouge
it kicked ass.

3/21/2006 1:50:31 AM

saw it tonight liked it alot.

3/21/2006 2:05:36 AM

Yeah, I really liked this movie. I liked it that they went with a character and source material that were fairly significant deviations form the super-hero norm.

3/21/2006 12:47:48 PM

well at least she didn't say reloaded

3/21/2006 1:25:08 PM

Did anyone go see it last night at crossroads and hear that beer bottle roll down several rows of seats before it finally smashed??


and i thought it was a really good movie. i'd see it again.

3/21/2006 2:20:02 PM

^ thats why these ppl need to learn and take a water bottle full of vodka in and add it to their soda. best way to get fucked up in a movie theater without all the mess and hassle of beer bottles. tho, it does tend to smell REALLY strong to those not drinking it.

3/21/2006 2:36:40 PM

vodka and coke...

3/21/2006 3:09:57 PM

Ok, I can see enjoying a beer while at the movies, but do you really have to get hammered that bad that you cant wait 2 hours and have to sneak vodka in??? I mean, why not just stay home or go to a bar and get hammered?

3/21/2006 3:20:21 PM

When can we discuss the movie without risking a spoilers?

Give them a week to see it or something?

3/21/2006 11:30:25 PM

generally if i want to see a movie without spoilers, i don't read the movie topic until after i see it.

3/22/2006 12:57:43 AM

^

exactly

when did people start worrying about fucking spoilers in a thread about a RELEASED MOVIE based on a DECADES OLD COMIC SERIES


[Edited on March 22, 2006 at 1:14 AM. Reason : `]

3/22/2006 1:13:41 AM

Saw it and for the most part I loved it. I thought it had good pacing and it wrapped things up well.

3/22/2006 11:35:11 AM

i missed the first 10 minutes of the movie which pissed me off

found the movie extremely confusing and pointless at times

found the v character's persona kind of cheesy

enjoyed the knife fight scene at the end

might have to watch it again before i can say whether i like it or not

^^haha, that's great.

I think the first 10 minutes of a movie are usually extremely important

3/23/2006 10:31:09 AM

I liked it, would go see it again to catch missed points.

3/23/2006 12:53:47 PM

^I saw it again last night and...

Don't read ahead if you haven't seen it and want to read what might be considered a spoiler!!!!![b]

....the prison scene....I realize that the guy who is questioning her is wearing gloves all the time, and his face is always hidden in the shadow, but not in the scene where he throws her around with the water. And the gloves are see through and don't look like Toxic Avenger's hands, they look normal. Now I know that they have shown that V has great "make-up" skill by fooling the police near the end of the movie, but is he that great with throwing his voice too? he sounds nothing like V when interogating natalie portman's character (except for that last part) ...and she would have been able to see his face in the scene where she is being thrown around..

SO WHAT I'M ASKING IS....

Does anyone who read the comics know if V has other accomplices that you don't really get to see in the movie? I mean, does he just have a pet rat that he keeps in the cells? Does he feed this rat too? Or does anyone have their own ideas on how he made the prison scenes work for him?

3/23/2006 1:29:06 PM

^ yeah i kinda wondered that too honestly. i thought the main interrogator was someone different and V didnt come in until the very end. i could be wrong tho...

3/23/2006 2:16:25 PM

yeah, i mean, there's several possibilites, and im not saying either would be stupid, but they kinda just decided not to say.

i mean, thats cool too

[Edited on March 23, 2006 at 2:19 PM. Reason : .]

3/23/2006 2:18:44 PM

uhm

1. if you didn't know that was V simply by the way they were lighting the interrogations/tortures, i feel sorry for you

2. his voice probably sounds different because it wasn't coming from behind a mask

3. dude is deep in vaudevillian shit, he probably is a masterful ventriloquist

3/23/2006 2:21:51 PM

i thought it was creedy honestly that was interrogating her. it didn't occur to me it was V until the last visit he made when i saw the outline of agent smith

3/23/2006 2:28:23 PM

but more importantly,

does he keep that rat as a pet?

that's just weird

3/23/2006 2:36:19 PM

disection? thats would require thought and research. it wasnt a joke to me, because it makes no sense based on the facts that many people know. im not the only one who didnt laugh.
