The Matrix vs The Matrix Sequels

[bitbomb]

The Matrix 3! Now with 40% MORE FIGHT SCENE. Oh yeah and like 30 minutes straight of battle scenes. It's like an impractically large sandwich roll with a wheel of cheese on it and a bucket of mayo, but only a couple of slices of roast beef. Sure I dig it ok, but it's not exactly gourmet. Or nutritious.

The music was absolutely awful in the sequels. Not the ambient stuff but the fight music. The burly Brawl scene sums those movies up. CHEESEBALL music, and too much fighting. And the hamhanded music cues on EVERYTHING. Every single time someone jumped or like looked or picked up a cheeseburger the music had to be right there to MAKE IT DRAMATIC. Anyway. The Matrix is undoubtedly among the greats in film history. It took so much influence from so many fantastic works with so much respect for the original, and created something really new. Big ups.

2 and 3 only had enough substance for 1 movie. I would LOVE to see that. Trim the fat, carefully chop the fight scenes down so you no longer get sick of them halfway through, gloss over that ridiculous rave scene (it would have been excusable in the '80s), etc. etc. etc, just get down to business. The meat, with a tasteful amount of fluff. That would be a mammoth project, if I do it some day I'll let you (who the fuck are you?) know.
