Matric dvd box set review

Advantages: loads of bonus features
Disadvantages: none

This is the king of all box sets, its amazing. It has all of the matrix films plus loads of special features. Its not really for anyone who hasnt seen any matrix films yet but if your a fan its totally worth buying. Its great value for money as aswell as getting all the films you get 35 hours of special features. Overall its one of the best box sets I have ever come across and would recomend it to anyone. Its for anyone 15 years and older and inside ...

The Dark Knight - A Super-hero movie without a hero

Advantages: Heath Ledger, great special effects, some excellent scenes
Disadvantages: Batman

...enough to see yourself become the villain" The release of "The Dark Knight" was greeted with something approximating mass-hysteria by the film-watching public due to the tragic circumstances surrounding the movie. For those who happened to be on another planet at the time, Heath Ledger, who plays arch-villain "The Joker", tragically died of an apparent overdose of prescribed drugs just before release. Ledger automatically gained Kurt Cobain/James ...
...the greatest actor ever to draw breath. Co-stars and fans alike queued up to pay homage. His performance as The Joker was no longer merely acting, it was a "legacy", instantaneously elevating it into the echelons of "best villain ever status". Immediately all the press releases and film trailers focussed on The Joker rather than the supposed star, Batman. Maybe this would have been the case anyway, but the cynical mind may wonder. In short, the Ledger ...

The Matrix

...red pill and Neo enters the wonderland. The effects are great. I like this movie very much. And most of my friends also like it. it is about christianism, saving people, fighting the evil forces. humanity is in slavery and only The One can help them. The movie ends with Neo flying and somekind of rock music. The war with the machines, an actual idea. The best character is Morpheus, i think, because he is so faithfull, and trully belives in Neo. and ...

...cast, with many established British actors. It is good to see the characters in their younger incarnations before they become vital to the Batman world. The special effects are stunning and will dazzle and amaze. This is an amazing film from Christopher Nolan that definitely does the Batman franchise justice. ...

The Matrix Reloaded: Dissapointing

Advantages: Good music, Some interesting new characters
Disadvantages: Plot too complex, Emotional detachment from characters, Too much vague philosophy

As a big fan of the original I was greatly looking forward to this, however it didn't live up to the hype. My main issue was the story, I could practically hear the plot straining to be deep and profound but this falls flat on its face. The plot, which is entangled in vague philosophy ("Not how, but why"), is unnecessarily confusing and I eventually found myself wondering, does this plot make sense or is it simply that I just don't care? I actually ...
...add some new interesting characters, the twins spring to mind - however there is very little focus on them in anything other than action sequences. The enigmatic Merovingian I also found very intriguing and they did rightfully focus on him. As a quick sidenote, I didn't give a flying fig about the relationship between Trinity and Neo. I put this down largely to the fact the script didn't flesh out the characters enough as well as their rather cold ...
