hitman20 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 The Matrix Revolutions Countdown:*Only 7 days until one of the best scores (I?ve heard in a while anyway) comes out.*Only 8 days until one of the most anticipated finales of the year comes out. *I expect big things from this movie, especially since the movie studio is opting for the Matrix Revolutions to be in the Oscar Nominations (if it gets it) rather than Reloaded.*I already expect The Matrix series to be the highest grossing ?R? rated trilogy ever. It may even out do some previous trilogies. *I am looking forward to seeing this movie much more than Return of the King, but will undoubtedly see it anyway.*My question is: What else does everyone expect (or doesn?t expect) out of this movie? What about the score? Will this movie be better than Return of the King? Sounds like a poll to me?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxman717 22 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hmmmm............you can't really compare The Matrix trilogy to the Lord of the Rings trilogy...........especially not the final parts to the trilogies!They are both very different in their settings, and yet are epic on the same scale. I cannot choose between them. While I know what is going to happen in Return of the King, that just makes the anticipation that must greater for me, as I know just how amazing the movie has to be to cover all the incredible scenes in Tolkien's final book. Seeing this final chapter brought to life in the same grand style that the first two movies were brought to life will be one of the most satisfying movie experiences of my life, if not THE most satisfying.Then there's Matrix Revolutions................honestly, I was not amazingly excited when The Matrix Reloaded was coming out. I mean, I liked the first movie, thought it was cool and original, but wasn't insanely excited about the sequel coming out. Then I saw the Architect scene where everythign I thought I knew about the films and the plot just got completely turned upside down and all of a sudden, I had no idea WTF was going on, or who to believe. That scene, combined with the brilliance of the Highway Scene, made the trilogy for me. It has excited me to no end for this final film. I have NO IDEA how they could possibly end things now. The fact that this is a new story to me, where the ending is unknown to me, makes this equally as exciting as the release of Return of the King.Imagine this.........within a month and about a weeka dn a half, we'll have two of the most highly-anticipated and grandest endings of trilogy sagas ever to be released in the history of film. That is absolutely incredible. It may happen just one other time, in 2005, when we get blessed with Star Wars Episode III and Indiana Jones 4 within 2 months of each other (May and July 2005), and we'll have Williams scores to accompany both of those (!!!!!!!) but for right now, this next month or two will be the most amazing time for movies.Here's to BOTH Return of the King AND Matrix Revolutions!!! In 1 week, I will be in line for a midnight showing!!!!!! And to think, I have a 9:05AM class the next morning.........hmmmmmm............well it is worth it LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskobolus 3 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'll be at a press screening for Revolutions. I'm looking forward to it. But as good as Revolutions will be, Return of the King will be far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I'd rather see Timeline with the BT score than any one the poll. Like most films I've seen lately I hope this one won't be filled with pointless and bad CGI, or filled with alot of psuedo religious psychobabble.Looney Tunes ought to be the biggest film Joe Dante has had in a while, and you can bet the score by JG will sound just like Gremlins, Small Soldiers, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Longbottom 0 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I am not "looking forward to" both LOTR and MATRIX, but while I am not going to see any MATRIX any more, I will go see the closure of the Lord of the Rings. Hey, I spent my money on first two films and scores, so I'll better be there for the RotK! I need to know whether things can get any more boring than in Two Towers. I'm frank about my emotions, sorry to you the fans of it.As to the soundtrack to Return of the King, I will likely get it, regardless of what I said about it a few days back. Now I know the LOTR thingy is "have it or leave it". And as I don't want to get rid of it thanks to "In Dreams", I'll complete up the collection and then perhaps complain about it short after, but that's me...... 8OSure it eats me to go and support the growth of sold tickets of LOTR, but what? One less or more, it can't matter much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's not comparing is he, he's saying which he'd rather see. I mean god, it's easy to pick which of 2 films you'd like to see no matter how different.Like most films I've seen lately I hope this one won't be filled with pointless and bad CGI, or filled with alot of psuedo religious psychobabble. CGI is just as valid as old school methods, mate. And yes psuedo religious psychobabble is annoying, but revolutions actually dealt with other things mostly than religion. Anyway, I certainly want to see LOTR at the cinema, Matrix is not worth it I'll just download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Austria, it won't be release theatrically until the 20th of November. I obviously won't bother to watch it there, but instead invite a few friends over to watch the DVD. The only question is if that'll happen before the 20th, which depends mainly on when DV-Depot get the TTT:EE. Marian - impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CYPHER 1 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I finally saw The Return of the King trailer last night and it looks pretty spectacular. It'll hopefully make up for what I thought was a fairly lacklustre and uninspired The Two Towers. Certainly I'll be seeing The Matrix Revolutions when it comes out but my hopes are not high. I can't even remember what happened in Reloaded and that was only a couple of months ago! Eh, its all a load of balderdash in any case, right? I looking forward to getting X-2 more than any of these new filmsWhoo-hoo! This looks great too.CYPHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaphor123 0 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Well, uh, I have to be frank here.Matrix: Reloaded was pretty awful. I thought the first movie was OK, but this one was boring, pretentious and disjointed. And the score! I laughed out loud at some points. Not a good thing unless the score is meant to be a parody.Needless to say, I'm looking forward far more to The Return of the King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, a part of me really wants to see how the new direction of Harry Potter will go with Cuaron at the helm of the film instead of Columbus. I am really hoping for a dark film with a much darker score. So I have my fingers crossed. Oh, and I hope I can see the HP trailer when I go to see Revolutions next week.

Well OK I totally agree there. In fact I was even going to make a similar comment myself. However, that was not the point. The point is we NEVER KNEW SW: Episode I was going to be a P.O.S. before it came out. We all thought it was going to be the FILM OF THE CENTURY and judging by the intitial trailer you'd friggin think it was. I mean sure if we all knew SW1 was going to be lame we would've never shown up to see it, but we didn't. Thats the thing. -Rogue Leader who will also be seeing Master and Commander.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 I'm not excited about Matrix or LOTR. I'll see both, probably a week or so after the opening.I don't want to say what I'm looking forward to, because this year I've been surprised by movies I thought would be duds ("School of Rock") and disappointed by ones I thought would be surefire hits ("Matrix Reloaded").Jeff -- hoping there is a real Oscar contender within the next two months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 I think 'The Human Stain' deserves a couple of acting nods, for Hopkins and Harris. It also does a good job of making an unbelievable twist seem believable, and even likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
