5/24 MMC does the Matrix: Reloaded. The MMC studiously avoided all pre-viewing hype so the ending, such as it is, was a bit of a surprise and a disappointment. M:R was enjoyable as a simple high action flick although the interminable dance scene and Morpheus' endless speeches on his favorite and only topic were very heavy handed. Go for the action, ignore the rest. --MMC \_ fuck off. you are just as idiotic as real critics, except you don't get paid to do it. just fuck off. really. \_ This news is two weeks old. Who cares? |
