If you like it, don’t do as I did and assume the sequel is worth seeing [/QUOTE And on the other hand, you might hate the first one and love the second one like I did.

Bah, if this were The Pit, I’d wish for your death, but seeing as how it’s the cafe, I’ll merely disagree 
I know dantheman, you just had to make a bad joke worse, didn’t you. Thanks
I didn’t think much of the first one. The second one was a little better, and I look forward to seeing the next part.
I didn’t like Gone with the Wind either though.
The main reason it took so long for me to see the movie is it didn’t strike me as my kind of movie. Now I’ve watched it, I was right. You see, I’ve got a low gross-out factor which means
the scene where the bug goes into Neo’s body through his belly button left me rather squeamish.
The effects and were fantastic, and I liked the rationale behind them. As someone who dabbles in writing, I’ve played with the idea of “what if we were just characters in someone else’s story?”

Riveting? Hardy. I’ve never watched the whole thing because every time I catch a random scene on TV, I’m forced to change channels in less than five minutes because of all that damn shrieking.
I saw it before it even opened and the buzz had started. Working at a radio stations, we go to advance screenings in a small theatre to check out movies. This sometimes lead to joint ventures with the movie company, like us handling a sneak preview and giving away tickets on the air, ASF.
So I knew nothing about it. No expectations whatsoever.
It totally blew me away, at the time.
But I can understand that when the fatigue of hearing about the movie gets to overwhelming, it’s easy to be un-impressed by the movie. I’m glad I was able to be amazed.
I’m glad you can understand. I can’t. To be “unimpressed” is to have left your brain at home in a box. Locked.
But then, I saw it 30 times in the theater, so what do I know?
Whatever. Parts of it are interesting the first time, but basically it’sa so-so imitation of Jet Li and John Woo action scenes combined with concepts so “heavy” I occupied myslef with on long trips when I was about ten, wrapped up in a cyberpunk package. Big deal. I was very sorry that I bought the DVD after initially liking it in the theater, because the action scenes look pretty tame when you’re not watching on the big screen, and all that exposition is deadly dull after one viewing.
