I may rent it simply for the fact that I would like to also participate in the discussions here on SD.net concering how bad it supposidly sucked. However, if I had broadband (I fucking hate Del Rio), I would simple P2P myself a copy, because I don't think it's worth the five bucks and a drive to the local Blockbuster.

Yes, I'm going to buy it. I actually liked Matrix Reloaded and I haven't had a chance to see revolutions yet.

I don't know. I have the first two films and the Animatrix and I want to complete the set, but I haven't seen it and probably won't like it. I don't know, if I can find it for 10-15 bucks, maybe.

Best to wait until it hits the $6.99 bargain table.

No, and if I ever feel like having a copy I'll get someone to burn the DVD for me. No way I'm ever paying to see or own that POS.

Fuck no. I have the soundtrack already- the only good part of the movie. And I didn't pay for it either.

But my parents will probably see it in the store and buy it.

I went to see Matrix:Revolutions in the theatre for free because somebody else generously paid me to go, and it was still a fucking ripoff.

America will go metric, Rosie O'Donnell will go straight, George W. Bush will join MENSA, Osama Bin-Laden will become a Jehovah's Witness, and Rush Limbaugh will grow a conscience before I buy that worthless piece of shit movie.

Also if this mitigates things I need it for research for Cain and Abel....yeah, that's it.

I liked it and plan on getting it. It's mostly because I like the visuals not because I'm engrossed in the story. I'm definately not a completist on this one because I'm skipping the Animatrix all together.

Personally I thought it was the second movie that sucked royal ass. It has some nice visuals as well but was damn boring during several of the fight scenes. The highway chase is pretty boring on repeat viewings and, while I thought it was cool, I never got into it like some people did. Luckilly it still had Monica Bullucci in it. :shock: :)


Yes there's a lot of dumb ass shit and stuff that's very easy to find fault with in Revolutions but I like the Superman style fight at the end.


Also, juding by the voting so far someone on the board will have to be able to provide screen captures for the discussions on why it sucks so bad. :D

I didn't buy Reloaded, I'm not buying Revolutions. As far as I'm concerned,only the original will be in my collection.

The story itself pretty much sucked, but the action scenes in it weren't that bad. Well now that I think about it, the part I liked was the end fist fight (reminded me of Dragon Ball Z).

If I find it somewhere cheap I might, but I certainly won't go out rushing to buy it ... I reserve that for the West Wing season 3, should the WB ever get off their fat asses and release the fucker in Australia that is. :wink:
