^I found it a bit boring actually. Despite the praise for his acting, I didn't think Daniel Day-Lewis' character seemed like a real person at all .. The accent, demeanor and other things which didn't stick too deep seemed a little over the top to me at times.

I actually enjoyed the second one, maybe more than the first. It had some crazy action scenes and a lot of great gags. I was ticked off by the cliffhanger ending though.

The third film made absolutely no f*cking sense, I couldn't follow it all and it was just a big noisy mess.

He was over the top, but that made it a more compelling performance for me. Some actors can make overracting a good thing, I think DDL is one of them.

Really? The movie was a great mismatch of sci fi conventions, resulting in something quite new. As an action film it was really tense, the story was very well done, much so that you actually start to care about these mutant shrimp people.

And I thought the protagonist was awesome, certainly not your typical sci fi action hero.

American Beauty is essentially my favorite film.

Super High Me, watched it on Netflix. If you have ever seen Super Size Me, it's like that except he stops smoking Weed for 30 days, then does it nonstop for 30 Days. It's a really funny movie, and you will learn a thing or two.

They weren't the crazy movie revolution that the original was, but they were really entertaining and concluded the story. I will defend those movies until the end, so if another debate occurs, then it occurs...

The main problem I had with Reloaded and Revolutions was the really weird religious undertone involving Neo and being "the one". I understood he was always going to be a martyr, but they didn't have to turn him into Jesus. Overall though, the action was still just as cool as the old films, but the dialougue became monotonous and booooooring.


Also, I just started watching Michael Moore's new movie Capitalism: A Love Story in my history class, and I've really enjoyed it so far.

I tried to watch Avatar last night. I couldn't make it through to the end though, it was just too bad. It looks good, but beyond that, there are few redeeming qualities to the film. I could've watched it on mute and gotten the same experience. So glad I didn't waste the money to see it in theaters.

In my opinion, seeing it in 3-D was the only way to see it.

Unless you have a huge tv....

I just thought the hero wasn't very likable. He starts out as some pseudo-nazi and then becomes a jew. I had little compassion for him.
