Shortround and Capshaw are way better than some of the companions in this film, whom are given nothing to do. Shia is good though.
And Temple of Doom fucking annialates this film.

that's because, despite short round and Capshaw, ToD is awesome.

Got to agree on Kate Capshaw and Short Round. The meal scene in the Temple of Doom was one of my favourite scenes when I was eight. Seeing it recently, it just made me cringe.

Flying Yoda killed the prequels for me.Then there's Yoda...I _believe_ in Yoda when he's a puppet. When he's flying all over the place in an incomprehensible fight with Dracula, I just think how much of a fucking waste the prequels really are.
But the worst sequel ever has got to be Matrix 3 (Revolution). Half of the film you're watching robots getting scrapped in an unbelievable boring way. The other half they are demystifying the first movie.

When you saw the Architecht speech in Reloaded, you thought, "Well, that was some double-speaking enigmatic crap, but I'm sure it's leading somewhere."
NOPE.
They just lost the plot along the way...somehow they convinced themselves I gave a rat's ass about the fate of Sgt. Rock and Skateboard kid.

RELOADED piled on the mystical nonsense but I saw right through it...they were really trying to make an intellectual action movie. It didn't always work, but they tried. It tipped the balance of the series toward highfalutin academe. There's some really fun ideas that aren't really developed...like all that buisness about werewolves, vampires, etc. being part of the MATRIX story and those guys sitting there watching BRIDES OF DRACULA...I thought the Merovingian was a cool character, the freeway chase was very cool and had plenty of great stuntwork, and overall I thought it wasn't nearly the letdown everyone else did. Neither as groundbreaking or mainstream as the first one. The "burly brawl" or whatever was horrible though.
REVOLUTIONS was like they heard all the people grousing about the academic folderol and tipped it back toward pure action. So it's a pure action movie. I liked the live-action Space Invaders scene, I thought the superhero fight between Smith and Neo was cool (and showed that they should have been doing the Superman movie), and overall It thought it was fun. Trashy, but fun. Aside from the CGI, it had almost a 1989 kind of vibe to it.
Oh, and everything about Zion in all the movies is fucking horrible.
I was going to see Indy tonight, but my wife doesn't want to and my moviegoing buddy hit a deer and totaled his new car...so next week.

Since seemingly 75% of the third film focuses on Zion, that pretty much seals the deal.

I know it's freakish, but I didn't think the MATRIX sequels were nearly as bad as everyone else did.
I liked Reloaded. There was some cool stuff there. And Animatrix was great!
But Revolutions ... you may call it pure action. To me it was robots falling through a hole and getting shot up. The first movie wasn't pure action, it also had its philosphical bits, the "waking up" process and all those hacker references.
The fight between Neo and Agent Smith (in 3) had too much flying around for my tastes. When compared to the first movie, the flying is really deviant.
Why, because Skeletor hates the film?I was going to see Indy tonight, but my wife doesn't want to [...]

If RAIDERS, STAR WARS, or anything like that came out today...and just a few online pundits took shots at it...they'd fall victim to that ridiculous "everything sux" internet cynicism that plagues all media these days.

Quiet frankly though, I didn't know the Matrix sequels had such a bad reputation given I don't read movie sites. Well, as I said the second one was cool.

I did and still do enjoy RELOADED, even though honestly the third movie made it a worse film somehow...just knowing that so much of that stuff goes nowhere.
The freeway chase is incredible, though. The action scenes are top notch. One of my favorite parts is the blade and fist fight inside of a car. That must've been a bitch to choreograph.

Agreed...not only because it was itself a bad movie, but it retroactively turned Reloaded into a bad sequel!
