The idea of subverting the genre is interesting but from your telling it sounds very much like it becomes a story of martyrdom, which is a powerful genre all its own 102211@blogcritics.org Tue, 7 Dec 2004 15:32:39 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/12/06/203623.php#comment-102174 You know, I loved all three movies. There's a reason for it though. I didn't undersdtand them. I was lost by the second film. That just let me sit back and have fun with them. People seem to think these are supposed to life changing films, when all they are is a mix of various action genres. The first movie set up the world, the sequels have fun with it and let us see things we haven't seen before. Are you telling me that the fight with the twins wasn't spectacular? Just don't think of these movies are being so philosophical (sp?). Just have fun with them. By the way, the other limited edition box set is awesome. Neo bust, 80-page book, and insanely cool disc holder. It's expensive, but worth it. 102174@blogcritics.org Tue, 7 Dec 2004 11:27:25 EST
