Saw both of these trailers last night--newer ones than previoulsy shown. X Men aint fuckin around this time. Looks leaner and meaner and Matrix looks more epic. Some people clapped at the end of Matrix trailer. I think Matrix will end up the winner due to X Men being relegated to the cominc book ghetto so to speak even though its extremely popular while Matrix is for general sci-fi fans which has a greater population. Lucky for all who dig them both

I really liked both movies! I didn't think I would like X-Men, but I ended up really enjoying it. I haven't seen the trailer for Matrix yet, but just caught the one for X-Men a few days ago. Hopefully, these won't be a disappointment.

i remember when i first saw the original Matrix... when it was over, i thought "wow, that's the greatest comic book movie ever made" ... even though it wasn't one


fuck the Matrix. X-Men all the way... .

I didnt like X Men that much and then Matrix tore shit up..and I think X Men creators learned form that and their last performance so trhey upped the ante on this one. Good. Woverine has a female ounterpart to fight with hehehe..and they tell him to drop the knives and he says "I cant"
Even Storm (Halle) is getting badass in this one

AaronSuperior said:

yeah I can see that happening--I have the dvd and only watched it once or maybe twice so its still not overplayed in my mind..I gotta get XMen (ducks). I got Matrix because when it came out is when I got my dvd player and that was one of those dvd must haves to shpow the performance of your player as well as a badass flick

rdhull said:

i've seen the trailer. X-Men is my shit. for life

X-men surprised me; it was good.

But The Matrix was an actual Kung Fu movie, on many levels, not just the moves.

Matrix.

For life?..for-eva? for-eva, eva?

Karate movie meets sci-fi

I liked X-men the same way i liked Blade. Matrix is in a whole different league. I look forward to seeing both. And i hope their followup movie is better than Blades part 2(which was good but was missing something).

SuperC said:

I read that Blade2 wasnt very good.

rdhull said:

Had been done by Blade already

SuperC said:

Yep..my mistake.

AaronSuperior said:

We have reached an egreement here Aaron (see, that's possible): I really don't like the Matrix because there is nothing new about it (Carpenter made it all before with they Live i think...): to me it's the prototype for the teen SF movie...

I really dig X-men and its sequel much, much more...

I really loved the original Matrix when it first came out.

But since then, everything looks like it. It seems old hat now.

And the footage I've seen of the sequel on TV looks awful. X-Men 2 however looks much more promising.

Matrix seems more true to the Kung Fu style--the hero gets so good that no one can touch him. Blade could get beat up...

teller said:

Neo got his ass kicked a few times in the movie. He won in the end like Blade.

SuperC said:

Well...he wasn't truly "Neo" until the end, when he began to believe--then no agent could fuck with him. Blade, on the other hand, just had a merely successful ending.

teller said:

He always was Neo, he was just waiting for love(from trinity) to spring him. We'll see if he is invincible in the new matrix.

SuperC said:

Yes...actually if he gets his ass kicked even ONCE in the new Matrix, I will consider the film a failure.

Neo got his ass kicked several times in the Matrix

rdhull said:

Not after he became NEO.

teller said:

You mean after he became The One, but true. But nothing is ever foolproof

Plus Neo is only bad in the matrix. In real life Blade would kick his ass with ease. :LOL:

Matrix would kick x men azz

SuperC said:

"so exciting"-Blade

rdhull said:

I love that line. And "you..do..not..know..who..you..are...phucking with"

That's true...but that's like asking if a lightsaber could cut through Superman's arm. JediMaster says it could not, I say it could.
