Jake Gittes Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 How could I forget the Wachowskis. I'll take the Matrix sequels and Speed Racer over 95% of summer blockbusters made in 2000s, and Cloud Atlas over 99% of movies released last year. They really aren't getting nearly enough recognition. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Zemekis won best director though. Hes highly regarded. His animated movies are pretty underrated, I can't even understand how The Polar Express is rotten on RT Edited September 9, 2013 by Goffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really aren't getting nearly enough recognition. Matrix Reloaded is pretty good on its own but pales in comparison to the original. Revolutions is just a very weak movie even if you view it in isolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 If you cut a couple scenes out of Reloaded and trim a couple more down, it's actually a pretty good movie. The problem is that Revolutions did a crapfart job of resolving the plotlines and thematic issues brought up in in Reloaded that it drags the middle film down with it.

rukaio101 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 How the hell are the Wachowskis underrated? They're quite overrated really. They're not underrated in that they're not very well known, but they have a pretty large hatedom and a lot of people think they haven't done anything good except the original Matrix (and V for Vendetta). Of course, in my opinion, the only truly bad film they've ever done is Revolutions and films like Cloud Atlas and especially Speed Racer are very much underrated.

Reloaded imo, is all kinds of awesome. If Revolutions would have explained things better Reloaded would have been pretty darn close to Matrix.

baumer Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Knowing is one of my faves as well. Proyas is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Anyone who likes Proyas should watch his debut, Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds. The whole thing is on YouTube, which might actually be the only good (and certainly the quickest) way to watch it, because it's never been released on DVD, only on VHS. A true hidden gem if there ever was one, and it's very much worth it - it's absolutely beautiful and unlike most films you'll ever see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
