What had better effects... post #1  quote:



The Smith/Neo brawl in Reloaded or in Revolutions?

My money is on the one in Revolutions. The CGI was almost very well done... of course the dark and the rain helped too. The fight in Reloaded seemed to turn into an Animatrix short.

-HECK!

revo by far. it reminded me of a greek myth. a visual representation of a "battle of the gods" with the rain and the lightning. no respect for gravity. they did some really good fx with the rain, too. the 'bubbles' of rain-free atmosphere from the shock of their hits. very good stuff.


bring in the logic probe!

revolutions was definitely better. jus the atmosphere of it and the anger in their faces jus made it alot more fun. plus seeing all the millions of other smiths watching thru the buildings was pretty great too. i loved the rain bombs from their blows that was ingenius

The funniest music video in the world is Eminem - Without Me, when Elvis is sitting on the toilet, reaches in and pulls out a sandwich and eats it - where did that come from? roflmao

Revolutions, hands down. I feel that reloaded looked a little TOO Computer generated.

So, the bullet-time punch was good CGI?

I mean, I don't really know what's good CGI and what's bad CGI, but I saw some flaws in it, Neo and Smith seemed to have too light a contrast. That and I would figure that Neo's punch wasn't THAT fast to make it appear that at that speed the rain wouldn't even be moving.

In terms of choreography, I liked Reloaded more (I mean it's hard to think up that many moves for a fight like that).

However, Revolutions' fight just kicked ASS! It was so great, so powerful! I just wish that there weren't breaks between the fight sequences, at least not as long of breaks as after Smith creates a crater in the Earth with Neo. I also wish that there was more on the ground kung-fu, and that they could do more with the air-time that they had (LOL, get it? Air time?). Basically, the fighting could have been longer (maybe even faster, I mean he's The One now, it should've been a little more zoomy), and less dialogue.


I know that it makes it sound like that I hated it. Don't worry, I loved it. There were just things that made it seem funny, also the fact that the Smith clones (not only in the final fight) never really ever seemed like Smith... I mean, they just stood there, like they were gang followers, not Smith himself though. I wish that the W. Bros went a different route instead of making Smith clones.
