Team Work!
Another smashing success. While the original did have more action; this one shows more distintitive art styles. Which is one of the things I like about these joint efforts.
Serge's style is definately well done. It does seem to jump around in some small parts but not so much that it leaves you wondering if something happened.
I've seen Joanime before at the end of Van Helthing and I always wondered who exactely she was. I enjoyed watching her style. While there is less talking, she still manages to animate it in a way so that you understand what is going on.
The Seige scene is probably the one with the most jokes. Many of which are quite witty. The Independence Day reference. R2 and C3P0 (It is a war between man and machine). The machines rioting in the streets. But most of all, I liked how he made those final moments at the button more meaningful. I mean, in the real movie. The kid takes a few extra moments to say "Neo, I believe" and then he shoots the chain. It is by far the most pointless line in the entire movie. The Neo playing Ninja Turtles was much more enjoyable to watch and softened the blow of that pointless line.
I'm looking forward to another joint matrix movie. (Complete the trilogy!)
