The Matrix still has me
Ho-lee CRAP!!!
Legendary Frog and co have done it again!
The ultimate matrix parody makes an incredable comeback.
Overall, it was a bit of a change from the last one. Instead of going for the most famous scenes, they went for the other scenes that were still good but not as famous. Also, it's a change in animation style. Most of the artists had sort of an anime look to their creations.
Once again, I will rate all of these individually on a scale from 1 to 10.
Cycon - Agent Training 9/10
Although a bit slow paced in some areas, this was one of the funniest of the animations. You can also see Cycon walking in the background in a few scenes. My favorite part was where they said the matrix was ran on a 56k modem (plus the aol broadband advert) and the unfreezing the agent scene.
Serge - Subway 7/10
The animation was a bit jerky and the subtitles were also a bit too fast, but the action scenes were great AND there was a "Matrix ME" parody. Flawed, but good.
Legendary Frog - Twins 10/10
Can I expect less from one of Newground's top artist? NO! First off, they made fun of the guy's arm getting stuck in the door, the joke about the car they used (the Caddlical XLR, with a "tada" sound effect), and an extremely funny ad about car safety by Neo where he potrays Agent Smith like Hitler. The whole thing was great.
JoAnime - Mobil Ave. 11/10. Thats right. 11. ELEVEN!!
WOW!! Just... WOW!!! Smooth animation, extremely satrical potrayals of the characters, good jokes, very good use of sound effects/music, and a VERY good ending that I would like to not ruin. One of my favorite scenes was the one that poked fun at Trinity, The Trainman, AND the oracle at the same time, followed by the "You got motivation! Maybe now you can get your lazy butt outta this damn place >_>", followed by a dramatic running scene followed by the Spiderman 1 theme song... which begins slowing to a halt with the subtitle "pwned" above Neo and Neo collapsing while waving a white surrender flag. This scene was SUPERB!!!
Gerkinman - The Seige 7.5/10
In the actual Matrix Revolutions, this is what made the movie. In this parody, it makes fun of movies other than the matrix. From what I can see, it makes fun of, in order, Independence Day, Knox's Matrix Parody, Mech Warrior, Star Wars, South Park, Old Fasioned Anglo Saxon war movies, The Iraqi war protests, an 80s music video, the classic scenerio of the medics picking up an enemy body on the battlefeild instead of an ally, The Jonny 5 robot thing, sattalite tv, The reloading scene in the battle, and finally satrical potrayals of the characters Kid, Neo, Mifune, Morphues, Niobe, and Roland, with a "hammer time" sound effect at the end. The animation looks like something drawn in MS Paint set into motion. Not that it's a bad thing, but it is pretty cool/just plain wierd.
Congratulations guys! And Legendary frog, I hope you come out with another movie parody compilation soon (Maybe Lord of the Rings could be possible if you didn't already have a series, but you could still try.)
