The impression I get from The Matrix 2 and 3 is that there were knocked out pretty quickly after the 1st one was so successful. So maybe it's a case of the original one was meant to be a one off (unless someone can tell me otherwise). Not having seen the 2nd or 3rd one, the 1st does end as if it was meant to be the ending, period. I never saw Speed 2 but I did see the Father Ted spoof, does that count?

I'm a lover of Keanu, especially Bill & Ted but let's get back onto topic please.

Feel free to create a Keanu Reeves appreciation thread in the movie section if you want

I wasn't a big fan of the remake (mostly because I can't stand Tennant), but I liked the story, so hopefully I enjoy the original more.

I don't usually like Tennant but I liked him in fright night. The character he plays is more flamboyant than the original. He's a bit Russell brand in the remake (if I remember you can't stand brand so that don't help lol)

I have a soft spot for Farrell and although he's not he greatest actor and he's pretty bad at accents half the time I did enjoy him in this. Thought he played it well.

But Farrell shines brightest in things like tigerland, the lobster, true detective etc

Point Break?

Bram Stokers Dracula?

Both not for me I'm afraid

Does anyone want to bet that when it goes live tomorrow the Zavvi site will go into meltdown?

Sunday 6pm UK Time
As with most Zavvi pre orders it may go live before 6pm
Best to check website from 5pm to 6pm

Can go live early from 1 hour to half hour early or even be late going live as in after 6pm

you will not want to keep your pre-order when you ordered it for 25GBP and now it's 18GBP.

Not bothered as long as I get a copy...

You got nothing to lose. Stick in order at £18 plus discount code and if good cancel the original order. Upto you if you wanna spend potentially 9 quid more....

His friend with the really annoying laugh kinda grates on you after a while. Too over the top IMO.

Is it as irritating as Eddie Murphy's laugh in Beverly Hills Cop? Because that would put me off...

It's not just his character in the film... I can't stand Tennant in general. But yeah, I can't stand Brand either.

I'm a fan of Farrell though, and I'd say he's a decent actor. He makes for an interesting interview too... very open/honest and even funny.

I have personally never experienced any problem with zavvis servers no matter how popular the title. That is one criticism you cannot level at zavvi

Whaaaaaaaat? That's eddies laugh though! His actual real laugh (just like Jimmy carrs)

Me and my mates love his laugh

Farrell is definately a decent actor (but people can be very 50/50 with him). When he's hearts not in it he's extremely bad. Miami vice, SWAT, total recall

His interviews are great, he don't give a ****

He's Irish and we tend not to give a ****. I'm not a fan. To me he's the Irish (here we go again) Keanu Reeves or Tom Cruse, the same in whatever film you see him in.

You just can't drop it can you

As an Irishman I cringe every time I hear an "Irish accent" in films. Let's just say Dick Van Dyke's "cockney" accent is suddenly bearable!

Nope

Or even better the remake of Day of the Jackal. The best bit was seeing and I quote "A dialogue coach" in the end credits. Now that was funny. Where they done under the trade descriptions act!
