George A. Romero's "The Crazies" starts in the small town of Evan City where we see a creepy scene in which a man goes insane and kills his entire family. We soon find out that something has contaminated the water supply of Evan City, causing people to die and/or go incurabley insane. The film follows a group of people who must evade the highly contagious virus and the even more dangerous US military, who are called in to quarentine the town. Romero has done a good job here, the style is good and the script is good but there are still a lot of problems. At first I didn't really mind the bad special effects and the little problems of "The Crazies" low budget, but the movie does start to look stupid after a while. It has the feeling of a traditional Romero film, the characters are good, it's shot in Pennsylvania, there's a little satire, but it isn't as shocking or cool as Romero's dead films for example. But the movie isn't all that bad, and since it's Romero I rate this a 6.5/10
I think i figured out what they were thinking(what they were smoking, to this day remains a mystery). They were trying to put together another horror that could happen to a town on Halloween. Luckily they had enough sense to bring back Michel Myers in the later instalments because putting on a mask and having bugs come out of no where and suddenly killing you doesn't seem to deserve that many sequels.
The Matrix Reloaded was a good movie, despite that its almost impossible to follow up The Matrix. The best thing about the movie was the fight scenes. The CGI, choreography, and bullet time were spectacular and i really enjoyed the opening sequence. The script was good, but not great unfortunately, the dialouge was awful, most the stuff Agent Smith said was poorly written, like the part about the connection between him and Neo...that brought back bad memories of Jack Frost 2. Overall the movie was pretty good and i would rate it a 7/10.
