-- What are your thoughts about the Matrix 2 soundtrack?

What are your thoughts about the Matrix 2 soundtrack?

Myself, I don't think it's worth buying, unless in a bargain bin. Two good songs and a decent score just aren't enough. If they just would've kept the metal out of it.

There are some nice tracks and some really crappy tracks on it..

Just my thoughts.

they couldnt really keep the metal out of it, but i agree only two good tunes both involve oakenfold as well .
actually i was surprised to see even 2 trance tunes in a film like that, with it being "gothy" and all

You didn't like Zion? Whoa.

DIdnt like any of the matrix soundtracks.
_meh_...maybe because i didnt like the movie that much.

Liking the movie plays a very important part in liking the soundtrack.

I mean, look at kill bill 1.The music is not groundbreaking, but yet, its just so fun to listen!

Yeah it is just Mr. Tarantino and his corny taste of music. (Corny in a good way).


Posted by DJ Cinos on May-27-2004 09:27:

Kill Bill 1 was one of the absolutely worst movies I've ever seen.
Seriously. So very repetive, and Tarantino seems to think floods of blood redeem a near-the-bottom everything else.

Try not to flame me, but use constructive criticism instead.


Posted by trewqy on May-27-2004 09:30:

Tarantino did not want plot to do anything with the 1st movie.Its just one of his innovative ways to make a movie.Thus putting the movie in chapters and linking them all together in the 2nd movie.

Just let ur mind break loose from conventional cinema and enjoy the ride.

If u didnt appreciate Volume 1, I would think that you would not have liked Pulp Fiction that much?

It is actually a pretty nice movie to watch,With a right attitude of course.
Just leave your brains elsewhere when watching.
It reminds me of the old "b class" movies.

I didn't like Pulp Fiction either, no. So, what you're saying is, that the first movie makes more sense if I watch the second?

Yes. It ties the story up pretty much.

Not a great soundtrack imo, but Fluke - Zion is totally awesome.
If you like ordinary orchestral soundtracks you should check out the Matrix Revolutions OST, it's great.

Didn't care too much for the soundtrack, but Fluke-Zion was awesome. If they hadn't added all the Matrix samples in more than half of the songs on the soundtrack, I might have liked it more. But unfortunately for them, it wasn't trancey enough to hook in the EDM lovers, and it wasn't rockish enough to get the rock fans to like it. They tried to appease both sides and ended up getting no one.

im the other way around. a movie has to have a kickass soundtrack. . . especially if it was an epic movie.

word. zion is awesome.

Matrix Revolutions OST >> matrix reloaded.

Reloaded soundtrack has some good tracks on- Dread Rock, Zion, Chateau, Mona Lisa Overdrive...

And of course the best track on the soundtrack: RATM- Calm Like A Bomb.

Revolutions has a pretty crap soundtrack. The original has the best, by far.

Haven't heard it yet

how can you like chateau & mona lisa overdrive and not like the Revolutions soundtrack?????


Posted by SYSTEM-J on May-29-2004 14:25:

Tetsujin, Navras and the Pale 3 track are the only good ones on Revolutions.


Posted by Hanki on May-29-2004 15:40:

Not so bad in my opinion, but I don't like these hard beats at all. Personally I enjoy Paul Oakenfold's "Dread Rock" the most.
