Fun and Games: November 2003 Archives

First, why don't they just change the name of the show to Spike instead of Angel? I am wondering how we are supposed to feel about Spike and Angel because Angel is so annoying. Spike however is kinda cool. Gone are the days of Angel the Champion, Helper of the Helpless sacrificing himself for pregnant women whose demon champions he accidently killed, and the greater good. Now he is a Fat Cat who sits behond his desk at Wolfram and Hart. Boring...

Now the good part was the end when they brought Lindsay back. Yes, Lindsay, true to form and recognizable because the boy needs a haircut. What they are up to, no one knows, but we do know this, he is a dead man walking. Angel told him in Season Two to leave town and of he comes back, he will kill him.

I am not sure what I thought of it. It was not like Return of the Jedi in the sense that it had it's own story, but it was nothing more than a "Part Two" conclusion to Matrix Reloaded. It had lots of neat sci fi special effects, but not enough martial arts in neat black costumes for my own taste. Also, more long speeches that put me to sleep. Mercifully, none of them were from Morpheus because he had enough monologues ion the last movie to fill Lawrence Fishburn's career...and um, someone else's.

I really cannot say too much about the plot because the movie was sort of plot free and just the conclusion to the story with lots of specail effects, so if I say anything, I may spoil the ending.

I will say that many of the holes in the last movie will still be evident in this one if you did not play Enter the Matrix(or sat to watch while your husband played) and watch The Animatrix. It sets up the characters better and the background. You have

I do think if you saw the first two, you need to see this one to satisfy your curiosity, but it can wait until it comes out on video.

I do not know, I fell asleep and did not wake up until it was over.

Thanks to Ellyn for this quiz.
