The theme for this movie should be "Behold the power of Cheese". I gave the Rifftrax a 10 rating.  |

Gonna give it a 3. While there were some great jokes, it seems like they went to the well of "this movie sucks!" way too many times. It wasn't nearly as bad as Phantom Menace, so it's worth a 3 at least.

I'd say 9.5, but I rated it a 10. The -0.5 for me was over the rather severe repetition of the rebar injury commentary near the end. The rest of the production was hilarious though.

8/10 from me. Decent, but nowhere near as good as Reloaded.
It should be stated though that Matrix Reloaded is my favorite Rifftrax, an easy 10/10, so I had perhaps overly high expectations for this. This movie just didn't lend itself as well to riffing. They did go overboard on the "Trinity death" jokes though, no question.
I watched this and Planet of Dinosaurs the same day, and to be honest, I laughed at PoD far more.

I'm with Vidken here: 9.5.
Seeing how a riff is darn near impossible to make a 10 due to at least 3hrs of the movie being devoted to unknowns shooting robots, a 9 seems too low. Incidentally, I thought Matrix 1 & 2 were 10s. I am so happy to have all these movies riffed now and to have them in the highest quality of riffing! Next stop, Dragon Wars!!!

I can't agree more about the severe repetition comment Vidken! I rate MR a 5. I've probably watched Rifftrax several hundred times and I'll periodically mute one of their mock anger sessions, e.g. Mike's complaining about painting stars being hard to remove in ST Generations. *BUT*, I have never muted a section of a Rifftrax before on the first viewing like this time. I really wish the big three would drop the acting out of anger about how bad a movie is or about the filmmakers or actors. Another version of this anger acting is in the otherwise fantastic riff, Battlefield Earth. The guys start to talk about being in hell and what not. I'm a huge fan of both RT and MST3K (but not CT oddly enough). I hope the guys can pick up doing movies like MR, F&F, etc and lighten up on the shorts, Voodoo Man, etc. Yes, PoD was an excellent riff of a horrible, cheesy movie but I really enjoy Rifftrax being able to take on major releases, not the horrible old stuff or public domain. Anyway, that was a lot of my chest, back to Swing Parade 3-Riffer!  |

I thought that segment was funny, simply because it emphasizes just how long she goes on living and talking after an accident which should have killed her instantly. They have time to do several long setups, each of which ends in a rant. The first one or two weren't all that funny, but the fact that they could do so many was hilarious. IMO.  |

I thought that whole section worked very well. Was it long and repetitive? Yes, and thus it went perfectly with a death speech that had me longing for the brevity of Cyrano de Bergerac's death. |

If I hadn't already voted 8 earlier, I'd say 9. Almost 10. This one grew on me a lot after multiple viewings/listens. (Unlike Transformers 2 which I loved at first, but didn't like so much later on).
However, I have to say, I really hated the Trinity death scene. It was very annoying on first viewing. By 5th viewing, I was just fast forwarding through it. And I'm the kind of guy who even watches the credits, so skipping stuff is against my nature. I can say, without question, that this is my least favorite sequence of any Rifftrax I've seen. This bit alone prevents it from being a 10.

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed with that scene, too. Way too much repetition of the same joke. It was funny at first, but began to grate. |
