Yeah, I have to agree with Hmmm on this one. If this was a trailer for Zack Snyder\’s next film, it would have been dismissed as more overstylized violence.
Yes, Wong Kar-Wai deserves more of a benefit of the doubt than Snyder does but this trailer is definitely being oversold here.

The fact that all anyone can talk about in the comments is The Matrix depresses me to no end.

My god. Cut the hipster bullshit.

This looks like derivative shit. The action isn\’t even filmed coherently.

Neo vs Smith\’s final fight blows this away and it\’s not even close.

Man, I\’m excited for this! I\’ve never seen a Wong film on the big screen–I really hope this will be the one.

I also think it unlikely that the whole film will be anything like this–Wong doesn\’t do action for action\’s sake–I\’m guessing maybe two more real fight scenes and maybe a couple slices of others, and the rest focusing on lost romances, longing, and inward voiceover.

Should Matrix claim royalties?

This is what the final fight of Matrix Revolutions should have been like.

So this will be his first movie (Ashes of Time notwithstanding) with actual fight scenes?

Oh wait, the scene may not end up in the actual movie…

It\’s coherent to me? But I think Michael Bay\’s action scenes are also coherent. Whatever, can\’t wait. So much Z-axis, I love it.

I\’m with Kevin on this one. Have we become SO overstimulated by Hollywood bullshit trailers that give away all the best scenes that we watch an 80 second teaser (not even full trailer) for a new film by one of the world\’s greatest living directors and all we can say is \”Mehhhh, Matrix did it better?!\”

Unless it\’s all just internet sarcasm, in which case, never mind.
