hear hear on the matrix..... I've been waiting for that one. As for star wars, it has completely lost its path..... with the first three that came out, we followed luke on his journey to heroism. This was more like a king arthur story than the ones that are coming out now. The scenes jump around too much from time period to time period and we don't get to see any of the hero's journey..... because after all, that is what all great movies and literature are based on... even lotr and the matrix. Both lotr and matrix follow the heroes journey/monomyth to a T... if you don't believe me, just do a search for matrix, ubermensch, and monomyth, then have fun reading about this stuff. And of course, let me remind everyone that the best stories come from books, not cinema, so if you haven't read lotr...... freakin read it, its great. If you like the whole star wars and fantasy thing too, I suggest you deviate from the crappy star-wars rip off books that are put out simply for commercialization of a great story, and read something like le morte d'arthur (no its not in french) or the once and future king or the crystal cave. These books are incredibly good, and trust me.... you'll thank me (or curse me) when you don't want to sleep because you're so into the books.....
In short: Movies good. Sequels Bad. Books rule.
