OT: Matrix

You have to view the Last Highlander (and the series) as an alternate story. There's no continuity between the first three and that one. Make that the first two...I've Banned Highlander 2 from my memory. If I could cut the brain cells that contain that time from my brain...

I feel almost the same about the Matrix trilogy. First one is outstanding, the following two lack in a big way. Except that it's clear a Dragonball Z movie is entirely possible to make in a live action format. And Hugo Weaving is too much fun to watch.

I liked T3's way of the bringing the story back to the beginning. I never bought T2's ending as making the world safe.

I think you mean TTT. I don't think there where any Ents in ROTK.

Your statement is true, except for the first movie. That is still an excellant movie; I just wished the studios had treated the sequels with more respect, instead of just throwing them out there. The series was good also. Wish I had the money to buy the dvd sets.

yeah, forgot the first movie was good. Well, not exactly a cinimatic masterpeice, but good.

Whoops. Wake up, Narf.

I think he meant the Army of the Dead in ROTK, not the Ents in TTT.

EDIT - And what the heck is the FAAA? I'm pretty sure you don't mean the Flight Attendants Association of Australia, no matter what Google says.

I liked Terminator 2 the best out of the three Terminator movies. It had the best action and the special effects with the T-1000 were outstanding at the time the movie came out.

No. There is a reason those scenes were cut.

(sorry it's a pet peeve of mine that I can't go get some movies as originaly shown. I can only get the 'directors cut' with an extra half hour of crap in it)
