I have to disagree, TPM was a bit of a Special effects Dissapointment. Whem Watching the Matrix I was Blown away. SURE there might have been more in TPM, and maybe more work. But the point is in Special effects, is how to make it work, for the benefit of the film. And I think Matrix had that mastered.
Tell why Obi, and Qui, while at the begining of TPM, they jump down from a shoot, it's a long Shot, and you them them Very small. OK. WHY did it look like to claymaytion figures falling??
That looked like something that could have been in SW:ANH.
But dont get me started on TPM.

"...when these type of movies get a sequel, it smells "bad" all the way."
They were planning to make a trilogy all along.
"They were interested in making a trilogy right from the very start..."
See?
"...hard to find Matrix fans around here..."
Well, there's me. Most of my fellow survivalist kook buddies also like it too.

This thread unexpectedly saved by becoming on-topic again. Ok, keep up the Matrix discussion, folks...

True, finti. Special effects are a tool to make a movie better. It shouldn't be the basis of the entire movie, like it was in The Matrix.
The entire movie plot told of this alternate reality, and Reeves was supposedly the chosen one. But in the end, it turned out to be a rescue mission of that black dude. The plot and story left me unfulfilled, and it the ending left me unsatisfied. Nothing was resolved! They just saved the black guy, they didn't save the world!

That's because the Wachoski brothers wanted to do a trilogy. The whole story is too big to condense into just one movie. That's why it seems unresolved - because it hasn't been resolved yet. Oh, and by the way, would you have preferred them to leave Morpheus to die at the hands of those government agent sentient zombie programs?

I couldn't care less if they killed Morphious.
The Matrix is a rip off of star wars. Morphious is the Obi-wan of the Matrix ( the old wise one who has seen it all)

It only seems that way because of the Joe Campbellian pattern. A lot of stories of heroism against adversity have similar qualities. That doesn't make them the same. That doesn't make 'The Matrix' a rip-off of 'Star Wars'. There's room in the world for both.
That's like saying Jar Jar is a rip-off of Vash the Stampede who's a rip-off of Vic Ajax. Those are all unique characters who just happen to have certain similar qualities.

Who the hell is Joe Cambell?
And why does everything in the end go back to Jar Jar Binks?

Ok, this one is going nowhere again, and I think it's time is up.
