Better movie franchise: Matrix or Star Wars

lol, i don't think you wanna nitpick each franchise.

Star Wars has epic amounts of utter shit, and that's not excluding the original trilogy.

I like Reloaded. Despite some of the noticeable poor quality in some of the action sequences, I thought it was a rather impressive sequel. Sure, it didn't help the way it ended.

I call a movie 'bad' when it bores me. I'm pretty tolerant of most things cinema, so it takes a considerable level of dullness for me to be bored. Usually even a cool action scene is enough to keep me at least mildly interested. That's how I viewed the Matrix sequels: mildly interesting. But the novelty of the action scenes wore off long ago, and now the films have to rely on their strong, well developed characters, plot, and ideas.

Unfortunately, the Matrix sequels possess none of those things.

I loved The matrix but Star Wars was great!

Starwars wins for me. There is only one trilogy after all lol 😛

I don't believe the prequels sucked...maybe attack of the clones lol. Anyways I think a lot of people say they didn't have much story to them because of the order they were brought out. We already knew what was suppose to happen in them so when we saw them it was kind of like "meh knew that was gonna happen".

Episodes 4-6 were epic. Episode 1 was OK. Episode 2 was meh. Episode 3 was good.

The Matrix sucks.

I don't understand why people hate the Matrix trilogy. The series was consistent, had a good story and character arc, great action sequences, and it set itself for a awesome conclusion which it delivered on, both in Zion and the Matrix. It was full of insightful philosophy that drilled to the existentialist core. I thought it was a very good film trilogy, and a lot more interesting to watch the Star Wars films.

The only thing the SW films have over The Matrix is that the Matrix (and really any other media franchise media franchise) doesn't have a character as badass as Darth Vader. You have to admit he is a large appeal of the series. Why else would George Lucas create an entire film trilogy around him? Take Vader out of Star Wars and what do you have?

Boba Fett.

The Twins were more badass than Boba Fett 🙂

Your mom's twins are more badass than Boba Fett.

Your mom's ass smells badder than Boba Fett

It was OK, not bad like Ep. 2. It was watchable IMO.

Nah, lets be honest, they were both terrible. For me, at least in Ep II we saw Jango Fett, Mace Windu, Nick Fury decapitating Jango, Yoda styling on Dooku, and Anakin getting his arm chopped off. Those were cool moments if you are a Star Wars fan. Ep I on the other hand didn't really have anything. Arguably Maul was pretty cool, but Jar Jar Binks sealed the deal.

Matrix all the way for me. There's no pansy, annoying-as-shit charactesr like Jar Jar targeted at kids.

But again, not sure why there's such a need to compare unrelated things... there's far more interesting things to discuss. It's no wonder the Matrix films went over everyone's head here... 🙄
