First off.
puncation is your friend little one. I know I'm the best person to saying that ,but it helps even if used incorrectly. Or just make your post alittle more flowing

Second
THe best part of the Matrix was not the last 20 mintues. The best part of the Matrix was the Matrix, The full film (even the Credits!). Now if you want mindless killing and action ,then BAM the last 20 minutes were <font color="yellow"> gold </font color> . But the other 2 hours or so of film were there for a reason also. If anything that other 3/4ths of the film mad the last 1/4 better.
I watch the Matrix now and again and sometimes I find myslef skipping to the end. But I've noticed the Movie is so much better if you watch all of it. It makes the action even better.

About the Matrix Reloaded.
I thought it was good. Everyone or alot of poeple are saying it's not as good as the first one. Well, it depends, It's a diffrent movie than the first one. Much like how Empire was a diffrent movie than A New Hope ,Or using more Star Wars movies, How Ep 1 was a diffrent movie than ep 2.
Also I alot of people saw the Matrix and they hadnt seen anything like that ever. A movie that good and with great Special Effects. That they made it better than it actually was. Like when I was a kid and Ninja Turtles was the best movie ever. I watched it awhile ago and went WHAT THE F*CK was that.
Anyway. Alot of good movies have come out since the Matrix with lots of action and story and such. And remember they were filming this for awhile . So alot of people put the Matrix up there in the untouchable area of your mind

4th and hopefully Final
It was a good expansion on the Matrix Universe. you learned more about the Matrix than before. The fight scenes were good. There was alot to handle also so you forget the little details by the end of the film. One detail I remember but that alot of people dont, until I beat it back into there head is this. The Orcale was talking about glitches in the Matrix, like how ghosts vampires and the such were really glitches or old programs. Then when that French Dudes (I cant remeber his name) the french dudes wife (?) shoots one the 2 Henchmen with a sliver bullet. Its because he's a Werewolf (maybe)! but How cool is that!?! Also lest we forget the Fact that there might have been 5 others "THE ONES" and 5 other ZION's. There is so much going on that we can only remeber acouple of things. Watch the Matrix reloaded again take a pen and pad! Or wait for the DVD and then stop every time you get confused stretch keep watching. You gotta love a movie that makes you watch it twice or thrice (Fight Club anyone?)

How can anything be better than the origanl it cant. Live with it. Toy Story 2 was great better than the first 1. But was there anything like TOy Sotry when Toy Story Came out? No. SO when Toy Story 2 came out there had been lots of projects like that out already.
Thats my $0.02

I watched Reloaded and in that scene when she shoots the dude in the head it looked like to me that they were vampires, they were watching a vampire flick, which to me anyways, kind of illuminates the idea of themselves being vampires. It is widely believed that vampires as well as werewolves can be killed by silver (Blade)

[DangerSeeker]

Vampires can be (traditionally) killed by silver if you decapitate them with a silver blade, then stuff rose petals into its mouth. Of course, depending how far back you go, the only way to kill a vampire is to drive a large wooden stake through its heart into the ground, painfully pinning it in place until the sun comes up.

Vampire folklore is a murky and convoluted topic, really. Anne Rice negates pretty much everything in Fright Night because it worked for her story, just like the whole Buffy turn-to-dust thing works for their budget/continuity.

My thinking is, there are werewolves AND vampire. She shot a lycanthrope, but I'm guessing Frenchie was a vamp. We'll find out in November.

[Razorback]

If you go wayyyy back then you would know that the stake (through the heart or through the chest) was to keep the vampire from getting up while one chopped or sawed its head off (it was driven through the body and into its coffin).

Ah, but if you go even FURTHER back, you'll know that the first vampire was Lilith, Adam's first wife. That means you can only kill a vampire by pelting it with apples. Of course, I think my Bible's defective. It has a passage about the Five Norsemen of the Apocalypse.

[liverstone]

Dangerseeker you have a point about the two dudes being werewolves and frenchy being a vampire, I really need to see thedamn movie again. Possibly tommorrow... Anyway, I really enjoy reading about what everyone thinks of the movie, some of it gets really in depth.
