I watched it once, in the pictures because my mate had a couple of free tickets, so we went.

I left with an overwhelming sense of WTF and haven't been able to bring myself to watch it again since. I never did understand why everyone loved that series of films so much :confused:

Fantastic movie ... the second one was great, because Monica Bellucci was in it :heart::wub: ... the third one was pretty dire.

I liked the first one, diminishing returns after that.

Note to self: deal with it and get into the Boston Celtics.

Yeah, lets hope they don't toss things up like the Bruins and the Red Sox....saying that, the Pats haven't started yet, so could easily add them too :D

Sorry to hear that :(

Maximum hotness!

Don't get me wrong, I thought the first Matrix was a masterpiece, but the second one was OK. I didn't like that seemingly endless scene where Neo was fighting 800 Agent Smiths. The Zion rave scene was also overly long and unnecessary. As for the 3rd movie, it was a big pile of crap and a huge disappointment, considering the anticipation and the fact that I specifically drove up to the Imax in West Palm Beach to see it.

I just think its part of his nature, but I know he probably wouldn't have done well in the mid-west or deep south.
