Yep. I don't really see what everyone's problem with the 2nd one was to be honest. It had all the elements of the first, the cool fight scenes, the philosophy, the great characters and at this point, an actual storyline. The fight scenes were just.. better.. than the first one. Some people didn't like the 'pretentious' philosophy near the end, but personally I ate it up.

TB.

I still think the 3rd was the best...

Why do most people hate the 3rd? I mean, yeah, it's nowhere near as good as one and two, but it's not that bad. If you don't like it just because it's not in The Matrix, then you're missing the point: the first film is nearly entirely in the Matrix; most people are trapped, unaware of what's happening. The second is pretty equal between the two; more people are being freed because of Neo. And the third is nearly entirely in the real world, because it is the revolution, everyone is being freed. If you don't like it because it was just a bit shittier than t'others then umm.. merh.

I don't like it because it effectively consisted of a ridiculous section with the 'Train-man', that made very little sense and had virtually no relevance to the story, a tediously long fight in lots of rain and about 3 hours of human inside reasonably cool looking robots shouting 'ARRGHHH!!!!' at the never ending swarm of sentinels.

The cool bits.. were the flight over the machine city, although this was subsequently ruined by the silly looking composite face machine boss thing. There are a lot of other things wrong with it but actually posting them would contain spoilers, for those who haven't seen the third (although I wouldn't recommend it.. stop with the second).

TB.
