Will Matrix 2 and 3 take much of the popualr wind out of the RotK's sails - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've had the chance to talk to a few people about The Matrix Reloaded. Most of these people were really hyped about it, too. They all agree that the special effects are incredible. Hoever, they also all had to agree that there was no plot. (Note: I have not yet seen it. Will go tomorrow.) I enjoyed The Matrix, and am, in fact, using it for a philosophy seminar. I think it has important things to say: about God, free will, and various other important things. <BR>However, in the new one, apparently (I'll change this tomorrow if I turn out to be wrong) Neo simply flies out of trouble. Agent shows up? He runs. Or actually flies.<BR>I appreciate the effort put into the special effects. But there must be more than that. And that's where RotK will always win out.
