Matrix Revolutions... not a rival for ROTK - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Actually I read in my paper that Matrix Revolutions had made less money in the first 4 days than Reloaded had in it's first 4 days. I also have seen Revolutions, and I found that they copped out quite a bit on the plotline. My dad actually had a rather intricate theory, and then the movie turned out to be less complicated than Amistad. (I recently watched both, one in Social Class) I really hope that ROTK will be a lot better than Revolutions, since I've noticed a trend in the LOTR movies. The top 250 movies on <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com" TARGET=_blank>IMDb</A> had TTT at number 4, while FOTR was at number 8. Also an <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/poll/results/2003-11-03" TARGET=_blank>IMDb poll</A> on Nov. 3 asked which December movie people were most looking forward to, with ROTK coming in first out of 18 with 70.9%. I think that the movie will attract a lot more people than TTT just because it's the end of the trilogy, and thus a lot of people who liked the books, but don't like 3 part films will watch the first two soon before going to see ROTK. I also think that ROTK is going to have a very hard time being worse than Revolutions because of the sybolism already in the text, and PJ (hopefully) trying his best not to change the story too much. <P>One last note on the Matrix franchise; I really liked the original Matrix for the meanings, hidden or not, but I found that the next two movies were really short on plot line. the Lord of the Rings franchise so far seems to have (mostly) kept up it's standard. Okay, done my rant.
