  1. Sequels... by Junta · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I don't see how the Matrix lends itself at all to a sequel. It was a pretty intriguing movie with some interesting questions. Can the sequels hope to acheive anything close to the same level of intrigue and interest with the closure of the first movie in mind, or will it simply be a cheap grab for more boxoffice bucks?

    XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve the problem, use more.
  2. Same goes for Star Wars, right? by John+Harrison · · Score: 5, Interesting
    After Star Wars Luke had gained "superpowers" and destroyed the Death Star, freeing the galaxy from evil, right? So why bother with two sequels? (The prequel, btw, struck me as a money-grab.)

    The Matrix left more questions unanwered than Star Wars and really presented a much smaller victory if you think about it. So Neo can fly around in the Matrix now, big deal. Can he free humanity? Can he defeat the machines in the real world?

    I think the movie left plenty of interesting questions unanswered and there is still room for the sequels to ask more. Even if the new movies aren't as interesting as the first they will still have lots of sfx and kung-fu magic which will be more than enough to attract a large percentage of the /. crowd.
