What the hell are you talking about?
I respect The Matrix, as it's religious embodiment was overshadowed by the intillectual conflicts that so many fanboys had troubled with. In the end, it was a very complex manipulation of religious tales.
Neo died for a reason, Crash. If Neo is comparable to "The One" of Christian belief, then he died rightly so.
The Matrix was a beautiful (err, well.. not at parts, heh) collaberation of science and religion. Yes, Science Fiction meets Religious (Fiction?). It was already known in the first two films how much the series had to do with religious tales. The whole cast of characters had names of religious importance... and Zion, of course, as well. When the series started, however, everyone was too interested in the new ideas; everyone was interested in the mind-numbing idea of having our minds in the captivity of an illusionary world. The Alice in Wonderland allusions made viewers feel like the real world was some magical, foreign land... and that is all.
What if, perhaps, it was not the Matrix and the real world being compared by the Alice and Wonderland allusions, but rather Science and Religion, or even our universe and the afterlife? It's possible.
Keanu Reeves had said in an interview that the brothers intended on making three movies when they made the first. They must've known what they were doing when they created the first movie... especially since you can see the Architect's TV screens right before Neo is interrogated by Smith.
The sequals were more than worthy, and more than worth my time. Charlies Angels, on the other hand, is "absolut" trash. And Underworld, I have not seen... haven't even heard much about it O_o. But, of what I've heard, a lot of people have become obsessed with Vampires and Werewolves. I accept their nonsense and dreaming, but the movie doesn't sound respectable.
