i have high hopes too. but as i sat in the theatre watching reloaded, i kept thinking "this is a blockbuster, not a cult classic". another thing i wasn't entirely sure i liked was morpheus's transition from mysterious to populist folk hero. i kept thinking that the wachowski brothers wanted fishburne to become more up-front and center. i think i liked him better as a dark and shadowy guy. i liked link, and appreciated his character development. i loved the oracle's twist. didn't see that coming. btw, i read that she died. guess they need to rewrite the script for the third movie. i wish we saw more of persephone, but what litle we saw was greatly appreciated. awesome character. they definitely got this subplot down! cat fight! ;-P the only part of the movie i didn't like was the techno-dance scene after morpheus's speech. in fact, it reminded me of the hated ewoks scene in return of the jedi. :) i'm still thinking about the movie, trying to sort things out. i'd honestly be interested in hearing other peoples' opinions. any target release date for matrix 3? pete -- GPG Instructions: http://www.dirac.org/linux/gpg GPG Fingerprint: B9F1 6CF3 47C4 7CD8 D33E 70A9 A3B9 1945 67EA 951D _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
