[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 651390, member: 4779"] As it was set up in the beginning, it raised the bar beyond a simple action film. The last 1/3 did not hold true to what they set it up to be. The Neo character wasn't developed that well. His relationship with Trinity and the whole love aspect was cheesy and strained at best. They solved the earlier aspects of the plot with a shoot-em-up at the end that basically had no payoff. 3 movies are not needed to tell a good story. I am dissappointed by the Matrix because of how well the rest of the movie was done. It was a very entertaining blend of concept, visuals and action. Judging it as a singular movie is fair because it had plenty of time to do more. It just choose not to. I am sick of movies that set things up and the end that are decided by a fistfight/shootout between good and evil the decides simply who "wins." They should aim higher like their great comicbook superhero counterparts. It doesn't take away the fact that I liked it and am looking forward to the sequels. I was entertained, but for what they gave me I wanted more. I am interested to see if the sequels deliver what the first movie didn't. You don't have to agree with me, but that's the way I feel about the movie every time I have seen it. [/QUOTE]
