First of all, I never said that RotK wouldn't be good. I said that I doubted PJ would screw it up. Just because he made it in a year and a half doesn't just make it good -- though it does make it more likely that it will be good.<P>As for Neo being the saviour of the human race? He's no more saviour of man than Aragorn is of Middle-earth. They are both figure heads. Granted, Neo is not becoming a king and becoming the leader of his people, but they are both leading a people against a common enemy who is growing stronger (i.e Sauron and Agent Smith), which is more than just skin deep. Matrix is different, just like LotR is different. They both have different and fresh takes on a very common story theme: they both tell stories of nobility and sacrifice (also more than just skin deep). I'm not quite sure what people mean when they say Matrix fell flat, so I don't even know if I'm adressing the point (so forgive me all if I'm just babbling on), but that doesn't change the kernel of either stories.<P>LotR is better than Matrix for a few reasons which I won't go into now because I believe that it has been stated before. However, LotR isn't king and Matrix isn't dirt. They are both grand epics with a story with heart/morals/bravery/nobility to tell. <P>(I hope I haven't gone off topic...if I have, my apoligies to the mods)
