And you liked the sequels because of their brilliant story?Somehow I doubt that.

"Somehow" your doubts have nothing to do with whether I liked it or not. Or do you doubt my sincerity?

Oh yes, they are! The first time I heard ‘Griffin eternal’ in-game* it was funny, the second time merely amusing, the third time I was indifferent. But every time after that it becomes more and more annoying.

There is no conviction used when it’s spoken; the phrase sounds tacked on and awkward even at the best of times. It may have been INTENDED as a battle cry, but it still sounds foolish. Moreover they use it too much; they could have cut a few utterances of it out, or at least interspersed it with something different. As it is it seems like that is the only Ashan exclamation its people were able to devise.

(*Yes, I have it working now!)

No,Im just saying that matrix 2 and 3 have none of the depthness of the first part.They are just fighting,and fighting,and fighting,a hint of a story and some more fighting.Sure,there were a lot of special effects and fights in matrix 1,but not as much as in the sequels.And there was a story in 1 as well.A nice story too.Although not the most original one(Ive seen a movie,a cartoon and read two stories on that topic before It appeared),but original to large masses.

There are plenty of "hidden meaning" threads on Matrix fan forums. On one of them, which I used to visit, there were way more "story discussion" threads generated by Reloaded and Revolutions than the original film. Everything sees what they want to see, and saying "none of the depthness" is subjective.

Its just normal that fans will try to defend the lame moves of the producers.When reloaded came out I was among those that said "Sure it was a lot of fighting,but the twists were nice".I defended the stupid scene where neo destroyed the sentinels as "It was an ion pulse behind him".But when the revolutions came,I just gave up.

It did seem really lame that the Herores would constantly act in unusual ways during the dialouge. I'm not going to go to Taco Bell, order my food, raise a sword in the air, and shout "Griffin Eternal!" Nor am I going to wave a staff around when I am talking to someone on the street while pretending to cast a spell.

I find the dialogue more irritating. It's easier to close my eyes then to put fingers in my ears. And it's way easier to imagine using just sounds then just images. Or at least to get it closer to what's intended.

Actualy Findan was no where near as annoying as I expected him to be. His "poetry" was just plainly dull.

I always do imaginary golf and bat swings when talking to people. I also often times do some mad ninja moves while talking about the weather, waiting for the bus to arrive.

I normaly just use a flashlight on my face to punctuate a point. And I always try to talk the same way all the time, no matter what i'm saying. Inflrctions are for weirdos.

The sky is dark,
I swing my club,
It looks like rain,
I must see Tieru.

Now that's great poetry worthy of Finidan.
