matrix and star wars were pure stand alone films.
return of the jedi, empire strikes back, and matrix 2+3 were all connected.
along the same vein as back to the future.
you could guess an ending but didnt really need another film

I've seen a fair share of good films lately but cant argue about taste.Xest wrote:Which films over the last 2 years or so have been better? I'm not saying there haven't been some good films, things like Lord of War were good, but they're few and far between.
Imo most movies have been better, matrix 2 and 2 are totally worthless movies. The second one was so bad I was concidering to leave the cinema.Xest wrote:Which films over the last 2 years or so have been better?

I call them pretty good movies - and I don't agree with you on Pirates. Matrix 2/Matrix 3 are (imo) among the top 10 worst movies - but as you said, its pretty much a matter of personal taste.Xest wrote:Would you call half those films amazing or just mediocre though? Things like 16 blocks, Superman, Slevin etc. were just mediocre imo - watchable but not something I'd pay to see.
I suppose it's largely down to personal preference, but tbh Pirates of the Carribean Dead Man's chest was as much of a crap followup as Matrix 2 if not more so imo.
