After seeing the reloaded movie, it's become even harder for me to decide which one i perfer more. But it's also quite unfair to take to great movies such as Lord Of The Rings and The Matrix and put them back to back. They are nearly as far opposite from each other as you could possibly make out.

One is a fantasy sword vs magic, taking place way back when, where everything is filled wityh mythical beasts, dark servants of evil, and then on the other side, wizards, and elves, along with a variety of other odd fellows fighting for good. The acting is unbelievable, the graphics, story, and music, along with consistancy in the movie is played out better than any other movie i have ever seen.

Then, you have the Matrix. A sci fi filled with intence bullet time gun and fight scenes, everything surrounding the idea of technology, and the idea of reality and fiction is so f*cked up that it's nearly impossible to fully understand what the heck is going on unless you really get into it. Which isn't hard at all. The graphics, battles, charatcers, story, complexity, and twists are excellent. The scenes get my heart racing with addrenalin, waiting to see the next mind blowing fight. It's a great movie that is under any circumstances, inferior to any other.

But again with the two. Both are considered unquestionably great movies, deserving glorification, and to doubt this is considered a sin. But looking at the fact that the two have absolutly nothin in common, and the genres themselves contradict the other, this makes it nearly impossible for a guy like myself to decide which of the two is better. I just finnished watching the two towers agin, and along with seeing reloaded, both are still fighting over me to become a fav. But i wont truely be able to decide until i see the third of each, (which are also going to come out in less than a year! Yay!) and then wait about a year or two, untill i see both at least ten times each, then i can say which of the two is the better movie.
