This hype is just incredible. I'm a BIG movie goer and I personal don't really care about the sequel. The first one was alright but I've seen better movies. People are going beserk over this film and I'd like to hear some reasons.

The only time I'd be this pumped would be if there was a new Dirty Harry movie coming out.

Well geez... just maybe some people like this series as much as you like Dirty Harry... but that's just a wild guess.

Different people have different tastes in movies. I am hyped for the Matrix: Reloaded, but I couldn't give a damn about any Star Wars or LOTR movies.

It is a matter of taste. Not everybody shares your interest.

Bastard!:| No one has quoted you yet so you still have time to edit that out. That's one of the things I for one would not like to know going into a movie. Thanks for spoiling it:|

The only time I'd be this pumped. I didn't say we should be pumped.

People have written essays and theses about Britney Spears, Eminem, and the Simpsons.

What's your point?

I can't answer for Glitchny directly, but the point is there is a certain depth to the Matrix that isn't found in many other movies. The sheer amount of possibilities that exist make the series very interesting. Because of all the different things that could happen, people are very excited about seeing the sequel. This is why we are seeing all the hype.

I LOVE computer generated movies.... like LOTR, Matrix, and even purely CG stuff like Final Fantasy.... The graphics and special effects are the main draw for me. I am also a Philosophy buff.... so any movie with a philosophical meaning to it is good to me.
