The Matrix would have been a decent film had it not been for the recurring, overdone messiah theme. To me, it lost all believability when Neo comes back to life after being kissed. An otherwise very original storyline was ruined by a predictable ending and a theme that's been done ad nauseum. I think I'll pass on part 2 and 3.
When M*A*S*H ended in 1983, the cutline in the tv guide read, "130 million Americans laughed and cried as the 4077th went home." I finally saw the final episode about a year ago; laughing and crying is exactly what I did. It's ironic--in many ways, M*A*S*H was a parody of the Army in the Korean War. Its characters, though, were totally thorough and convincing. This, without a doubt, is the very best series finale of all time. Seinfeld doesn't even light a candle to this one.
I loved this film. It was very well done and a great way to end arguably the greatest movie trilogy of all time (with a respectful nod to Star Wars). This movie contains a line that has become my favorite in cinema history. When Doc is in the bar, depressed over being dumped by Miss Clara, sitting with a bottle of whiskey in front of him and holding a shot of whiskey, he spills the beans on the future. This violates all his beliefs about not messing with the space/time continuum. One of the men at the bar notices that Doc has been talking abstractly about the future for hours, discussing inventions that nobody understands. "How many has he had?" the man asks. And then the line that--in my opinion--is a priceless classic: "NONE! That's his first one and he hasn't touched it yet! He just likes to sit there and hold it!"
