I'm gonna have to go with LOTR on this one. Matrix was a very cool idea. It was fresh and had a computer nerd like me very attentive but in the first movie when Trinity brings in the love stuff... I really think the Matrix went down hill from there. I'm not saying love sucks in a movie but whenever love came into the picture in the Matrix movies I found it very cheesy and almost forced... like the writers thought they needed to have some love angle in order to make it a good movie. If they had kept it to one movie... I would have thought it was an awesome project but they couldn't leave well enough alone.

Although I'm not really into the LOTR genre (makes me think Dungeons and Dragons and turn based role playing games like that) I think the movie was well written and even better done. There were so many plots going on at one time and none of them were at all slow. PLUS! With me standing at a commanding 5'5" (That's 1651mm :P)... you gotta love a story where short people save the day.
