By far Revolutions. I know it's the 'cool' online thing to hate on the matrix now, but I for one loved Reloaded. I think I'm the only person who actually loved the rave scene too. It showed how different human beings were from the machines (having sex, dancing, celebrating, sweating). I can't wait to see how it all ends in November. RotK is definitely a close second. I loved the first two.

I have to admit... I am even more looking forward to Matrix... (although ROTK is still my no.1) because I just finished the game and I have seen alll or the Animatrirx episodes... and these two things have helped to fill in some of the holes left in Reloaded... I can't wait to see how they tie up all the loose ends.

I'm looking forward to all three, but I expect LOTR to be the best (based on the past two) followed by the Matrix (based more on the last one than the first one) with Star Wars way behind (based on the last two) so the one I'm most looking forward to seeing is LOTR, since I'd rather see a good movie than a not-so-good movie.

Really, if I hadn't been a pretty big fan of the first two Star Wars movies (aka Eps IV and V), and seen all of them, I probably wouldn't even bother with the final Star Wars.

This was a tough one, but I voted for Matrix Revolutions. I think it's a bit disadvantaged in this poll given the short wait time for the final episode and the complexity of Reloaded. I also loved Reloaded in spite of a few (in my view) minor flaws. Bottom line is that right now I have more questions than answers and can't wait to see how it wraps up.

RotK is my favorite section of LotR, and given the fact that the first two were f'ing brilliant, I have tremendous faith in PJ at this point. The bottom line, though, is that I know what happens and have a pretty good idea how it will look on screen. Hell, I'm more looking forward to the TTT DVD than I am to seeing RotK in a theater.

Star Wars is barely registering for me at this point. I can't really justify why, but I'm fairly indifferent. It might be that I generally know the outcome, and it might be that it's simply far enough away that I'm not thinking about it yet. I'll see it on opening day, though.

I enjoyed T3 and didn't expect to at all...go figure.

There was a time when completing the SW flicks was one of the biggest parts of my film geekdom. Those movies meant so much. Nowadays, rather than look forward to new SW movies, I just "hope for the best".

But with LOTR, I am beyond excited. ROTK may ruin cinema for me. After I see that, I may stop watching new films altogether.

Ok... gotta bump this thread up since both Lord of the Rings and Matrix have new trailers... I think at this point with about a month to go on those two... I would have to say for me... they are a dead heat! And Star Wars is dead last...

Well, to be fair there's not a lot of buzz around Star Wars since it comes out over a year after the other two films.

Matrix Revolutions is looking really good. Action packed, but not just endless bullet-time (which was overused in Reloaded). I was underwhelmed by Reloaded, but I am still very curious how the whole thing will end.

ROTK looks infreakincredible! I cannot wait until December 17!

I cant wait Return Of The King is released, because I wont have to hear how much better its gonna be than any movie ever made again. After that I'm looking forward to a month or 2 after the final say ultra extended uber edition of ROTK on DVD is released so I never have to hear how great and awe inspiring Lord of The Rings is.

True... but personally (without this turning into just another cap on Lucas thread) I was disappointed with Episode 1 and 2... and while I am looking forward to seeing the whole thing tied up in a neat little package... I am looking much more forward to the other two films.

I'd have to say ROTK, but to be fair, I'm going to see all of them and I'm looking forward to all of them.

However, I think that ROTK has the best chance of being a good movie, whereas SWIII and Revolutions seem to be setting me up to be dissapointed.

Hopefully I'll be wrong, and all three will be awesome.

How about Eddie and the Cruisers 3, one that is impossible is Frankenstein 1931, Colin Clive who Played Dr. Henry Frankenstein died 2 years after 'Bride' in 1937 he had been born in 1898. Another one that can't be 'tripulated' is Predator 3 for the man that fit the 'suit' Kevin Peter Hall died of A.I.D.S.


P.S. Is 'tripulated' a word or a net respelled word, to make it clear for a Triology?
