So we went to see the Matrix Reloaded with some friends last night. I hadn't heard reviews from a christian standpoint yet, so I didn't really get a warning for that one five minute scene, but other than that I liked the movie. No, I'm not saying I'm holding myself responsible for recommending it to you.

Anyway, I was thinking about the fight scenes. Maybe I just wasn't watching hard enough, but with Neo it was pretty much guarenteed that he wasn't going to get hurt all that bad and he would beat the snot out of his opposer. In the few other action movies I've seen it's always annoyed me when the hero was always getting beat so badly and somehow fighting back (though it appeared he probably was all mushty inside). Hmm... Nearly perfect hero or seriously flawed and hungry for more... isn't there a happy medium? Ah, well. I don't really like movies with fight scenes anyway.
