Yeah, there's so much behind every scene, every single shot.
But nevertheless: LotR is the better one (Although Hugo Weaving, "Elrond" from LotR, played "Agent Smith" in Matrix).

Yes, I love him. And, of course, the books are so much better than the movies, but... The films couldn't been done any better and I thank Peter Jackson for his beautiful work, his masterpiece. Everything bout the movies is just perfect: Every single actor, the beautiful landscape, the scenery...

Yeah, exactly the same with me. I dream to go to NZ after school (which means in another year)... That would be perfect. All these different landscapes: Snow, beach, veld and green forests... Incredible country.
Yeah, he's an awesome director, he proved so much sensitivity with the topic of LotR, I mean there was nobody before who dared to picturize it (except this horrible trick film. The movie company deserved to go broke!).
King Kong's got to be amazing, I'm pretty sure.

Indeed. It's horrible
But just as I said: Fortunately the company went broke.

And it's true: The names ("Neo" is an anagram for the "One", btw), the dialogues, the objects, the colours, the score... I heard at least 12 presentations bout that topic. I could show you mine...

I think its more acurrate to say that The Matrix is not so much based on The Bible Specifically, but more a composite of various archetypical and mythological themes from various world religions and belief structures including Judaism and Christianity.

Yes, that's true, but the majority of parallels is from the bible. So that means Jewry and Christianity.
