Matrix vs. Star Wars

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2003)

I am sure I am totally going to get attacked for this comment, but I can't help but make it. I feel that Matrix and Star Wars are the same one one level, yet very different plot and character wise. The way that I think they are the same.
-Trilogy
-Matrix Reloaded is the most anticipated film since Empire (I have heard this fact numerous places, it could be wrong)
-They both are in their own sense cult classics
-They will both go down in history as the trilogy of the decade
-They both have an underground network of stories (the starwars has more, being around for 25ish years, all the books etc) (the Matrix has the Animatrix)
-They both stand out in the sci-fi genre
-Both can be read much further into, but can be seen for their complete cheesyness at the same time
-They appeal to similar audiences (at least as far as the generation goes)
-etc, etc, etc
I know that the plots and characters are completely different, I am in no way comparing the content of them films, just the entire...feeling? (for lack of a better word) surrounding these two trilogies.
And just for the record...I am a huge fan of both.
