Ugh!!!! The first movie was perfect in every way. Yeah, I didn’t hate the second Matrix movie–it was fine, good even, but the third? Ugh!!!! The first movie was perfect in every way.

Alice jumped off the cliff rather than face life as a captive. Hawkeye and Chingachgook were too late to save them, though Chingachgook killed Magua. Hawkeye and Cora, the older sister, lived happily ever after. One of my favorite scenes *EVAH* is Hawkeye telling Cora to stay alive as he says goodbye in the cave behind the waterfall. *melt* And yeah. Daniel was buff for that flick. *drool* Just in case inquiring minds wanted to know *LOL* — Uncas tried to save Alice, the younger sister, from Magua and was killed.

Loved The Matrix. Loved The Departed. I'm beginning to see a trend, here. ;) Seriously, I loved all three. I only liked the ending of the second Matrix film, but had high hopes for it, and I loathed the ending of the trilogy to the point that I was all "tra la la la la, I am ignoring your existence" and I pretend the ending did not happen that way. I mentally rewrite it so I can stand the idea of the trilogy. The Departed couldn't have ended any other way. I was shocked when that character died, and ultimately, realized, it couldn't have ended any other way to be true to that world. A different ending wouldn't have worked, and I'm a died-in-the-wool slut for HEAs, so I empathize with you, Edie. Another ending I loved (well, the final battle, I didn't really care for the last HEA, not the way it was shot)... was the Counte of Monte Cristo. The ultimate payoff of that final battle, though, was awesome. Loved Serenity. Loved The Matrix. Loved The Departed.

I think this is one of my all-time favorite movies. The "negotiation" scene where the English soldier and Nathaniel are talking to the tribal leader, bartering for her life is a heartbreaker.
