I would be glad to know which is worst: to be ravished a hundred time by pirates, to have one buttock cut off, to run the gauntlet among the Bulgarians, to be whipped and hanged at an auto-da-fe, to be dissected, to be chained to an oar in a galley; and, in short, to experience all the miseries through which every one of us hath passed, or to remain here doing nothing?

-- Voltaire, Candide

Ctrl-Alt-Del: The Matrix Reloaded

The Matrix: Reloaded

It didn't suck!

To be clear, the dialog sucked. The 'characterization' sucked. The premise (still) sucked. But overall, The Matrix Reloaded sucked much less than The Matrix.
