Animation is superior to live action. Especially when said live action tries to use excessive amounts of computer animation, which usually ends up being overblown. If a comic book is going to be made into a movie, it should be as a cartoon.

-The main value of the first Matrix was that it did things that had never been done before with action sequences. Other than that, it didn't have much substance. I'm not surprised people didn't like the other two films as much, because nothing in them was really new anymore.

-300 was not nearly as good as everyone made it out to be. The violence wasn't that great, and there wasn't even a whole lot of it. It was seriously mostly talking. Well, shouting. And there was that one scene with unnecessary metal music, which typically denotes a bad sword & sorcery film.

-Kenshin is overrated. The fight scenes in the comic are often incoherent, and the only part that was worth it was the Shishio arc. I'm not sure why everyone thinks he's such a great character.

-Gundam Wing, and the new Gundam 00 are boring and annoying.

-Advent Children was very poorly done.

-Bleach and Naruto (and a hell of a lot more, actually) are the successors of Dragonball Z. They all share about the same level of quality, which isn't actually that bad. The problem with all of them is mostly that the anime falls apart due to excessive filler and extension techniques. The manga remain decent reads, though.

-Eyeshield 21 is totally awesome, and is a brilliantly done comic. The manga, anyway. The anime really is crap, though.
