Although I loved Ed Bloom, I had to go with Clark Griswold.

i gave him my vote, hoping someone else would do the same so that we can make sure that neo doesn't continue on.
i notice that no one has openly admitted to voting for him. :orely:

Please. Anyone but Keanu Reeves. As near as I can tell from watching The Matrix trilogy, the character of Neo was supposed to be cool, but then they cast Keanu Reeves.

Nah. Neo was supposed to be a basic jerk who finds out that he has incredible power. It's a cool world, but Mr. Anderson wasn't so great in character.
Still, whatever you folken might say, I voted for Ed Bloom, and I have no regrets.

You misunderstand. I meant that Neo was supposed to be 3 dimensional, not a cardboard cut out.
Well, I had to act like it was a presidential election and vote for someone who might beat out the one I loathe.

i kinda liked how his character (or him rather) was kind of distant and didnt show emotion. shit that's how i would be if i found out i was just a crop being harvested by machines.

But that's only an accident because Keanu is wooden and can't act. It's not as if he put a lot of effort into playing the character. He was just his usual dull, wooden self.

i could agree with this statement if (and only if) he didn't "play" the same character in every other movie he has been in.

It didn't for me. It ruined the movie and turned me off to the series.

I understood; I just don't think you're right to put so much emphasis on the performance. I wouldn't vote for him because Morpheus was the better character, anyway.
That's all.

why is ed bloom trailing peoples?????????? his character was a beautiful character and it was played fantastic well by both actors:rose:
just to jump in on the NOT NEO to win, i agree that the first matrix film was very good and the neo character looked like it may go somewhere but the 2nd and 3rd films killed the character for me as it stayed stuck in the same mould and did not develop any further.
just my two pence worth:rose:

I actually really enjoyed the idea behind Matrix. I just thought the execution of that idea was kinda fucked up. But I liked Hugo Weaving's Agent Smith.

No one's arguing with that. :couple:
I agree with candy; the best that can be said about Neo was that at one point it looked as though he might become a better character.
*sigh* Still looks like he's going to win, tho... no new votes. <_<
But maybe Ed Bloom will catch up! :D :excited:
:unsure:
Well, catch up a little more, anyway? Maybe? :)

I voted for him , on the basis of the first movie alone, which would imo have been better with out the other 2 films.:wtf:

I can't do that, and that's why so many characters are out of the running for me. If a character rocks in one movie but sucks in four sequels, that's 4:1 against so s/he is right out. For example, I couldn't vote for Bond because it was all Bonds and I don't think all Bonds were good.
The first Matrix was all right, but it was an out-and-out retelling of an old Outer Limits story (or was it a Twilight Zone? I forget exactly. I'm leaning toward Outer Limits, though.) so the storyline isn't exactly as innovative as it seemed. Likewise, "bullet time" was nothing new; it was just used A. LOT. Hugo Weaving was great, though.
EDIT: I don't need to put "I believe/I feel/I think/In my opinion" in front of all that, right? You guys realize I'm not making a blanket claim but am merely stating my opinion. WOOF!
