>Oh and the problem some people had with the Matrix wasn't the overall level of violence, but the scene where Neo and Trinity cooly slaughter unwitting security guards.

That scene is an Al-Queda blueprint attack on an office building in the US. What is more disturbing is that scene is preceeded by a depiction of an aircraft crashing into a skyscraper. Looked cool when it first came out. After 9-11, terrorists (which is what Morpheus is) aren't so cool.

Compare the actions of Luke in Jabba's palace, giving Jabba several chances to hand over Han Solo without getting killed, and how he dealt with his father(non-violence and persuasion first) to Neo and Trinity's cold-hearted slaughter of innocent security guards.

Or more recently, compare the Terminator in T2 disabling police without killing them to that.

I can't stomach a story where the hero has no regard for people he should know are innocent of the evil that he targets.
