Reloaded was a decent sequel. Great action and effects. Yes there were bad parts. Like the last human city being negrotown, but it got awesome again when they left. Revolutions was fucking terrible, I saw it once and vowed never to see it again. I dont even remember much of it.

animatrix was pretty cool, I don't think I've watched them all but there were some interesting stories and some shitty ones, but the interesting ones were quite provocative. Mostly made me sad that I won't live to see my brain plugged into the matrix, but my kids or grandkids will
fuck them!!

The sequels were a let down, mostly the last one. That was a wreck.
Although... whenever I baby sit some burster maxes in Planetside 2 with my engie... I always think about the final defense of Zion scene with that kid running around reloading the exo-suits. Starts about 1 minute in.

Sue me. I liked them all. 3 the least, of course and the end of the 2nd film was terrible as well. Had they fixed a few things, especially the ending, the 2nd film would have been a great sequel.
Loved the wraith twins, the Merovingian, even that 1000 Smith fight scene. But wtf was that ending.

I liked the loose religious allegory of the first, but the latter 2 seemed more like pandering or self-indulgence.
Say what you want about the sequels, but the freeway chase scene is, and will always be, the shit.
I like the latter 2 Matrices a lot and I think the fact that I watched the Animatrix helped out a lot with that.
What also might have helped out a lot was that I was stoned out of my mind the first times I saw them.
Kidding aside, it's bullshit to say the action stopped after Neo became Jesus. Sure you think of the 100 Smith fight for reloaded but you are crazy if you didn't think this was an awesome fight scene:

it thought sequels were full throttle action and first one was a nice mix between action and story.

I remember the marketing during the matrix was fucking awesome too, I was working craaaazy hours but all they did was adverts that said "What is the matrix?" and I really wanted to fucking find out.
I think this was the last movie I actually went to the theaters multiple times for, too.
I will be a sad old man when they remake the matrix in 10 years or less

The 30 minutes of that film starting with the chateau fight scene is probably the greatest action scene of all time. Excellent cinematography, choreography, music, tension and omg i can't even tell any of the highway scene is CGI.
Doesn't matter how bad the movie is, it is saved by this scene, scenes.
