Matrix 1,2,3

[Dr Unne]

The first movie is good the first time you watch it. The good thing about the movie is the suspense though. Watching the movie a second time is boring. The second and third movies are terrible. Every hint of mystery is essentially sucked out of everything. The religious overtones are so obviously shoved into your face that they may as well have started calling Neo "Jesus" in the third movie. First movie B, trilogy D+.

The first film was fantastic, and the second often unfairly criticised. The action scenes were spectacular, and the plot decent enough to set the trilogy up for a decent finale. It's just a shame that the third film was lacking in every department, really.

I'd give the trilogy a B overall, since as a single story it's reasonably enjoyable. Factor in the Animatrix backstory with that and it's a good series, with the good outnumbering the bad to create a watchable product.

Part 1 was awesome, part 2 was a good setup for a good finale, but part 3 was not that finale. The last one was pretty bad.

[Pure Strife]

I liked the first one enough to buy the video, not the second two though.

in the third at the end fight scene, though, I kept expecting Neo's hair to turn gold and start shouting "Kamehameha!" all over the place.

Weren't we all?

[Shlup]

I'm pretty sure I really, really like it. Of course there are a lot of parts that just make me feel stabby.

[Cid]

I like to pretend that there was no Matrix 2 or 3.

Even after watching the first Matrix again, it's still a great movie.

The series got worst after each movie. Although Revolutions/Reloaded were just one big movie, it looked like the W Brothers tweaked it after the release of the 2nd one. I never liked the 3rd one all that much, the action scenes were pretty drab compared to the 2nd movie.

I saw the first one and it wasn't bad. I didn't even bother to see the second and third ones, because I knew they were going to suck.
