as someone said to me once, the main problem with the matrix films is that people went into the first film expecting overblown sci-fi action and got cod philosophy, then went into the next two expecting something deep and philosophical and got overblown sci-fi action.
i don't mind the final two films, but they're pretty mindless.

The sequences were a major disappointment IMO; a shameless attempt to cash in on the success of the original film (so much so that they felt the need to stretch the non-story into not one but two films). They probably thought they were creating the epitome of cool with that cringeworthy Zion rave scene. As for the characters, I found myself not giving much of a shit if they lived or die. Trinity in particular was insufferable.
I like the track played during the highway chase scene. And the wife of the French bloke, who's fit as fuck. Other than that, shite. The architect? Six previous Matrixes and Zions? Fuck off.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
Between the first film and the two sequels one of the brothers divorced his wife, moved in with a dominatrix and became a transgender/transexual. It makes me think he might have not exactly been a 100% focused on the script writing preproduction phase of the two later films.
Oh and Will Smith was the first choice for Neo. Shudder.....

Who can honestly say they haven't done that though?

Explains the start Revolutions though doesn't it?

The first film has a protagonist that you follow on a journey of discovery. There is genuine peril for his life and the other heros around him, then he overcomes the super baddies in a triumphant overblown battle, using powers that nobody has ever seen before.
In the next film we don't follow neo anywhere, all the other heros can now take on all the agent smiths that they couldn't possibly battle let alone defeat before. Then there are even tougher baddies and everyone can fight them without dying too.
In the last film they could have just won by having more than one EMP in their base. Every ship had one FFS. In fact they could have just won back the whole planet by doing that. Instead the solution is to just carry on with everything just the way it was? Jesus, did we really need two 4 hour long films for that?
They should have all been in a deeper matrix or something cool like that.

That's another thing about the sequels. The tie in phones were shit.

Wouldn't it have been brilliant if in the sequels they discovered that zion and all that stuff about being in the real world was just another level of the matrix to stop people escaping and they all had to find a real way out.

eXistenZe was worth 10 Matrix films. In concept and execution. Also, an organic weapon that fires tooth bullets?
