So... what exactly is so bad about the Matrix sequels?
I watched the entire trilogy tonight on Blu-ray in one large sitting for the first time, and I have to say that the Matrix sequels aren't as bad as I've seen people make them out to be. I was generally content with the ending.
What was it? Did people simply hype them up to much or?

Noone watched the shorts?

4 RepliesWhat? There was only one Matrix movie. The guys that made it [i]surely[/i] wouldn't ruin a good movie by adding two more to it. Just like Lucas only made 3 Star Wars movies. >:

I think it was the hype and that there was an insane expectation

The plot really; they had a great plot ahead of them and instead they didn't perform in a good way. Eventually they went off the trail they had in mind with the first movie where it was a decent story.

They got more complex and off the rails as they went along. All the stuff about how the Matrix functioned and the philosophical was still there, but somehow the first one remained grounded enough to allow that to be showcased better.

They weren't bad. I think alot of the hate came from the fact that the first Matrix movie was equal parts action thriller/intellectual stimulator. There were alot of parts of it that made you think. The sequels however, were just protracted CGI scenes expanding on the idea of humanity vs. machines. Which was okay, but they lost the thought-provoking aspects of the first movie. However, the ending to the trilogy was just so ambiguous it was terrible. Cute Indian girl painting a rainbow in the sky for Neo? Get out of here.
