My patience had already been worn to the max when during the first part of the first movie when it kept changing the premises and what was 'reality' like every five minutes but when that had that revolting metalic spine thing pulled out of Keanu's stomach? Just. No. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on April 5, 2012, 9:43 am - (0 votes)

I liked the first one, though the philosophy stuff threw me considerably. Second and third ones...ugh. But what really burns me up is the fact just about any TV show or movie with a sci-fi premise woven in just HAS to make a Matrix reference at one point or another and run it into the ground (especially that damnable "bend over backwards dodging bullets in bullet-time" bit). -- Submitted By: (BigAl) on October 9, 2010, 3:40 pm - (0 votes)

crispy... drop the marijuana, lsd, or whatever you are tripping on, and step away from it.
The movie series itself. The first one was so mind blowing, and great, that it just stuns one to see how crappy 2 and 3 are. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on May 19, 2010, 6:27 am - (0 votes)

I liked the premise of the first movie and the bullet time effect was neat at the time. I hated the "goth" dress of the characters-- plus wearing shades in the dark-- was ridiculous. The guns and wire-fu combination seemed a little hokey, but whatever. But I thought the story about today's world actually being a false reality in a wartorn future was amazingly original... until I saw a mid-'80s anime called Megazone 23 which had the EXACT SAME PLOT TWIST, but done better. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on September 13, 2009, 12:05 am - (0 votes)

The first movie introduced us to some compelling characters as well as a very thought-provoking theme, of simulated reality and the conscious mind. On the ideal plane of existence, you got two more movies in the Matrix trilogy that answered those questions. It showed you how the first movie affected the real world and how things held up there and then the Matrix, and how everything returns more or less to a status quo with all the philosophical ramifications in check. BUT, what you got in the other two movies was crap: the second movie got all the dialogue and to fill a movie they made most of it redundant and flooded the storyline with too many layers and elements. And the third movie was all the action but, perhaps ironically, with the creators' needs to satisfy some insatiable technological fetish, they overdid computer generated scenes that were ultimately not all that breathtaking. The two movies were a convoluted mess and far and away from where the first movie began. Watching the three together is like reading a really bad college essay: great opening and then it devolves into a pretentious mess. -- Submitted By: (SamuraiPanda201) on August 13, 2009, 3:03 am - (0 votes)

I vote the sex scene between Trinity and Neo during the infamous rave as the worst in cinematic history. Absolutely ZERO chemistry, and both their haircuts were so short I literally couldn't tell who was who after a while. I believe actual robots would've shown more passion. -- Submitted By: (DolFan316) on June 10, 2009, 4:57 pm - (0 votes)

The first movie was ground breaking. The special effects with the jumping and the bullets were great. They were great the first time. Then every movie had to mimic the effect and it got really old really fast. They waited too long to come out with the second movie and the icing on the cake was the 30 minute rave scene. Couldn't bring myself to see the second one after that. -- Submitted By: (MCS) on April 6, 2009, 11:01 am - (0 votes)

I have a theory about The Matrix. My theory is that movie 2 and movie 3 are simply very, very subtle. No. Hear me out. Intended or not, I see the possibility of a very deep extension of the themes in the original. Here's my theory.
In the Matrix, there are programs. When a program has fulfilled its function, it ceases to exist until it is needed again. However, if you watch the movies carefully, I think you could make a case that there is NO real world depicted in the movies: that it is ALL the Matrix, and ALL of the characters are programs.
Think of the virtual Matrix world as your desktop and applications. The real world is Bios and OS.
Neo is a program. His function is to reset the system. When he does, he ceases to exist, but the Oracle predicts he will return, as always, to reset the system.
Morpheus must find Neo and see that he completes the task. We don't see his death. Trinity must connect Neo to the Machine Brain. The other captains must deliver Neo to Zion. The Oracle must give instructions to Neo (program him for his task). Watch the movies again. As each person fulfills an important function, they die. They're all programs. -- Submitted By: (crispy) on March 28, 2009, 6:22 am - (0 votes)

The Third film was so bad, that it has effectively taken away from the first and really only good film of the series. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 18, 2009, 7:02 am - (0 votes)
