This question came into my head about a minute ago, I've been watching The Matrix today the whole lot of them and I was thinking the Reloaded and Revolution kinda suck, I mean there not too bad but there just not too good either, I don't know what it is but they seemed less engaging they seemed dumbed down with the illusion of intelligences that serves in my eyes to make the final two pretentious rather than philisophical.

The first film was ace, it's all the way up there on my favourite films list, it was smart, it had characters that were deep and cool, it had Agent Smith probably one of the coolest movie villains there is, it had the lobby scene, the subway fight and the training room fight that is just made of win, the other movies had good fights but nothing to match the fights in The Matrix, one of the problem is that they made the agents seem underpowered, in the first film they were a big threat, they were near impossible to kill, you see one and you run, on the other movies they don't seem so intimidating, Morpheus is on par with one while on the truck were on The Matrix he got laced by smith with ease.

They seem even less of a threat when the French guy's goons posed more of a threat to Neo then the three agents at the beginning or the thousands of smiths, even the monk with the glasses (I can't remember his name Sephius or something) was on equalling Neo on fighting prowess which made the Agents seem as if there not even a threat any more.

Anyway tell me what you think. Which sucked or didn't suck and why didn't they or did the suck.

Edit: Another thing that I thought was a bad Idea was making thousands of smiths, they really should have just stuck to one Smith who was just as bad ass as Neo like the one in the end of revolutions.

Like almost all films, the movie's quality degenerated with each installment.

The first was great, the second was better, the third was a step down.

The Animatrix, particularly Detective Story was excellent.

The first one was really good, but the next ones got too preachy and emo for me to like them as much. The CGI was really cool though.

The first film was brilliant, and certainly the best of the series.

The second wasn't bad, and the third was alright as well, although neither of them were anywhere near the standard set by the first film.

The few installments of The Animatrix that I saw were quite good as well, although I never did get to see them all.

First is genius.

Second is confusing, then extremely dull, then confusing again.

Third is dull. Then dull. Then improves a bit with a big fight scene. Then dull. Then pointless.

The three were films were alright. I don't seem to have the same problems with the latter two films that everyone else has, but that is probably being due to my only experience with any of these movies was a marathon were I watched all three in a row and the second movie started around 11pm.

1st - best of the lot
2nd - didn't mind, been a while so I don't remember the details
3rd - see '2nd'
I've only seen like 5 minutes of the animatrix so I can't comment

Clearly you've never seen 12 Monkeys.

The trilogy just got gradually worse, I really like The Matrix and Reloaded was average but about halfway through Revolution I gave up. As the series went on it became less about the sci-fi elements that had made the original great and just degenerated into a generic action film.
