The Matrix Trilogy

[Elite]

The Matrix was one of the best movies of the 90's for sheer originality and style. When I watched it for the first time I was blown away, which doesn't happen very often. I couldn't wait for the follow ups, which ultimately were a huge disappointment. I really think they should have left it after The Matrix because Reloaded and Revolutions, despite their massive budgets never lived up to expectations. Did anyone like the sequels?

Hehe.

I do recall some posters trying to defend the rubbish, yes.

Is there some previous on this subject or something?

I watched the Matrix for the first time in ages a week ago and the effects looked a bit dated in parts.

It's just rehashed stuff with special effects. A shit film, followed by some more of them.

Thought that the first one was pretty good. The other two were appalling. From what I could make out they were just trying to be too clever for their own good.

 

It's not that often that you get a brilliant trilogy- where all three films are just as good, if not better than the previous ones. Even the Godfather slipped up with the third one.

 

IMO, at great risk of being torn to shreds, the best trilogy was LOTR.

I agree, I watched the other day aswell and thought they looked about ten years old.

Maybe because that was already written so they couldn't fuck themselves over near the end. Mine's the Bourne films, easily.

 

As for Matrix, I was obsessed like you wouldn't believe with the first film, 2nd and 3rd didn't touch it though. Biggest disappointment I've ever had with sequels.

Good shout on the Bourne trilogy. First class set of films that.
