Reloaded did it for me. I've only seen bits and pieces of the third movie. The first one still kicks ass, though.

The second one was a bit of a pain to watch 'cause the story progressed OK (I particularly like the use of the Smith, Oracle, Marivingian, and Architect), but so much else about it sucked large donkey cock. In particular, the rave scene in Zion, the fact Zion was this HUGE, bustling metropolis and the humans were ridiculously organized and political (kinda took away from the whole run-down band of mavericks appeal of the ship in the first), and the ending that was so bad it actually was worse than the first's ending, which almost ruined the film for me.

The Wachowski's should just stick to smaller films like Bound. That kicked ass

The 2nd film was the best of the bunch. The 3rd film was just OK. It felt somewhat rushed.

I think the first film was the best because it left me wanting more. The other two made me sorry I got what I asked for.

I have to say the first two films were great, the third film was what I just pinched off in the hoop, and believe me, it wasn't pretty.

Now, the first film was definitely the best of all. I am completely behind the idea that they should not have made it a trilogy (seriously, just because George Lucas can pull it off, doesn't mean everyone else can).

The second one had some great moments and I enjoyed watching it.

The third one, don't get me started. What a downer, what a disappointment. In my opinion it was anti-climatic. It was the pretty much the epidimity of the emo song I pasted in DS. I wanted my money and the time I had spent in the theater back.

Haven't read it all, but it would be really nice if there was a movie archive for all of this.

As far as the movie, which I'm sure we've had our opinions said for every Matrix thread we've had, I really liked the 2nd movie. The 3rd one was a big disappointment, but the story from the online game looks really interesting. I'm just not going to spend my time on another MMO just to get into the story.
