But seriously: it was a perfect ending. Now he’s Superman, kicks everyone’s ass, frees mankind. The sequels were not only shit but completely unnecessary.
“Great” is a massive overstatement. They were passable movies that suffered from bad pacing and exposition dumping. I don’t hate reloaded or revolutions, but I’m not going to go out of my way to watch them like I do for the first one.
The biggest problem with those two movies is that the pacing was awful. You had exhausting fight and chase scenes followed by scenes that had way too much mumbo jumbo dialogue. Every scene could have been made shorter without losing any plot points.
Is only mumbo jumbo if you don’t understand them. I got them just fine. And the action scenes were groundbreaking, nobody else tried something like that before in Hollywood movies, it was a delight to see
I understood them all just fine… Still poor pacing. The first movie was basically half buildup for the second half’s continuous action. Two and three both suffered from the abrupt slow down after the action scenes that I personally feel never really got “better.”
I mean, I’ve got them all so I’m not going to pretend they’re as bad as other movies that we pretend didn’t get sequels but they just worse than the first one.
That said, I would regularly rewatch a cut that was just all the action scenes.
Matrix
Yeah, would have been nice to find out what happened after Neo flew away. At least Rage was playing.

Dude, it has sequels. I especially loved revolutions.

Is this a joke? Matrix has 3 terrible sequels.
Reloaded and revolution?
I know it’s a joke. But is bad, especially since those movies were great and made money.

Matrix sequels underrated crew rise up!
Say what you will about the Wachowskis, they never fail to push boundaries and try something weird and interesting with every film.
I’m very glad that the people who don’t appreciate that haven’t stopped them from doing what they do. What a bunch of wet blankets.
