content: My mouth was agape, not as I watched this movie, but as I read all the reviews of people who praised it. I am astonished. Although, thankfully, there were a few reviewers who think as I do: the first movie was awsome, and the next two totally sucked. It's that simple. This trilogy wins first place, in my humble opinion, for the largest discrepancy in quality between the original film and its sequels. I will always love the first film, and try to forget the fact that the next two even exist. Some sequels (e.g., Aliens, Terminator II, The Two Towers)have actually managed to out-do the original. I would have been happy if the last two Matrix movies were half as good as the first. Two thumbs way down.
