The Matrix
I thought it was tedious, self-satisfied nonsense. Some impressive visual effects and a bit of half-baked philosophy did not a good movie make. Everything about it seemed to be focused on being cool, rather than telling a decent story.
The matrix trilogy is an excellent story. And I cannot agree with you. I'm sure you don't wanna hear an essay about it though. Everything fits so well and it's full of significance. The ending of it was brilliant.
They fucked up with that cringe 4th movie though
The first movie was okay, but they dropped the ball on 2 and 3 in my opinion. They weren't bad but definitely not what I'd consider brilliant.
I enjoyed the 2nd, but 3rd just missed the mark completely.
1st: Yes, let's explore this rabbit hole
2nd: Let's explore it some more and progress the story
3rd: same as 2nd but neo becomes wizard Jesus when blind, apparently.
Each to their own I guess. I enjoyed the ending, because that meant it was over ;-)
Do you mean just the first one or the trilogy as a whole?
I thought the first one stood up far far better on its own rather, many things left unsaid, rather than the rest which tried to fill out the story, and not too well
I mean the first one, as I've never seen the others :-)
I get that many people do like it, and that's all good, but I dislike how it often seems to be verboten to say even the slightest negative thing about the film.
The Matrix is great, it has some good explanation of philosophical concepts, yet is action packed and intelligent.
The rest of the trillogy, just meh...
The. rest. of. the. trilogy. is. also. widely. panned...
The matrix is good precisely because they don't spoon feed everything to you.
