It's just my opinion...but...

Matrix was awesome.. and the reason it did so well, was by word of mouth. Unfortunately... the sequels faltered. They relied WAAAAY too much on special effects. I hate that. Granted, the first one had special effects.. but they were completely revolutionary to the american audience, and they weren't the focus of the movie. The second sequel... eh.. the only thing I remotely liked was the highway chase scene. The scene with all the Agent Smiths attacking Neo.. SUCKED. The graphics weren't that great! The third one... eh... it just went downhill. To me, it seemed like the directors were trying to focus less on storyline, and more on making "revolutionary" special effects. I like special effects, but not when the movie has to completely rely on them, and if they are much more subtle. Also, the storyline went downhill. I know there are a lot of matrix fans out there, but I think LOTR was WAY better, as well as Finding Nemo. The only way I could be DRAGGED into seeing the last matrix, was if it was on a local IMAX screen...
