As I told you on AIM....

The first Matrix movie is watchable as a standalone film. If you are going to watch Reloaded you need to watch the trilogy to make sense of the mess.

I was disappointed with Reloaded when it came out, but going back and watching Reloaded and Revolutions I realized they managed to make a decent film.

There's some cool stuff in the sequels that you would miss out if you just ended your viewing with the first Matrix. As far as special effects go, the first film does look dated at parts. Reloaded had some horrible CGI (the battle with Neo vs. all the Agent Smiths in the park). And Revolutions looks pretty good.

All in all the special effects are still pretty impressive, especially given when the films came out.
