I didn't think it would be this bad. And bad in so many ways. Everything that was good about the previous movies is gone. The visuals are subpar at best, there's no good action, the story is convoluted and dumb. For a movie literally titled "The Matrix", the characters spend almost no time IN THE MATRIX. And the little time that does take place there is lackluster, boring or downright terrible. Especially the final fight scene. There's just so much that went wrong here. And they can't excuse it on poor planning or direction, because the previous movie was literally written with a sequel in mind! There's so many moments in this film that make no sense or make scenes/themes from previous movies irrelevant. Also, for Neo being "The One" who saves humanity, it doesn't seem like humanity was very much saved at the end of the film (which is an excuse for the fourth movie in this series now). Whatever, Reloaded was mid but this is just bad. I'll be blocking this out of my memory to save myself from remembering how far The Matrix fell.
