Due to rather extreme cautionary tales of the crapness about the sequels from friends whose opinions I trust, I never saw the two Matrix sequels so as to preserve the purity of the original movie in my mind

But in reality, the first one isn't that great. And those who didn't "get" the sequels probably don't "get" many movies to begin with, either. You have to be a blithering moron to be confused by the Matrix trilogy. Or maybe not blithering, but close enough.

I think its more that Xion was so gay (which is the first half hour of the second movie, and 4/5's of the third movie) that it was a turnoff to fans. Also they took alot of ideas they set up in the first one (about Neo, Morpheus, even Xion) and threw them completely out the window.

I was willing to forgive Matrix Reloaded (which I thought was shit on unmercifully by the fans) as long as Revolutions did well.

 

Then Revolutions pissed me off to the fact that I've never seen the Matrix sequels again, don't own the DVD's (which is hard for me since I'm a completist and I have the original and Animatrix) and in my opinion, the last 30 minutes of Revolutions completely destroyed the trilogy. I felt like I had wasted 9 hours of my life watching the Matrix movies at that point.

 

Imagine if at the end of LOTR, Frodo lost the Ring and the entire cast of characters just threw their hands up in the air and said "Oh well, guess we wasted all this time and effort for nothing" and the credits rolled. That's how I feel about the Matrix Revolutions.

Dames hits the nail right on the head there. I loved Reloaded (also my favorite of the three) and what they did with the story setup by the first one, but Revolutions really killed it for me as well.

 

I mean, the sequels even have Monica Bellucci. Can't go wrong with that.

 

Both Matrix sequels sorta licked ass. I understood them just fine. They just licked ass.

I mentioned the thing about understanding the Matrix sequels because most people said they disliked it because "they were too confusing".

Hugo Weaving made all three films watchable...Agent Smith is one of the better movie villians out there. I always liked how he kept referring to Neo as "Mr. Anderson". It's certainly not hard at all to figure the trilogy out, but the creators go so far out of their way to try and MAKE you confused, the whole thing ends up being crappy.

You know, I never really accepted Agent Smith as a bad guy (as a single entity, i just accepted the three agents as the "bad guy" entity) until the matrix reloaded (which is excellent after the first 30min Xion crap) pre-movie hype when they started singling him out as a villan.

kind of along your line of thinking, I never realized how much I liked Agent Smith until Revolutions...when it seemed he himself was a bigger threat than whatever that thing was that ruled the machines...when you're bad enough to scare the main bad guy, you're officially bad ass.
