I respectfully disagree. The Original Matrix is an innovative thinking man sci-fi movie, but I will admit the sequels were trying to be too much of a thinking mans movie, and they become overbloated.
I really enjoy The Original Matrix, and I think is one of the few movies from this genre in the past 15-20 years that really holds up well. I was suprised the movie did that well in the theaters because I really thought it would turn off many moviegoers because it had an interesting story, but it was able to combine that will cool special effects, so it pulled people like me who enjoy a good story when I go to the movies, and all the dummies out there who just want to see special effects;)
