I’ve not seen the sequels. I feel like the first movie is an open and shut case. What room is there for a sequel? Perhaps I’m being closed minded, but I just don’t see how they could be anything but lame.

I seem to vaguely recall liking one or two sequences from the second movie, but the rest is super lame and forgettable.

I don’t even remember which one came first, Reloaded or Revolutions.

I rather liked one of the 2in1 fanedits of the sequels. Matrix Squared, I’m pretty sure. Nope, it was Decoded. If I remember right, the .info listing includes a Vimeo link to the whole thing.

I prefer Matrix Hacked. It twists the story around in a pretty unique way. One of my future projects would be to update it to HD.

Dezionized is also good, since the Zion scenes are the worst parts of the sequels.

I disagree. They have problems but they also have good stuff (especially Reloaded).

And yes, the original was self-contained, but so was Star Wars.

The Matrix didn’t need sequels, and the ones we got stunk. All I remember liking is a highway chase scene.

There’s a new Matrix movie in development. Not sure if it’s a sequel or reboot.

Neither did Star Wars.

I disagree but that’s a better argument than your first one.

(although I agree that most of Revolutions stunk)

My problems with the sequels was how bloated they were due to them being one film stretched across two, since the Wachowskis wanted movie 2 to be a prequel and movie 3 to be the sole sequel. Instead, WB forced them to make both 2 and 3 into sequels, so their intended second movie got condensed into the Second Renaissance part of the Animatrix, and their intended third movie got expanded when their wasn’t enough story to support it.

Decoded was, for me, the closest edit I’ve seen to capturing what was likely the intended single sequel, and the only one I’ve seen that cuts out all that stupid forced cliffhanger filler that was the train station at the beginning of Revolutions.

It gets a little clunky with the way Neo’s blinding and Trinity surviving is handled, but it worked for me much, much better than the theatrical versions of both sequels, and far better than Dezionized or any other edits I’ve seen.

I’d like to chime in and say I’ve ever seen it, but I’ve always wanted to.
