The first movie is really somewhat interesting and original, but 'Reloaded' and 'Revolutions' are just a simple action-movies with long and incredibly boring fight scenes.

This - except watching the 2nd & 3rd made me realise I didn't like the 1st much either.
 
 
 
..then after I misheard 'Neo and Trinity' as 'Neil & Trinny' nothing's been quite the same...

The first is the only one I was able to watch to the end. To be honest I don't remember much about it.

none of them. Rainer Werner Fassbinder's movie "Welt am Draht" ("World on a  Wire"), based on the same idea but 25 years before the first Matrix movie is way better. I saw it for the first time last year; Friede bought the movie on DVD. the movie had not been available for a long time due to some legal battle



and here a trailer with English subtitles:

heh...pretty easy to make a wise choice, as the first one is far superior!

Great movie.

The other 2 grew on me a bit (maybe because I forced it) but they are just kind of weak.
For me the series follows it own order for quality
The Matrix >>>>>>> Reloaded > Revolutions

I'll go with the only movie that has a plot.

I'm still waiting for the fourth episode, in which it's revealed that the Matrix is nothing but a dream set in the universe of Inception, which is nothing but a dream made by the Replicant and which had been programmed by the creators of Tron.

The original was brilliant, but the sequels were massive disappointments. Haven't seen them since the time they were in cinemas.

it will be revealed in Matrix V that it was actually a Holodeck programme by Data and Wesley Crusher from Star Trek TNG.

Then, what will happen in Matrix VI??? Shocked
I just can hope that J.J. Abrahams will take part in the scenario!

And that will be determined as soon as the TECH SUPPORT of Vanilla Sky finds out who the munchkins really are in Mulholland Drive and why we need to manufacture pencil Eraserhead's.

The one where special effects are still a little less importants than everything else in the movie.

I like the first movie quite a bit,and Reloaded has grown on me(love the whole freeway sequence).Revolutions was confusing and anticlimactic.

The Animatrix deserves an honorable mention.

What is it about Neil & Trinny, I don't get it.
 
I would have to vote the 2nd one because of the intensity of the two biggest fight scenes (the Agents Smiths and the marble "chiseling") and the precision with which these scenes were executed. Astonishing.

None. The concept was dreadfully unoriginal and the CGI style is the cinematic equivalent of autotune.

I have a soft spot for the first one because it was one of the first date movies with the woman who would be my wife.  Then again...

Oh crap. Tongue
