The first one was great the second one was ok the third one was a bit dissapointing.
I realy didn't like the final fight scene or the key maker story from the second one. Although the highway scene was epic.
I think they should have made more of the third one outside of the matrix and they should have tried to defeat the machines not just defend their underground bunker and accept a truce.
One or two characters also kind of annoyed me in the second and third ones.

The first one was awesome! The rest were not on the same scale at all, but not overly bad films.
The tribal orgy scene should have been cut, it was **** as was the 'sex' scene.
It's frustrating they couldn't make two more films as the second two seem worlds apart from the first one.

I'm of the same opinion of most of the people in this thread.
The first film is amazing, one of my favourites of all time. The sequels are "meh". I would have preferred they weren't made.

The first film was amazing, my only criticism of it was the ending, it never followed on into the next film, like neo said he was going to put down the phone and show everyone the real world they live in, and he crashed the system, the next film should have followed that imo.

You could probably cut two and three up in to one film that should have been the second one and then the third one could have been about actually defeating the machines in the real world and freeing all the people in the matrix.
Based on the fact that the 2nd film was so bad that I never bothered to watch the third, then I'd say it should definitely have been one film. Usually I really like to know how things end, but I've never had any inclination to sit down and watch the 3rd film.
I don't know how anyone can draw any sort of comparisons between the original and the sequel.

I still say it was because it was a matrix inside a matrix inside a ....
Really? The first was great, but the sequals are horribly contrived, plot hole filled nightmares that got worse with each installment.
The same could be said for the Matrix trilogy. The first was great, but what came after was just a big let down.
Both go along similiar lines, the first movie has substance and a good storyline the sequals become increasingly more about "big visuals" and style over substance.
Neo is connected to the Matrix wirelessly.

The Matrix is my all time favourite film. The second and third, as many have said, do not live up to the first. They had fairly uninteresting fights, a lousy story, and too much standing around talking (especially in the 3rd film, was just filler and blah blah...).
What they could've done instead was expand on the plots seen in the Animatrix, focusing a film or two upon the other crews of Zion and their adventures. The 'Final Flight of the Osiris' was amazing (that CGI!), and could've easily been used as a base for making a quality feature length story about the investigation of, and battles between, the humans and the machines.

I always thought that Neos powers originated by having access to the code of the matrix and manipulating it. When returning to the real world he was able to 'hack' that as well, although to a lesser extent because it wasn't a matrix - real life has a much more complicated 'source code'.
The idea of him being just wireless communicating ruins the idea somewhat.
They actually missed a trick, the only way that could logically be explained was if the real world was an upper level matrix. So a matrix within a matrix, it's heavily hinted at when NEO in the 'real' world is blinded and sees gold coloured code instead of the usual green code in the normal matrix. Sadly they never fully developed the idea and instead we had a horrific ending.
I used the term "wirelessly connected" loosely, however, and wasn't intending on ruining the experience.
Having powers that allowed him to access the Matrix without being inside felt "wireless" to me.
Either way he is "the One" and having superpowers in the real world would be logical.
Are you saying the "real world" was still a Matrix? And there is another "real world" outside of that?
