Each one better than the last?

First, in the original Matrix, Neo is made a veritable god by the end of the film. In the second Matrix, he still fights kung-fu (exclusively, despite his apparent mastery of all the martial arts of the world). Does he like playing in God mode? Does this desire to fight preclude his obligations to win as quickly as possible? I don't know. But, did the writers spend enough time on the plot? No. The Matrix: Reloaded made little sense, and the final Matrix is turned into a pseudo religious quest. The mechanical fight scenes are poorly done ripped off reformulations of those in Animes like Gundam Wing (and the other multiple Gundam based shows). The beauty of the first Matrix is that they leave the ending to your imagination. The mystery is dispelled. Once the production company decided to make more, the writers tried to recapure the essence of the first and failing miserably. The plot degenerated and was subsequently reduced to fighting, explosions, and special effects. While cool, there really is no reason to pay upwards of 7 bucks for it.

imho
