Confusing and Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (21 November 2003)

*spoilers ahead*
I didn't know what to expect when I heard that the Wachowski brothers were making 2 more matrix movies but now that I've seen them I wish they had just left it alone. "Reloaded" was much better than this mediocre movie, I gave it a 4/10 based on the special effects and probably the storyline of the first part of the film, the rest of the movie went downhill from there. It's absolutely disappointing that the first movie which had so much promise and power had a terrible conclusion in the end.
Neo didn't make any sense in this movie and by the end of it I wondered whether it was better if he had remained Thomas Anderson. I mean he sacrificed his existence for Zion and ended up where exactly? In the machine world? Then there's poor Trinity who's role in the 2nd and 3rd movies ended up just being some love sick girlfriend who died again for no noble reason at all, what happened to the butt kicking woman from the first movie? Then there's Morpheus who was slick in the first movie but ended up being a total whiner and pansy by the last movie? Here are my questions-
What happened to Tank? Why the hell did Link and Zee get a storyline when their characters were so boring? Why didn't Naiobi get a role in the first movie? Why was Agent Smith so determined to take over everything including destroying Machine city? Why didn't they give Neo and Trinity a happy ending? Why did the oracle, ghost and that indian girl survive?
Overall the Wachowski brothers completely destroyed the concept of the Matrix....
