Questions...questions...questions!

Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting?
Why did the Wachowski brothers do it? I guess some people just don't see when they have something good, and go to every length to try and make it better. In my opinion, and in the opinion of many other IMDb users I see, the first Matrix was, for lack of a better word, perfect. The first time I saw Reloaded I thought it was just as good as the first installment, but now that I think of it, having seen Reloaded for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th time...Im starting to realise that the only reason I liked it so much was because I was starved of such a film between 1999 and 2003, and appreciated whatever was given to me! Who knows, maybe if Revolutions was released in say another 6 months, it may have had a more positive impact on the audience (on the true Matrix fans at least). Is it only me, or do others also feel the need for a 4th part to this...erm...trilogy? When the end credits started rolling, I still sat there in the theater thinking..."Ok, this can't be the end...!" The Wachowski brothers needed over 5hrs of film to show the audience what happens in the Matrix within a mere 24hrs and in all that time STILL managed not to answer some very important questions, like what happens to some of the main characters of Revolutions after the last scene! I came out of that cinema having more questions, than I had when I went in 2 hrs earlier!
Despite all of the above...I think its worth seeing the film, for three reasons: 1)the effects (most, but not all) are quite mind boggling! 2)the soundtrack is fabulous 3)to learn what concluding parts of really good films should NOT look like!
Oh and just to finish off... does anyone else agree that there could have been a more adequate title for this film eg. "Zion" or "The Real World" because.... I really didn't see too much of The Matrix in there!
Im waiting for part 4!
