Don't you hate being exploited?

OK... here goes. When I saw The Matrix I was thrilled. Wonderful plot... great graphics. Then came The Matrix II. Horrible movie. A few bits of plot and a lot of meaningless fight scenes. "Don't worry..." I was told. "... The final movie was broken in half to make it a trilogy. You must see the third movie to make a comment". I was dumb enough to buy that! Matrix III? *inserts finger deep in the throat* Pa-lease. I was so bored half way through the movie I wanted out. Too bad I was with friends and we wanted to go have a drink afterwards.
Bottom line? I must hand it to the Wackowskis (or whatever). They made a single good movie... then they played on our cravings for some decent cinema to drag us to the theatres to see two more run-of-the-mill movies, buy some DVDs and possibly the game. Of course they didn't care for artistic expression. They found the goose with the golden eggs, they slaughtered it and then put it on life support so it wouldn't die on them.
My vote? 1! Yes...1. The only two reasons I didn't give it a zero were that first of all I can't give it a zero for technical reasons and because the scene where they shot over the clouds and saw the sun was a great scene... possibly the only decent scene in this whole godforsaken pile of crap with some hint that someone wanted to get some art in the movie.
Oh... and BTW... I WANT MY 7 EUROS BACK!!
