The sequels were flawed and somewhat disappointing, but they were still enjoyable. I was with you until you said Inception was better. The Matrix was an amalgamation of several great ideas that made it a classic: great story that was easily understood on a superficial level, but also had some esoteric philosophical ideas that hadn't been seen in big budget films before. It also had great fight choreography, great action, groundbreaking special effects and camera work that influenced many other films. In comparison Inception falls short.
Inception IMHO was overrated. I enjoyed it, but I don't like how Nolan gets a pass for fucked up editing in almost all of his films.
I do agree that the Matrix should of been what Star Wars is. I think the world of the Matrix lends itself well to other properties such as anime, videogames etc. and it's a shame that nothing is really being done with it.

"Inception" was dope, better than the original "Matrix"?, NO. Matrix changed movies with it's effects. The questions The Matrix posed were more deep than Inception. Again Nolan did a great job, no doubt about it but "The Matrix" is more Legendary and will be remembered more than "Inception".

If they dropped "Matrix 4" in 3D it would shut the box office down. I think they should do another film or trilogy. The Sequel hate is overblown. People only hate on the sequels cause of how Legendary the original was. As stand alone films they were pretty good blockbusters but when compared to the original Matrix, it's hard not to criticize them. One thing is for sure the action in the sequels were better and Keanu's martial arts skills were better in the sequels. "The Matrix" is the closet thing we will get to "Star Wars" as far as a sci-fi epic that affected pop culture while changing effects in Hollywood. Even George Lucas, Spielberg and Cameron admitted the original "Matrix" should be compared to the greatest sci-fi films of all time. Mind you these guys made Star Wars, E.T., Close Encounters, Aliens, Terminator and Avatar.

classic flick had the perfect balance of everything, i usually don't dig on love angles in my action movies (which i consider it to be predominately) but not only was Trinity a bad ass in her own right but i thought the way she resurrected him was pretty dope he surely went in on the puss when he jacked outta the matrix
I LOVE reloaded and put it on par with the first for me 3 was a huge let down I just feel like they could have ended everything a little better, first two are tens last one is a 7 overall i'd give the trilogy an, NO movies are coming close to the goat trilogy of LOTR though

"Inception" is only 1 year old and "The Matrix" just had it's 13th Bday and dudes are debating if it's seeing "The Matrix"?, LOL, "Inception" has a long way to go to even be in the same sentence.
Good thread. This film was a classic. One of the G.O.A.T.S.
It's just a shame the sequels were so bad. Some of the actions scenes and special effects were cool, but a lot of them were over-the-top even for a setting such as the Matrix to the point where it felt like a video game.
Unfortunately anybody who's studied philosophy knows Reloaded & Revolutions were wack.
Unlike the first Matrix which was intelligent and thought-provoking, Reloaded & Revolutions were pretentious and nonsensical and filled with what is known as pseudoscience...aka bullshit.
Also if you notice, Reloaded was completely pointless. By the end of the movie they are right back to square one and accomplished nothing. NOTHING!!!! It seemed like a theme for the entire movie.
What was the point of the long ass smith fight? NOTHING! Nigga got bored than dipped.
What was the point of the long sword fight in that ball room? NOTHING!
What was the point of that long as car chase? NOTHING!
What was the point of the architect's long ass speech and giving Neo that crazy ultimatum? NOTHING! He saves Trinity and there's no consequence!! Did any of y'all catch that?
There's no consistency with Neo's powers. A sword cuts his hand? But then in the next film Smith power bombs him into the ground creating a giant crater and he's still alive?
The sequels were just complete trash.
"You don't truly know someone until u fight them" No dumbass.... no.
"You didn't come here to make the choice, you already made, you're here to understand why" Stop trying to sound smart!
"We're not here because we're free, we're here because we're not free..." Nigga shut da fuck up!
"Love is just a word.... Karma is a word" Smh.....
ergo......
The difference is the first Matrix was smart, and the sequels were TRYING to be smart and failed miserably.

I've heard about this, her stories also inspired Terminator but I heard she dropped the lawsuit so I'm sure she got some settlement. Regardless, it's a brilliant film. From a pop culture standpoint, it's like a bookmark in movie history. Also Lawrence needs to get more credit cause he CARRIED the movie acting wise. Keanu and his 1 liners were not the driving force. Lawrence explained the movie, he guided you through the movie. Amazing performance by him. Also the movie was ILL cause it really brought in the internet age since it was 99 when we were still using dial up.
