It’s like they complete walked away from the identity of the movies.
That's it. It's a major reason why I was so turned off from the sequels. But 2 does have some good bits. Like the highway chase sequence. That feels very Matrix and has some nice tension going on. 3 though I totally zoned out on and really didn't care.
I actually really enjoyed Reloaded. Obviously not as tightly crafted as the first movie but it embraces the aesthetics of the Matrix so purely it feels like a supercharged Matrix 1. More skin tight leather, more overthetop slomo, more convoluted philosophical discourse. Just takes everything from the first film and dials it up to 100, which I can appreciate because they had the right to do it after making such a paradigm shifting action film in the first one.
Revolutions is just them not knowing how to reconcile all of the aesthetic choices that made the Matrix what it was with a major shift in setting.

Yeah that's it. They couldn't square that shit away and the ending is so lackluster.
