Rewatched the "Matrix" trilogy. The first film is good, with interesting ideas and an original setting. I understood things that I couldn't grasp during my first viewing when I was young and naive. The second film didn't leave any impression on me back then, and it still doesn't now. It's a meaningless jumble of secondary characters introduced for just ten minutes, tons of special effects, and pseudo-philosophical speeches that don't carry any meaning. A complete waste of two hours. The third one is better than the second; there's almost no plot, but there are gigabytes of pathos, illogicality, and tasteless orchestral music. A typical sci-fi action movie. Overall, my feelings haven't changed over time. The first one is good, the second is pathetic and miserable, and the third is somewhere in the middle. And it's all because you shouldn't stretch the narrative into a trilogy just to make money, and you shouldn't come up with a weak plot when all the interesting ideas have already been filmed.
