The Matrix Trilogy discussion

[The Debts]

The first film will always be the best, no question. But for all of their flaws, the sequels at least tried to do something very different philosophically and thematically. They actively try to expand the world, both the digital and real, in strange ways. I'll admit that the Wachowskis bit off more than they could chew with them (mainly with the second film than the third) but they're still entertaining and sport a personal thumb print about them that most blockbusters in the past couple of years don't have.

I hope with the 4th film, Lana takes an approach that balances the simplicity of the first with the ambitions of the sequels. Don't be afraid to get weird and out there (the reappearance of Carrie Anne Moss definitely suggests something going on) but don't let it get out of hand either.
