Once again, don't know why I'm even addressing it, but. The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded both got good reviews, so obviously they didn't "blow ass." As for the Revolutions, there are many people who tend to think that it sucked. Although, I would argue this is because they couldn't understand it ... That's all I'll say about that.
You're not alone. Among my top 5 favorite movies, The Matrix Trilogy makes up 3 of them. I consider all three movies sci-fi excellence, especially Reloaded. Revolutions was spectacular. I think I actually like the first movie the less of the three even though it's still one of my favorites. 90% of the people saying that they hated the sequels are simply too closed minded and ignorant to understand the story, WANT to understand the story, or accept that the first movie was NOT how the Brothers wanted it to be. I wouldn't make any changes to the trilogy -- it began and ended exactly how I would want it to.
