No, the Wachowski's made the first movie with two sequels already planned. They actually altered the first movie to make it work even if there were no sequels in case it flopped. When the first movie did do well, they began producing the sequels (which is more of how they wanted the first movie to be like).

Read my post wiseguy, I didn't call people ignorant and close-minded because they didn't enjoy the movies, I called them ignorant and close-minded because they hated the movies for the wrong reasons. Many people hated the movies because they didn't understand them and didn't WANT to understand them. Just read some of the opinions on the Internet as to why the sequels were "bad." Most of it is based on information about the movies (especially plot details) that is simply wrong. Check out the Matrix threads on this very forum...over half of the replies are saying the sequels sucked because of a misunderstanding of the plot and the refusal to be corrected. I even recall one person saying that Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions sucked because "in the first one, Neo beat Smith, but now Neo can't beat Smith!!! Man these movies are bad!"
That's a great example of saying the movies are bad based on false information and a complete misunderstanding of the story. When I corrected the person, they would not accept the real plot. That's ignorance. If you simply hated the sequels, that's fine with me, but don't base it on false information else your opinion is invalid.
