I loved the first one. The other two sucked.
And my love for the first one is the only reason I didn't walk out the theater 30 minutes into the second one. There was no way I was wasting money on the third one, I waited till it hit TV.

Someone is going to vote for 2 or 3 just to piss everyone else off. This shouldn't even be a poll.
I'll give the freeway scene its due, but otherwise 2 was a letdown, and 3 was a travesty. I don't think I've even been able to watch 3 all the way through yet.

I liked the highway scene in the 2nd one, and the mech fight in the 3rd one, but beyond that, I don't really remember much from either of those movies. It seems almost as if those guys were suddenly caught off-guard by the smashing success of the first movie, and just threw some stuff together for the sake of having something of a storyline. I think the French guy and Monica Belluci's character needed more character development, they were the only interesting/memorable characters besides Neo, Trinity, and Smith.
It's not surprising the online game flopped too. Had they of released it after the first movie, it might've done better. I recall reading a game journalist's in-game interview with a GM, who promptly went and kicked the journalist's character's butt after the interview was over.

I think the problem was the success of the first film gave those idiot Wachowski brothers creative control and they just aren't very creative. They are pseudo-intellectual dipshits who think they are clever amalgamating lots of borrowed ideas and a smattering of Christian symbolism in to a sci-fi film.
It falls flat on its face because the later two films are only as clever as the two dopes who made them.

I loved the first and third ones. The second one was ok but not that great imo. I loved the third one just for the battle scenes in the dome.

Wow, I heard about that story years ago but didn't know she had won the case. I always suspected her story was true, though. Given how bad the writing for the last two movies turned out, I didn't think they could have written the only decent story in the series.

A rip off? It borrowed from a lot of sources, yes, but nothing too similar to it to call it a rip off. Besides, we regard many movies made from books and plays as great films all the time. Nobody called No Country For Old Men a rip off, because it was an adaptation. If the Wachowski's happened to borrow illegally from an earlier script, it may affect your opinion of them, but it doesn't affect how good the movie is.

Rich people stealing from poor people, in a real sense. Not in banks foreclosing on your poor ass and taking that house you never paid for.
But wealthy assholes literally stealing someone's work, passing it off as their own, but when you're called out on it, instead of paying her quietly you let it get dragged into a court room where you assume that since you have the better lawyers you're going to win. Well you lost, it explains why the follow up movies are crap.

You cannot make a great movie out of somebody else's written material unless you have talent. Even if you credit the Wachowskis nothing in the writing department, even if you think they're the scum of the Earth, the first Matrix is still a great sci-fi/action movie. To me all the other stuff is not relevant to the film.

I'm guessing the Wachowskis, since they actually wrote those. Bazing!
