Since it’s a “why the hate?” topic, I’ll just say that I don’t understand how/why The Matrix in its various forms polarizes so many people so strongly. People have looked at me like an alien when I say that they were all better-than-average sci-fi action movies. They seem like works where most critiques are based more upon their expectations than what was actually presented, which usually rubs me the wrong way.
They each have their glaring flaws, IMO, but I tend to go for less action oriented sci-fi.
