I think we two grossly disagree in our taste for films. Matrix revolutions IMO was just as bad as its predecessor, and the entire series could benefit from having both films struck from the record. As for Star Wars, I think the original series was only "OK" anyway, so RotJ didn't disappoint, and I never saw RotK as I hated the first two movies so much (I saw the second as a friend begged me to and offered me discounted tickets to do so).
I may have thanked the producers when I paid to see the films, but that doesn't mean I still didn't owe them to see the sequels. You pay to see any movie you see at the cinemas (in theory) - that doesn't mean some aren't better than others, and you may then feel a certain amount of respect and trust for the producers, and thus feel you owe it to them to see a third in a series after a mediocre second, when for instance if you had seen the second one purely on its own merit you may have no wish to see the third. I thought this concept was quite simple really.
