If you think film #2 in a franchise is wretchedly awful, why waste money on film #3? Like the saying goes, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

The Matrix Reloaded impressed me a great deal. Revolutions did not, mainly because they derailed their own plot with an hour-long giant robot fight I didn't care about and sidelined their own protagonists. Not fun.
