Lol... I think people's expectations were really way too high for these movies. I mean, I'm a fan of sci-fi, kung fu and anime. Seems like that should be the only requisites to enjoy the experience. The entire trilogy was just like a live-action anime. And I'm completely down with that. I liked the music, special effects and eye-candy fight scenes. The metaphysicality of the movies just didnt bother me. I've been watching that weirdness for years in animes, a more obvious source of influence.
I'm not one of those Matrix jerks that think its the new Star Wars and try to use Neo as their dumb fucking internet handles every chance they get. But I'm also not one of those sci-fi snobs that can be equally as silly.
I enjoy them and I'm glad that I do. People forget how to have fun at the movies.
