Speaking as someone who genuinely loved all four Mayrix movies, while simultaneously able to recognize the decline in quality as the franchise continued: The Wachowskis didn't understand the media they were ripping off. They were mashing action figures together, effectively, and that's ok. The first movie was lightning in a bottle, of course the sequels wouldn't hold up, but I'm glad they exist because it inspired a significant portion of my own writing.

I agree that having the Wachowskis back in charge of the franchise would be an improvement, not because of their skill as writers and directors, but because of the passion and vision for the art (assuming that they still care, anyway.).

I keep saying Reloaded and Revolution would make one great sequel if you cut all the crap out. As they are the scenes are just a little too long and there's too much gratuitous fighting. But there are enough great ideas for one great movie, just not two.
