Hard agree.

It’s like the tv show that had a perfect ending for the first season yet somehow kept going! (I love it when that happens)

I was the exact same! I had to see it twice before it fully made sense

I've only ever seen the first...thrice. It is pretty much perfect on its own. Maybe I'll see the sequels at some point...

I’ll go even further and say I don’t enjoy the first film so much anymore because I can’t unsee it being turned into a franchise. And the way people have interpreted it for their own beliefs despite what the film makers intended hasn’t helped. But just on its own, no strings attached it was great.

💯

If it's a single film it's not a series.

You're not even meant to see the most recent one. It was made as a middle finger to Warner Bros for forcing the directors on it, afaik.

Yep! I feel the same way about this and Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. Story is neatly wrapped up with no loose threads, but a good jumping-off point for fan-fics to go nuts.

Ani-Matrix can stay though?
