Yeah the trilogy was decent, but decent only in my opinion.

And I think it's only 'decent' not because I don't understand it, but because it takes so much effort to fully understand it.

You shouldn't have to hop on message boards, watch the animatrix(which was absolutely fantastic by the way), play the games, etc etc etc just to get the full and complete story out of the trilogy.

I don't think it's even worth "understanding," and that's coming from a movie fan who rather likes film trivia. There's far too little actual brain teaser or groundbreaking concepts considering the amount of intellectual posturing in the 2nd and the 3rd movie. Either that or I was too distracted by the general retardedness of the actors and their dialogue. For every cool thing that happens in the movie, there are three SELF IMPORTANT AND POMPOUSLY EXPRESSED event. Lines like "no one can see past the choices they don't understand" are pure crap. They may as well have dialogue like "one cannot eat food that does not exist," but then it would be too obvious.

In a way, I think the Wachowskis were smart enough to realize that they didn't have the skill to properly elucidate their ideas, or had too few ideas, and resorted to masturbatory vague references. With issues like creation, causality, and existentialism (etc etc etc) all typical fare for the metaphysical equivalent of infinite loop discussions, how can you go wrong, eh? Some fans find it worth their time to discuss the philosphy to hell and back, like here:
