10 Film Franchises You Really Should Stop Watching After The 2nd Movie

One of the most influential action movies in recent memory, The Matrix was bound to become a franchise. Of course, it’s important to remember what makes it such a great piece of cinema: incredible action, innovative special effects, weighty themes, and fantastic performances.

While the sequel is certainly a drop off in terms of quality, it still possesses many of those key traits that made the first so enjoyable. The fantastic action is back, along with the ground-breaking special effects.

Then along came The Matrix: Revolutions, which sorely lacks many of those key qualities. The action, although big, feels far more weightless this time around, with an overreliance on CGI.

The story this time around feels far less ambitions than what came before, with some of the big philosophical ponderings being left on the backburner.

As a conclusion Revolutions is pretty anti-climactic, with the narrative coming to conclusions that fans felt didn’t match the story that the previous movies set-up.

At least we always have the original.
