Their dialogue is some of the worst out there, in my opinion they are either giving you too much stuff thats irrelevant to the story, or are giving you the opposite, the whole "Trinity kisses Neo and he wakes up" dealie.

The problem I think is that while the first one proposed ideas, the second and third went really hardcore (I get the idea that the Wachowskis really believe this stuff) with them and killed the films. A good example of how to do a philosophical speech would be one from the first movie, or for example in SLC Punk when the stoner guy is explaining how lightning is an example of how there is only order in the world.

And the sequels were coming out right when I was getting out of that "unrealistic combat(!)" phase. But I think that they just became a little corrupted by their power, a little too into their story, as exemplified by the game, Animatrix, the MMORPG, etc.

The fight between Morpheus and Neo in the first one is still the best of the series! They teased us in the Matrix and Reloaded with Morpheus doing the knee smash again, he should have actually landed one in Revolutions just to make it complete. 

And they became alittle too onbessed with thier fighting and/or technology. In my opinion when you look at the fight scene in Club Hel in real time, with the guys running on the ceiling, it is a lot more effective that having EVERY. SINGLE. SHOT. IN. SLOW. MOTION.

And it really bugged me how no one realy aimed in that fight either. It's a shame. I dunno, watching the ending sequence of the Agents chasing Neo in the first Matrix, there was real sense of danger there (especially when the knife gets chucked at the doorway!  ), and that was just lacking from the sequels.

And wouldn't Trinity just DIE!!!?!??!!  Really, these guys are just like Lucas with the prequels, too many people are surrounded by yes-men in Hollywood, too much worship of the director.

Funny, seeing Christian Bale in equilibrium and Tom Cruise in the cassock in the MI:3 trailer makes me wish one of them had played Neo, it would have been a better ending result!
