Top 5 Worst Sequels: Matrix Revolutions

"The Matrix" re-imagined the modern action film. "Matrix Reloaded" fumbled the franchise's narrative, but delivered enough cool action to make us swallow the mumbo jumbo. "Matrix Revolutions" gave us ... nothing beyond a dull headache.

The 2003 sequel left so little impact on me that I couldn't recall much about it minutes after leaving the theater. I sure as heck can't remember the details more than four years later.

Suffice to say Neo and co. wrapped up the franchise in numbing fashion, and the number of times the story folded in on itself left me woozy. Some sequels can't dent the legacy of the original. But that's not the case with "The Matrix," which saw its place in movie lore wane with the release of one mediocre sequel and one outright stinker.
