The Matrix DeZionized

[adam]

I don't get the whole Matrix hoo-haa. That is, I think they're all stupid. I don't understand the pedestal the first one was put on. It just seems like MyFirstScienceFiction Movie or something. That is, I think its appeal was that it presented science fiction to people who aren't normally keen on it, but they're disregarding the fact that it's stupid because it's stylish. No? I mean, I understand that two and three are stupid (and entertaining, at times on purpose and at times not), but why don't people think the first is the same?
