I think you may be overly harsh

Probably due to people like myself hailing it as the best thing since sliced bread. I liked the plot, it was there happening, and yes it didn't fully get explained until the near the end, but I didn't see a problem with that. I thought the suspense of not knowing exactly what was going on added to the film.

Well I think the best we can hope for is agree to disagree. After all these are our oppinions and neither of them (I reckon) will change theirs soon. I will have to watch it a second time soon (for a number of reasons ... Trinity being only one of them) and then I might have refined my impression.

Where did the whole ... it is isn't a film in it's own right come from. I won't go into the big closure that marks the end of the film in here for some people will still not have seen it, but I reckon it is definately as much of a film in it's own right as Empire is.

I don't feel that the film would stand up on it's own. Most other trilogies at least make some kind of attempt to make sense without having seen the previous films. Not all of them succeed all the time, but I felt that this didn't have much to stand on it's own...

As you say, I may change my opinions once seen again and once not quite so tired :)

How about this suggestion

Let's compare notes after we both have seen it again. Both our opinions will have been refined by then.
