I watched the first two installments once, each, and have no desire to see either of them again. If I had to summarize my opinion of the movies with a single word, I might choose "ho-hum" or "blah." If the movies were more engaging/interesting -- if I cared more about them, one way or the other -- I might have upped the ante to "pretentious." Alas, neither movie warranted even *that* much emotional investment from me.
I'm sure I'll watch the third (when my friends finally buy it), and I'm confident that I'll have the same (or a similar) reaction.
I think Keanu Reeves is one of the least-talented "actors" ever to reach "star" status. Given that, I think he was perfectly cast in the role of Neo. Blah movie; blah character; blah actor. His best work (his only *good* work), as far as I'm concerned, can be seen in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" and "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey."
Blah blah blah. :-)
