Devolution: "I've seen all of them, but probably like most people, only really found the first one to be 'groundbreaking', as it were.
The others had their own interesting concepts like the 'Architect' and more... But I feel the sequels were mainly that... Just sequels to cash in... I'm sure they could have easily condensed both films into one... There was far too much trundling and eye-candy..."

from what I remember of the three Matrix films I think I'd go along with that. First one's a classic. The other two were more 'style & complication over content' 8)
