The first movie in both trilogies were the best. Remembering those movies kept me going back for additional disappointment in the following movies. I never read the Blade comic book so everything was new to me. Stephen Dorff was a great villian. Blade 2 was good but that last one was awful. The Matrix was just exciting with the special effects and action despite Keanu Reeves. His best and most believable role was in Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure. Every other role has been has been outside his acting ability but I didnt mind him as Neo. The storylines became predictable. What really bothered me was when Neo lost his eyesight. I was thinking is this the Matrix or Dune (Paul Atreides lost his vision). I guess it didnt help that I was reading the Dune series at that time. Even with the awfulness of Blade Trinity, I rank the Blade trilogy better than the Matrix trilogy.
