Maybe I’m off base here, but I think current opinion is basically the same as it was at the time: Reloaded has some good stuff, but fumbled the ball, and Revolutions is trash.
This one might be better than Revolutions, but not by much.

It’s really surprising that you consider this a breath of fresh air that doesn’t have too much nostalgia. I thought this movie couldn’t get out of it’s own way with the nostalgia. It was so bogged down in the original, it couldn’t tell a coherent story. They were literally playing the original Morpheus red pill scene over the new Morpheus red pill scene! I found myself rolling my eyes a lot.
