I actually enjoyed the third movie a lot. I don’t know why it is hated so much. Fourth movie was an unapologetic cash grab.

Yeah, first movie was sort of "unique", the second one was a cliffhanger for the third one that finally explained what The One was all about. Spoiler for you: Smith is The Zero.

The only part I thoroughly enjoyed was when they meta-explained why they've made the cash grab.

Just because they are honestly able to tell me they are phoning it in for money, doesn’t do anything for me. I’m glad that I won’t be watching Keanu anymore. He was so bad, especially in cyberpunk. Ugh.
