Reloaded could be my favourite if you cut it down to just the action sequences, because my god I love them.

But honestly the first 40 minutes (I checked the timestamp with my recent watch-through) are incredibly boring outside of the opening fight (which isn't as good as the rest), maybe Morpheus's speech, and ofc Agent Smith absorption. After that 40 minutes though it's a pretty great ratio of awesome to bad filled up largely with big action set pieces.

Revolutions... I like but it's got massive problems. Even just the first 20 minutes feel like an an unnecessary pause in the story to warp Neo into the train station and then just... go pick him up and we're back to business.

The biggest problem with Revolutions though is thinking I give the slightest shit about no-name Zion infantry which of course leads into the main complaint everyone has about the Zion fight.

they're pretty similar. they both have some interesting ideas and cool action and visual effects, but overall, they're somewhat poorly directed and vastly inferior to the original.

Watching both movies since yesterday, while they absolutely feel like a two-part tv series bit unlike the first movie, they're both still radically different individually. Reloaded absolutely excels at a whole bunch of action scenes (and yes, Neo Superman) all over the place which is very much not the case in Revolutions which doesn't even have Neo seeing any action until 40 minutes in, stripped away from the Matrix without his crazy superpowers (for the most part). It isn't even until the last half hour we get the final fight and by that point there's really been nothing else, even Morpheus & Trinity just had a very basic fight in the beginning of the movie and that's about it. Ain't no Katana Morpheus here that's for sure. Revolutions just really doesn't do the one thing Reloaded did really well.
