Actually, in retrospect, I could maybe agree with this...

The Star Wars Sequels make the original trilogy look pointless. Oh, you destroyed both Death Stars and killed the Emperor? Jokes on you we've got another the size of a planet and we're stronger than ever.

There are 2 Star Wars movies. The franchise has been creatively bankrupt for longer than most people here have been alive.

Pfffft.

Return of the Jedi definitely has weaker moments (*cough*Endor*cough*), but it also has some of the best scenes in the entire franchise (throne room). The Jabba scenes are relatively middle between those two (and were fine until the special edition ruined them).

It was a fine ending to a great trilogy. If Lucas had been killed by a time traveler with a shovel to the back of the head before the 90s, we'd still consider him a near-perfect genius.

And damn it, if I ever get my hands on that time machine, I will prove it.

Star Wars first three: great. Prequels: OK. The high points of Revenge of the Sith justify the prequels existence, I suppose, but I wouldn't say much more than that. The sequels are just creativity bankrupt cash grabs. Rogue One is fine and all, but it just fills in cracks and isn't as conceptually interesting as the main series.

Two Terminators: absolutely.

Three Indiana Jones. No Crystal Skull.

One Matrix...sure. The second one has it's moments and might fall in the Star Wars prequel "OK enough" category, but the third is a horror. Might as well stick with the original.

AND...after watching Glass Onion last night, I think there is only one Knives Out. I don't understand the good reviews for that one. It kind of felt like the later Ocean's Eleven+ movies to me i.e. focused on cameos and quasi-action rather than focusing on being great in its genre with lots of plot laziness. Bummer.

I went 20 years having only seen the first Matrix movie. I watched the other two last year. I still pretend in my head that I didn't.

Now go watch Thirteenth Floor. That's the movie the original Matrix basically killed by coming out two months earlier.

Then, if you haven't already seen it, go watch Dark City, which came out a year before The Matrix, and which probably influenced it to some degree (up to and including The Matrix reusing some of their sets).

Then you can go (re)watch Inception, since Nolan has said all three of those movies were an influence when he made it.
