Why reboot the Matrix series? I dunno, because the sequels sucked?

I’m going to commit heresy, here: I liked the Matrix – the first one.  The sequels entered into the Land of Suckage shortly thereafter, because they were stuck trying to get around Neo’s apotheosis at the end of the first movie.  Becoming a god is interesting to watch; being a god can get old, fast. Real heresy: they should have made the first movie into a two-parter: the first part would be Neo learning that his world is a lie, and the second be Neo gaining levels in badass.  Then have Neo deal with the super-computer or whatever in the last film.

Now, if they do that in this Matrix reboot – which will not involve the Wachowskis, which doesn’t actually bother me: they’re the reason why the series ended in such a mess – that would be worth watching.  Particularly if they got rid of that stupid body heat explanation.  Cows!  The Matrix would use cows for body heat!  They’re larger and can’t rebel against the system.

…Sorry about that.  Some wounds never fully heal.
