That seems quite accurate. I rewatched Part 1 & 2 recently. 1 - top notch. I'd say it's the best Sci-Fi/Action movie of all time. Part 2 - the plot was a bit hard hard to follow. But it wasn't bad. And the action scenes were quite good, though I'd say a few of them dragged on a bit too long.

Part 3 is next for me.

Part 4 I tried to watch a couple years ago and couldn't get past like 20 minutes. It seemed like a parody. I doubt I'll try to watch it again.

"After various brawls, our stoic hero comes face to face with the ‘man’ (or, machine program who manifests as a man) who created The Matrix – a beardy bloke with a propensity for preposterous verbosity, whose preternatural pomposity and linguistic virtuosity belies a simple truth vis à vis The One: he’s not the only, er, one."
