Far too colourful and stylised for my liking.

If you can't switch that feeling off and just have fun with the colors and the style, then it's best you don't watch this...

Yeah, it's pretty fundamental! Shame it's doing so badly, though I hope it serves as a slap in the face to The Wachowski's. Hopefully the Matrix bubble has finally burst and they'll go off and produce some smaller, more powerful films. As did Joel Schumacher post Batman and Robin; take their toys and computers away and they might come up with something like Tigerland.

I don't think that the Wachowski's are nearly talented enough to make a character driven film.
The stars were in alignment for the Matrix, but Revolutions and Reloaded showed how much of a fluke they had.  I do not dispute that there are some really well choreographed and inventive scenes and the technology they used was inventive and helped to create a spectacle.  But these bits do not make the two sequels good films.

I still credit them for "Bound" though. Shows a little bit what they might be able to do when the money is taken away.

Bound is good. It's a good story, even if it's somewhat simple. And I think it really shines in the visual department. There's some really interesting artistic choices made that shows how much the lack of money actually improves creativity.

Well, with director's that can handle it anyway. I'm not so sure about some of the more prominent SFX-prone directors out there and their ability to improvise, if you remove their toys and bottomless pits of money.
