These Are the Most Overrated Movies of All Time

The Matrix Franchise

Basically, The Matrix series is a visual experience with virtually no substance for the characters, but a rich world that they live in. This translates into a lot of "ooooohh ahhhh" moments, but absolutely zero "I understand this movie" moments. Everyone loves The Matrix, but people think way too deep into it. These movies are overrated because they put more effort into enamoring the viewer than educating them.
