Even if most of the many people who didn't like a film didn't "get it," the film is still a failure because it failed to communicate whatever "it" is to the audience. (Not speaking of just a Matrix movie here, but films in general.) Blaming the stupidity of the masses may be somewhat passable with some obscure indie release, but not a highly-publicized major Hollywood blockbuster.
And no additional points to the Matrix for being "complex and ambitious!" If that was the case, you'd have to love Ed Wood's films, too! Or any of the other crappy directors long on intentions but short on talent.
Not that I'm comparing the products of the brothers Wachowski to Ed Wood's body of work. It wasn't THAT bad.
There's one to put on the DVD case:
"Didn't suck as bad as 'Bride Of The Monster'" -- Matt Gordon, HTF
