I think I actually prefer Reloaded to the original tbh. The meta-stuff I think is really strong here and the idea of ideological control provides a very Metal Gear Solid 2-esque recontextualization of the already strong original Matrix. For Revolutions, I like the Neo vs. Smith fight a lot but as a...
