Toss up between Matrix Trilogy and Pirates of the Carribean - I went with The Matrix as I only really enjoyed the 2nd one, 3rd was garbage and 1st was average. Haven't seen the final pirates film as the 2nd one was so crap, so couldn't pass fair judgement on it yet.

I vote Star Wars conditionally; I am referring to the episode 1,2,3 trilogy that were complete garbage. While I'm not a big fan, I can safely say that despite Luke Skywalker being totally irritating in episodes 4,5,6, he was at least better than most of prequels.

The Matrix for sure. It seemed like since everyone was talking about the effects of the first one, they figured they could just crap out 2 more with the same sort of junk. Absolutely horrible.

I agree that the sequels were a let down.

I remember watching a lot of the promotional material for Reloaded and Revolutions and they were like "People are going to love this. The amount of explosions and special effects we've put into these will blow you away."

Listen Hollywood, the majority of us don't care about explosions and special effects. What we liked about the original Matrix film was the superbly crafted plot, the underlying subtext, the stunning cinematography, the character development, and yes - I also loved the kung fu and special effects, but only because they complimented the story like a seasoning to a good meal. The second and third films are just gravy and for this reason FAIL.

When will Hollywood stop destroying good films? It seems all they're interested in are the box office sales.

< Off topic, has anyone noticed that this avatar of me is supposed to be Agent Jones on the rooftop scene?

When will Hollywood stop destroying good films?
When people stop synoymising "Hollywood" and "movie industry" :p
It seems all they're interested in are the box office sales.
Duh, it's hollywood, it's never been any different.

You have to look elsewhere for good films anymore.

I really like the Matrix trilogy, especially the sequels. My vote goes for X-men, but I've never really been a fan of X-men in general.

LtDavidW, you're quite wrong. The majority of people do like movies for explosions and effects. Thats why movies with them in it always seem to bring in a hell of a lot of money. It may be unfortunate that it's that way, but that's how it is.

Yeah I liked all of the Matrix movies. Spiderman and Xmen were just complete crap. Well mostly the third movies in each trilogy, and I just have a dislike for the way the movies were made as well as the comics/series themselves.

i have to say...martrx.

im not saying it was a bad movie...but they ruined it with the trilogy.

the first movie had so much potential, and i thought(think) it was such a good movie, then the second came out, and it was long and boring...didnt really add much, but the ending was decent and made me look forward to the 3rd. then the 3rd came and it was so ....... stupid.

they could of made it awesome, they ruined it.

matrix, the worst? wtf, lol.

Well, yeah. Have you seen the Matrix Revolutions? Nothing in that movie is good, whatsoever.

The one before it had some merits but it was still pretty poor.

I don't think Matrix was the worst at all! Possibly the bigger let down because the first was so damned good. Many of those on that list were just never that great to begin with. Personally I enjoyed the second and third films because I wasn't daft enough to fall for all the hype, I just didn't like the lame ending (why didn't the whole of humanity gang up against the machines or something spectacular?).

I voted for Spiderman as the worst trilogy. The last one was sickening, I wanted to punch the main character and that disgusting "smile".

Lord of the Rings is clearly the best, if you like that sort of thing.

Have you seen the Matrix Revolutions? Nothing in that movie is good, whatsoever.

I beg to differ that it's all bad.

While 75% garbage, the last quarter of the movie - the final fight in the rain and superpunch in particular, is awesome.

Some of the music is great also - have a listen to "Don Davis - Navras".

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account by Usama Jawad As things currently stand, Microsoft Edge only allows you to sign in to the browser with a Microsoft Account (MSA). This allows you to sync your browser settings and other data across other devices, as long as you sign in with the same account. However, Microsoft is now modifying this mechanism in a way that will likely please many users. In an update to its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has indicated that it will soon let users sign into Edge using a Google account from the profile menu and the Edge sign-in screen. This will be in addition to the MSA login option, and it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account. This brings several advantages such as the ability to sync your data across devices using just a Google account. It may even facilitate flexible single sign-on (SSO) experiences where you can quickly login to websites and services through a single Google account that is presented as the preferred sign-in option. Up until now, Microsoft allowed customers to indirectly use a Google account, by configuring a Google account as a Microsoft account, or by setting up a one-way sync option between Edge and Chrome. This is a rather interesting development, especially considering that Google Chrome still limits you to a Google account sign-in, but it will be interesting to see if the company reciprocates Microsoft's gesture in the future. This is not the only recent instance in which Microsoft has extended a handshake to Google via Edge. In April 2026, it began tracking the development of a work search banner for Google Search queries, just like the one present in Edge. However, if we go back almost seven years, to January 2020, Microsoft had emphasized that it had no plans to "integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default", in response to people requesting Google sign-in services on Edge. Fast-forward to today, and Microsoft is planning to release this feature in July 2026, with IT admins having the option to control its availability on Windows and macOS through the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.
    • If they ever come out and say the AI is no longer accessible to the gen pop people aren't going to know how to tie their own shoelaces.
    • It's hard not to when they are shoehorning Ai into EVERYTHING. Some are active users by choice, I bet a lot of them are because it's shoved in their face the entire time.
