It was only a matter of time. With each subsequent Matrix sequel released it grew clearer that the story was not ended. There would be more. Possibly to explain what exactly happened in the third movie, and why the second was even ever needed. So, now, here it comes: A fourth matrix film is reported to be in the works with Keanu stating that he would not turn down the opportunity to be Neo again. This may be the answer to the loyal followers of the Fanimatrix who have asked for a long time if there would be a sequel.
Maybe they will just retcon the lot, throw it all down the well as Neo's nightmare, and save the series with a decent ending.

That's two movies, and probably worth watching just for the 90s campiness.
These movies are aging well in comparison with the awful Disney Star Wars films.

It wasn't the quality of the films, the acting was pretty wooden, but could be forgiven.
The problem with Ep1 was it was written around putting a 10 year old kid in the role of Anakin. Then it needed some insane CGI JarJar/Gungans to handle the toilet humour. But, what pisses off fans the most is the virgin birth and the midichlorians. Let's take something that was mysterious and spiritual and try to turn it into something scientific. Like if you inject me with a bunch of midichlorians I can be a superJedi too. Or if I'm born with bugger all midichlorians, then I'm shit out of luck - no amount of dedication and training will help me. People don't like that shit.
Ep2 and 3 were too full of teen angst and pointless violence that went against what we knew of the character(s).

The Last Jedi fan found.
More Mary Sue action.
Leia using the force grip to escape inevitable vacuum of space death.
Pointless visit to Casino Planet.
Kamikaze light speed attack used for the first time in galactic history, but only after half the rebels die.
Luke dying of force constipation.
And that is a short list of the stinker's many, many flaws.

Thank you for pointing out the light speed attack thing, that has been bugging me since I saw it. Why couldn't they have used that to take out the death stars several films ago? Why couldn't they have used it at the beginning of THIS film? Why aren't all SW space battles just engagements between drone lightspeed missiles and corresponding countermeasures?
Also... the whole plot of that film, the entire madcap adventure / "mission" followed by the so-called heroes, achieves ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The Rebellion would have been in much better shape if those dipshits had just followed orders and stayed put. And they don't even get courtmartialled. Utterly pointless.
This was a disappointment because I really enjoyed the Force Awakens (yeah, it borrowed / stole from the original, I don't care) and loved Rogue One. I had high hopes for ep8. The Lando film was meh.

Not the least of which is almost every line in the movie being fodder for video game clips.
But even more important than that was that it wasn't too bad.... once you consider that the entire series with the exceptions of Rogue One and Solo were made for children.
