Hot take that might get some shit, but I’ll say it anyway:
The Matrix.
The first movie, if it was the only one, was such a sleek tight narrative with such a satisfying ending that left so much open to the imagination that arguably the movie would have more cultural impact today if it stopped there.

The Matrix Reloaded was full of action scenes that still haven’t been matched, and I liked the story, even if it was a bit bonkers at times.
The Matrix Revolutions was… disappointing. Big battle scenes had already been overdone at that point, the story was just getting stretched too thin, and dialogue was laughable at critical moments.

Reloaded had some great setpieces, and maybe “worst” didn’t really apply to the sequels as the thread requested, but I still feel the original could have stood on its own, maybe timelessly.
