Matrix gets a 9/10 from me.
Matrix Reloaded a 7.5.
Matrix Revolutions a 6.
And this gets just a 5.
There is no emotion, no original action, no special visual effects like they had in 1999 (and technology has moved on in 20 years, or has it?), the script is terrible, it keeps harking back to the original film in order to give us a sense of nostalgia and depth and emotion but it fails to give us any of these things. And Keanu Reeves really looks bored and tired in this. It only makes me realise more and more what I already knew. Wachowski was a one hit wonder with one great movie for the ages. Everything else they have made has been either average or poor. Maybe one day, they will recapture some of the magic they found in the original Matrix and give future cinema audiences something to marvel at but I wouldn't hold your breath!
