Hope I didn't give too much away, should you still want to watch it at some point..
Since I do plan on watching the sequels someday, I mostly skimmed over your post, Rijst.
I saw the first Matrix movie when it first came out and I thought it was great. But I hated the impact it had on the film industry. Action films were never the same post-Matrix and that bummed me out. Plus, I was annoyed by how ubiquitous
The Matrix quickly became. Everywhere you looked, black trench coats, wraparound sunglasses, and people with that, uh, "raining binary" screensaver. By the time the sequels came out, I was sick of the whole Matrix thing.
Also, Neo seemed like an invincible god at the end of the original, so there didn't seem to be much of a point in making sequels. It seemed like they'd be as dull as trying to beat a game with an invincibility code on.
