Had you read the thread properly you would have realised that the disdain for the Wachowski brothers arises from them claiming to be producing revolutionary effects and thematics, when they aren't doing any such thing.
Matrix was fine the way it was. M:R&R are a pile of cheap mince on a plate, presented as best venison. They have nothing going for them; they are not good films. Special effects do certainly not save a bad film - ever. There's no imagination enema satisfying enough to make plot and originality redundant.
As for the Reloaded fight - I say "bollocks". Peter Jackson had a smaller budget, yet his opening "Final Alliance" scene in Fellowship - filmed almost 2 years before Reloaded - involved tens of thousands of animated characters and every damned one of them looked photorealistic, whereas the Smiths did not. Someone needs to help the W Bros understand that grey palettes do not provide the ideal blocking colour for CGI. You'd think they'd know that, what with being "directors".
You say "thats just ignorance", but I'd ask "how?". I'd also put it to you that the sort of person who thinks M:R&R are original and all new and daring are the sort of people who have seen barely any films in relative terms, and don't read very much - and therefore have no way of gauging just how derivative and unoriginal the latter half of the risably promoted "trilogy" really is.
