IIRC, and I'm pretty sure that I do, The Matrix was released widespread on April 2, 1999. Word on the streets is that the first sequel, "Matrix Reloaded", didn't begin shooting until March of 2001, with a slated release date of May 2003. I seriously doubt they're spending 4 years on a movie - 2 is definitely more likely. So I really don't think that the sequels started filming before the first one was ever released.

As for the other comments, I think that The Matrix was a very ambitious movie and, by and large, hit the mark. The only major complaint, I would say, is the atrocious flying ending. I giggle every time I see that piece of awful cinema. One can only hope they'll eventually edit it out for the Matrix Boxset, much like Depeche Mode got rid of that awful ending to "Enjoy the Silence".
