Watched the entire Harry Potter series very recently with my kids. They all hold up for the most part. The Matrix doesn't age the way it's sequels do/did. It's a classic action film, to me. Lord of the Rings has aged very well overall too. Can't speak to the rest as I don't care for them and haven't watched in a long time.
This is like saying the film "Starship Troopers" is a movie endorsing fascism
This isn't even remotely true. The worst it got was, what, Iron Man 2 and Age of Ultron and even in those, AOU in particular, it was a few short scenes that hampered the pacing a little, it wasn't half a movie even if exaggerated. Most movies have very little in the way of hyping up the MCU, outside of some brief visual easter eggs and after credits scenes. They are sequels at this point so stuff that has happened before affects the latter movies but the stories build on those past events to tell new stories that work perfectly well as self-contained sequels and aren't just made as segways to future movies.
I mean, it's been a while since I watched Pirates 2 and 3, and they're not great movies, but I'm pretty sure the CG in them still looks phenomenal.
even with those it remains relevant. The computers simulated what they felt was the height of our innovation. and even now many claim/insist that our innovative period in modern society peaked early-to-mid-00s and have just iterated since then.. So its not outside the realm of reason that computers, to breed us like cattle, would still simulate the late-90s to early-00s.
