I LOVED(!!!!!) the original Matrix film. It was intelligent, beautifully filmed, and the action sequences were ahead of their time. The sequels weren't nearly as good but its hard to catch lightning in a bottle three times in a row.
This "film" looks more like someone used their iPhone 13, pulled a TikTok with Keanu and Carrie, and literally recast and reshot the original film with the dumbest plots possible. They (I kid you not) had scenes of the first Matrix movie PROJECTED onto bedsheets(?!?!?) when they met Neo like it was some weekend garage band party. I did that stuff at my kids' birthday parties in the late-'90s. This is supposed to be centuries in the future???
Like Keanu for much of this film, I was so seriously confused halfway through who was whom (Morpheus wasn't Fishburne, Weaving wasn't Smith but his NAME had a new UNintimidating fratboy in jeans and t-shirt playing the iconic role, the Oracle ain't around no more, the machines are our FRIENDS???, they don't need phones anymore to transport because there are mirrors everywhere (OMG...), Neo's buddies kickbox sentients scene after bloodless scene but nobody dies -- or is even bruised, but, OH WAIT! Neo ain't all-powerful no more either so they're all dead anyway... who wrote this garbage??...). The whole thing just felt like they took all the good from the FIRST film, put it into a blender, and threw it on screen since the audience wasn't gonna catch up anyway because it's "art".
B***. S***. I can cut off my ear too but it don't make me Picasso.
And just because a bunch of fanboys and fangirls that are trying to sell tickets "get it" doesn't mean it's any good. Anyone can find something redeemable in a steaming pile of crap if you dig hard enough.
And I gotta say... If you're gonna replace an all-time villian like Hugo Weaving with Doogie Howser M. D... Hollywood needs new casting directors -- and writers/directors.
This was all kinds of bad. I'm not faulting Keanu and Carrie. They acted what they were given on the script. This is the studio and the "filmmakers" monstrosity thrown together as a desperate cash grab to squeeze more money out of the sheeple they despise so distinctly in the film.
Thanks, Wachowskis. You ruined the franchise. Now retire to your palaces built on sham profits and leave filmmaking to people who actually want to make coherent and entertaining films.
The Matrix is truly... dead.
