Seriously, it’s hot garbage. It doesn’t do anything for the franchise other than pandering to original movie, and being a satire of itself. So many eye-rolling moments that I was giving myself motion sickness. The fight scenes lacked the cool and clever factor of the original films, maybe because they didn’t have Yuen Woo-ping doing fight choreography. The casting felt all wrong, characters that were supposed to be serious came off comical and insincere. Takes you out of the movie many times throughout. Same with the making fun of itself moments. The ending was left open for perhaps another movie, but the problem is they are dealing with actors in their 50’s now. Keanu is 57 and Carrie-Anne is 54. The additional younger actors weren’t playing characters that could carry on the franchise and be interesting. At least in the MCU Marvel is future proofing their franchises by passing the torch to the newer actors. I highly doubt the Matrix films can hold up Neo and Trinity in their 60’s. All said, this movie was a let down. It’s filled with many “hey remember when we were cool?” moments and subtle hints of discontent towards the publishing studio that it wastes its opportunity to actually resurrect the franchise. |

First Matrix was already boring by the oracle scene. Second Matrix was 10 minutes of pointless fighting and then Neo flies away. Over and over. Third was people shooting machine guns and yelling for the last hour. I did like their movie Cloud Atlas which everyone else seems to have hated. :dunno |
