Seriously?

I was hopeful because they had so many directions to take it. I may be uncultured when it comes to stories and what not, but The Matrix was such a great flick for me when it came out. It was easy to keep my expectations low for the 4th installment because of the 2nd and 3rd movies.

Haven't seen it yet and probably won't at this point. That said, given the Wachowski track record I did not have high expectations.

I did, however, hold out some hope that maybe lighting would strike twice and this might have been the film to redeem the franchise. Sadly, it looks like that is not to be.
Grasshopper:
I must be one of the few people on the planet who actually enjoyed the second film. That's mainly because it hinted at the intriguing possibility of there being a Matrix within a Matrix. So effectively no one actually escapes the Matrix.

Unfortunately, they quietly dropped that idea in part three, and reverted back to an incoherent Michael-Bay-style robots vs humans plot.
Grasshopper:
With regards to part 4, I haven't seen it yet, and frankly the trailer doesn't inspire confidence.

We live in an era in which trailers tend to be better than the films they're supposed to be promoting, and they also usually contain major plot spoilers. But the only good thing about the Matrix 4 trailer was the Jefferson Airplane song (which they probably should have used in the original films). The rest of it just felt like a cash-grabbing retread.

I still haven't gone back to watch the second half.
