...I enjoyed on first viewing then less so when I thought about it afterwards. Maybe I'm a minority in this but I really liked the meta-fictional elements that poke fun at the idea of making a fourth Matrix movie (since it does fit in the theme of not fully comprehending what is real and what isn't) and I thought the movie as a whole was more light-hearted than previous installments. But a lot of the underlying message felt hokey on reflection, even if it was still glazed over with a thick dose of philosophical rumination on the nature of reality. The core tenets it's built on didn't feel as genuinely thought-provoking as what the original trilogy went for. Still I liked it better than Revolutions (and maybe even Reloaded). --- Sometimes it's necessary to make people miserable, even if that means making yourself miserable in the process. ...

Ozmose posted... It was pretty bad. Dime store Morpheus and Smith pretty much ruined it for me. Not to mention the whole, lets be fair here, other than Neo being the one in the first movie, nothing at all makes sense in any of the Matrix movies if there was any problem at all with this new one, its that the Wachowskis didnt try to make a stand alone story. They should have tried to ignore Matrix 2 and 3, but instead they made a full sequel to it, as if anyone even cares or remembered how Matrix 3 ended --- Big yellow joint big yellow joint I'll meet you down at the big yellow joint ...

Solid Sonic posted... ...I enjoyed on first viewing then less so when I thought about it afterwards. That's how I feel about most movies that think they're clever. As soon as you start to pick at the threads, they usually unravel pretty quickly. I find it way rarer to find a movie that is good at first and then gets better upon reflection than it is to find movies that seem okay on first watch and then become more stupid the longer you think about them. It's part of why there's such a focus on "turn your brain off" throwaway movies these days, and why Internet critics (RedLetterMedia, Screen Rant, CinemaSins, etc) can make video after video picking apart every stupid thing in any given movie until you wind up kind of hating something you originally liked. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

Chigurh kinda came off as a self-righteous incel who went of the deep end and got really good at killing anyone who dare disrespected his godlike aura. After letting it marinate a bit the movie feels perfect. It gave me a newfound appreciation for cinema --- I am evil https://i.imgur.com/kNEhaIe.mp4 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I was most surprised by how bad Keanu's acting was. He's never been great, but he seemed sedated the entire time (and that's only excusable up until he takes the red pill again). Has he gotten too used to playing edgelords like Johnny Silverhand and John Wick? Or was he just really reluctant to return to this franchise --- I am evil https://i.imgur.com/kNEhaIe.mp4 ...

I'm still just trying to figure out why they had the toilet scene in there. Was it just a self-review? --- Tacobot 3000 "Saving the world from not having tacos." Friends don't make their friends die Hanz. Psychopathic friends do. ... Copied to Clipboard!
