Board 8 > Was the matrix resurrections the worst matrix movie you've ever seen?

(+) Yeah! (+)

RLM is terrible

Its far better than Revolutions. The meta-stuff in the first half is great, I was loving it and thinking it could even be up there with 1, but then it falls into a much less interesting groove before redeeming itself with a good ending.

RLM is terrible

i really liked red letter media at first. after it ran out of star wars prequel movies to dunk on, i realized its niche wasn't giving accurate reviews. its niche was making everything look terrible and laughing at it as hard as possible.

kind of like how "zero punctuation" wasn't about accurate reviews, it was about coming up with the most creative and entertaining metaphors for "thing is bad"

i still think RLM is good entertainment, i just wouldn't trust their reviews to be accurate. in their defense, a lot of stuff is bad- a broken clock is right 70% of the time, or whatever. in the end, they're putting on a show and making money

Reloaded is great, by the way.

Reloaded is great dance scene aside.

2 >= 1

there's plenty of shit wrong with that movie beside the dance scene.

the burly brawl already didn't look that great at the time but jesus christ, did the CGI in that scene not age well.

Holy

Shit

Like, I count myself as a defender of Reloaded too

but no

just no.

With RLM I get the sense the main guy only sounds insightful/knowledgeable as long as he's going after low-hanging fruit. I used to enjoy the Plinkett reviews back in the day but on revisiting them I found them needlessly nitpicky, like in one of the Star Trek movies he spends five minutes harping on Picard mishandling a prop because it contradicts the precedent set in Season 5 Episode 13 or w/e for how that prop was handled, and just stuff where you'd have to be scanning for things to complain about. And it only tracks because the movies are already easy targets

Get in line heard this plenty.

For what it's worth I think this is less me being super high on Reloaded and more me being not as high on whatever the Matrix is supposed to be doing.

To me at its core The Matrix series is basically just a string of philosophical babble into fight scenes repeated ad nauseam in a really cool world setting. People say the first one is like really deep and stuff but I never really saw that.

Matrix is a bit more compelling in setting it up early but Reloaded adds to the lore in an interesting enough way and has much better fight scenes and babble.

Revolutions makes the world setting boring with all the mecha suit fighting and no Matrix and has worse babble and fight scenes by far.

Resurrections kinda recaptures the intrigue of the first early but doesn't pay it off very well and has pretty lame fight scenes.

I liked 1 the best for a long time but then I looked up all the cool scenes and music and realized they were all actually from 2

I got you. I too liked the expanded lore in Reloaded. Many will say The Matrix shouldn't have had sequels, but the way that movie ended left you with a "now what?" feeling. I really needed more than "we're all inside a matrix". Now add the killer action and you've got my favorite Matrix movie. Resurrections is pretty bad though, it does have intrigue at first but the good just doesn't outweigh the bad.
