No spoilers for Resurrections please, I’ve only watched the first 3 movies in the last couple of days. Yes, I know that I’m 20 years late to the party.

I think the first movie is great, I hated the long action scenes in the second (Neo vs the Smith army got boring after a couple of minutes, and added no value), and mostly enjoyed the third, even though it didn’t really feel like a Matrix movie.

I’ve read that the fourth is terrible. Is that because it ruined people’s nostalgia, or is it really that bad? I’m probably going to watch it either way, just like to hear your opinions.

    I actually thought the newest matrix was a pretty fun romp. Not the best of the series - but others who shit on it like they do are being too harsh (in my opinion, art being subjective and all). I actually thought the way they came back to the matrix was pretty fun.

    To be fair to the other fans who hated this one, I wasn’t super invested in the older movies so some of the other complaints never bothered me too much.

    I thought it was a hilarious, satirical “screw you” to the studio for forcing them to make another sequel (and a commentary on the general theme of milking old franchises past their prime), and it I loved it for making fun of itself. I laughed through the whole thing.

    If you didn’t wait as long as everyone else to see it it’s not going to hit the same. The movie is a parody on its own creation and specifically talks shit about the very people who demanded it be made.

    I think Matrix Resurrections is a parody. It’s a funny movie, has a good dose of action. Of course, don’t expect a movie like the first one but you can have a fun time watching it

    To me it was bad and I wanted so much to like it. I can’t get into why without spoilers, but it just had poor writing and fell short imo. I even liked the entire original trilogy more than others tended to past the first one. It was kind of like bad fanfiction but the boring kind of bad not the hilarious kind.
