The Matrix 4

How very childish of her. Ruining the very thing she created to get a pathetic point across whilst wasting my time and money. She could have pre-warned me it was a political pile o **** that I shouldn't bother with.
Would have thought all the film's the wachowski's made after the original matrix would have shown you it wouldn't have been very good?
Wife and I just watched this, we were both confused as hell for the first 30 minutes, she was confused for most of it. Like Spiderman I've avoided everything written about it and it didnt match my expectations.
The fight scenes were just meh, I think with the ones in the Matrix being so ground breaking they had to do something special to pull it all off. For some reason the coffee shop especially at night reminded me of the bar in Spiderman 3 where he does the dance of thing.
They even take the mick out of "bullet-time" at one point did it really need go to there ?
Some nice ideas but for me it was just not very good. Will need another watch at sometime and will get it on UHD disc to add to my collection.

It almost seems like a meme of our current world. Neo is sick and tired of the whole woke world we live in now and is the old guard of how it used to be.
Also has already been mentioned. The originals were so ground breaking in what they did whilst the effects are decent in this it hasn't taken it to the next level which almost makes it feel like it has gone backwards.

Along side the rest of the "it's an homage" type stuff, did anyone else feel like the female vocal cover of Rage Against The Machines "Wake Up" just summed up the failures of the film perfectly - A poor copy which was far worse than the Original was.
EDIT - It was by Brass Against, whose female vocalist was arrested for peeing on the face of a fan at a gig
It was put in there to be simply woke because it was a woman singing a male song. I love covers of male songs by females but you just know when something has been done as a tick box. Just like the ending was.
I mean Ellen Ripley was a female lead who wasn't forced and was fantastic for it. Now it is just a whole tick box for the sake of it.
He was always clean shaven for most movies. The shortest I remember his hair was Speed.
The live version of "Wake Up" when done by Brass Against is actually pretty good TBH (as a RATM fan myself), the female vocalist really captures that raw/angry tone which is a RATM speciality. It's just that the "studio" version they used for the end of the film is just so weak in comparison, even to their own Live performance, never mind against RATM themselves.
However whether picking them was done specifically to be "woke" (as a female vocal cover of a male vocal song) or it was just because Brass Against are currently "fashionable" to listen to in the younger/progressive demographic, I don't know but I just find it odd to have picked the "weaker" version (Studio instead of the better Live one).
Fair point. Hope springs eternal.
Shame, isn't great is it
I rewatched the first part - Matrix loop, but when we open on Neo coding the Binary game - the wheels very quickly come off.
Imaging if they got rid of that crap and continued with Matrix loops, Io, bringing back Hugo W, getting rid of that awful ending - it would have been pretty great. I can see Neo been captured by the machines and it has taken this long for him to be broke free - but no, they went with the shi!t show we got
I wouldn't even recommend even if you have a streaming service.
Tbh thats been my advice to fans of the trilogy. If you dont wanna ruin the franchise, dont watch this.
as soon as they stopped being bros and became sisters they went downhill.
sense8 was good though imo, but IDK if I ever bothered to watch the finale

Pretty much this. Matrix is one of those films that should have been a single film. The ending was perfect.
It has pretty much now become like the Terminator/Aliens franchise which is just constantly rehashed and rebooted.
