Just seen The Matrix Resurrections and I can't believe I'm going to say this but it somehow manages to be the worst entry of them all. While some fights were entertaining and scenes heartfelt it ultimately felt all a little unnecessary.
Spoiler!
Pointless, soulless and a retread with a lot of scenes literally pasted into the movie throughout. The new cycle was expected though tbh the set and pieces felt cheap in comparison the old movies and felt a bit like watching a parody show. The plot a thin yet moved at a rushed pace where nothing really made sense or time to sink in what happened during the time between the two movies. Then that ending as well *barf*. I'm sorry Wachowski, this movie was a drag.
If there's a thing that Hollywood should not do is try resurrect old movies, with sequels or remakes so many years later. We had the terrible Bill and Ted Sequel and so forth its just a complete waste of time and money. 6/10 maybe even a 5. The original trilogy was fine on its own.
