Yeah it just wasn't right. Somehow with how much it leaned on the original movies with fanservice (if you'd call it that) it didn't feel like a matrix movie at all. It felt like a generic mid-budget action movie. There were some decent ideas that could have worked in a matrix movie, but this wasn't a matrix movie to me. They didnt even get a bad ass action scene right. I didn't completely hate it but nothing felt right, like bad fanfiction written by someone who didn't understand what made the movies great, and considering its one of the original directors it's very puzzling. People who haven't seen the first 3 will also be completely screwed watching this. There is no exposition for them lol. |
True
and too many references to to them. Adding to that the action and scenes was nowhere near scale and spectacle of previous movies. If this was a series I'd probably let it pass. But as a direct sequel to some of my top movies of all time (1st film) and the latter ones. Its disappointing to say the least.
Idd are some good ideas in the movie and scenes but unfortunately there are few and far in between.
Idk, Resurrections felt bit like cash grab and told a story really didn't need to be told. Frankly I'd rather they reboot it fully with new characters or do a spin off movie rather than tarnish a brand like this. But yeah I'm just gonna let the first three be canon for me.
And true lol, absolutely not a film for people new to the franchise. I'm still trying to get my head around the story xD
