My expectations were impossibly low and they still managed to disappoint me.

FYI, called it weeks ago exactly how this was going to play out. We’ll have people blaming “SJW” narrative or “Identity Politics” and just ignoring that the film lacked any semblance of merit throughout. It was a bad movie through and through and ending with Trinity as the One or any of the other “SJW” content people are crying about had little to nothing to do with the rest of the film being trash.

I’m happy for the people that can find enjoyment in these things, but holy fuck I wish they’d leave franchises like this alone. Honestly, it should have ended after the first fucking movie. I’m cool with Animatrix, but everything else was trash.


Really kind of interested in why you think that it is so bad. Seems on par with 2+3, but your reaction makes me think you find it worse.

Honestly I'd rather rewatch 4 over 2 or 3.

Yeah I don’t think it was that bad either. It’s nothing great but it’s a watchable film.

I’d put them about equal, but I’ll admit that I’m much more critical these days, so it’s possible 4 was superior and I’m not remembering everything about them accurately.

But far as my complaints for this film

The acting was bad throughout, from pretty much everyone.
The story was a muddled mess with pointless or obvious plot devices throughout that came across as fucking lazy. Like Niobi being opposed to the literal second coming of God and trying to lock him in a cell to create some type of conflict, that’s just instantly ignored and tossed to the wayside.
The scene with the Merovingian was holy fucking cringe.
And why the fuck would they bring back Smith? I understand the reasoning (as half assed as it was) for Neo/Trinity, but it’s utter nonsense that they’d also put the greatest threat to their existence into the same damn simulation with the dude who made him a threat to begin with.

And none of that even comes close to how lazy and boring the ending of “Oh, Trinity is just as powerful as Neo too”, which to be fair, was super fucking obvious from the trailers.

Movie should have never been made, just like 2/3.

I feel like with most movies you can't really waste 10 bucks on one. You know what I mean? Even if it's not great I feel like it's worth it's value and the experience. Unless you have an absolute stellar home theater, but even then I doubt it beats the cinemas.

I don’t think a movie theater makes a bad movie worth the money.

My tv and sound bar have worked great for years. Everything about the theater experience is such a hassle. I’ll be comfy at home

I'm going to have to disagree. A lot of movies I enjoy seeing at the movie theater where if I watched it at home I wouldn't have it enjoyed it nearly as much. Probably relates more to the action/CGI type movies.
Maybe I'm in the minority
