probably cut a bit of post and put in main thread too

Damn the regular thread is filled with nothing but arguing but no one is in this thread actually discussing why they did or didn't like the movie

Guess enough ppl ain't seen it yet though it did just drop

WE GOT A SPOILER THREAD PEOPLE

Eh movie I just felt like the whole meta stuff came off more pretentious like Lana is better than doing this. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be but yeah not as good as the original trilogy. I would of liked to see Naomi interact with Morpheus, but it just felt like Lana didn’t want her to a have a straight moment now that she’s with a woman. The whole power of love explanation is cringy

Was pretty mid. The cover song at the end.

Cover song was dope I thought

the first half was bad but tolerable
the third quarter was trash
but that final act was absolutely criminal. The Matrix 1 will forevr be monumental but the franchsie is done. Christ, that was horrendous.

saw it and loved it, but did think the third act dragged a little. didn’t really understand the mehrovingian’s involvelment. but those were my only major complaints. i liked the interstitial footage way more than i thought i did. i think my only complaint is that the themes of this one aren’t as clear as the other ones? maybe ill have to rewatch it or let my thoughts crystallize a little more. tho i do enjoy the idea of rebellion being a constant choice that you have to keep reifying as you get older. tbh i didn’t love the inclusion of morpheus, i wish he had more to do or played a bigger role in the story. idk what are y’all’s thoughts ?

What's the problem. It's called having a different opinion lol

Damn.. I hated this. I’m actually disappointed 😂😂😂

Just finished it. These are my thoughts:

So the dialogue actually wasnt as bad as I expected. The very beginning I went from ah s*** this about to be a s*** show to alright alright this not bad at all.

Beginning and the world building was surprisingly good and I loved how tripped out and confused I was at first. Matrix og vibes in the start. The meta part deserves a thread on ktt on its own.

Dont like this agent smith. He was like an actor you would see on the OC or one tree hill. Agent smith such an iconic villain and they missed the mark completely with casting this guy.

Did not like NPH in this. All his scenes felt mad corny. Couldnt take him seriously. I like him in funny s*** but he has that kevin hart kind of acting where I can never take him seriously.

Neo did not seem powerful. This was a beta meta Neo.

The villains in this are horrendous. I never felt like they were truly in danger. Gave me DC on Cw villain vibes.

Action scenes werent that bad, but lacked a certain flair the trilogy had.

Blue hair girl was my fave character shes dope af. Cant remember her name. Really liked her overall. Kind of wish she had a better backstory though. They couldve given her her own spinoff anime or something.

Didnt like the resurrection explanation at all. Felt super forced

Trinity parts were corn.

It was just okay to me. A little better than I had expected, but was very mid..the weakest of the matrix films by far. I didnt need this film, but it was alright man. The nostalgia dopamine hits. Def made me want to go back to watch the ogs again.

Felt like the magic was just missing though. There werent any wow moments like the classic car chase or bullet time dodge in the first one with the crazy camera pan or Neo flying for the first time.

Overall it felt like a made for tv version of the matrix with the humour and more commercialized aesthetic, but some of the deeper tones and meta plot points I feel are connected to Lanas personal life and the history of the matrix movies, were pretty cool and interesting, especially in the first half of the film. Second half def wasnt good.

This movie is kind of like a love letter to the matrix fandom and I can see the connection to Lana and all that.

I can admit it wasnt as bad as I expected, but it also was not Matrix level in my opinion.

I was going to give this a 6/10 halfway through, but then the rushed, weirdly paced, and pretty much unenjoyable 3 act brought it back down for me.

I’ll give this a mix of my initial feelings to the trailers and the ign 4/10

And my 1st half rating of 6/10

Its a 5/10 for me guys.

I didnt hate it, but I will never watch this again.

My biggest gripes were essentially the dialogue and the meta stuff was ok but I hate when movies try to rehash the first films the themes kinda felt lost maybe I’ll give it another chance but I think this was my least favorite it felt more Hollywood too

Loved the new addition of the cast btw Bugz !!!!! Let’s go

Bugs was sooo sick

This was terribly directed, terribly written, terribly cast.

Buggs and the new Morpheus were cool.

The new agent Smith was awful but it wasn't the actors fault, he's great but the dialogue was such f***ing trash.

No new good music.

Have I said it was terribly written because s***, this was awful.

no offence to those that paid to see this but i couldn't pay to see this. not because it was bad but it just wasn't entertaining

Was it really that bad tho? @coolrebelife_com

Man tough to see yall not feeling it hope it was enjoyable at least

Not terrible, but not good. Mid as mid gets.

Felt like CW version of Matrix.

Thats what I said months ago when I saw the trailer ane th3 casting list

Did you enjoy it at least?
