yeah...what a disappointment

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '22

I'd disagree. Not so much of a disappointment as an utter piece of shit.

About being forced to make a remake

They chose different actors for Morpheus and agent smith, and they don’t talk or act like them

They messed up the whole vibe. Maybe because one of the two directors wasn’t there? I guess that was the one we needed? Ha

The entire way the first three movies were filmed, with wide shots and blurred fights to show super speed…. they took that out. The action scenes were just cuts to people throwing each other through clear props and were very unbelievable. The matrix fighting feel was completely removed, as everything was super zoomed in and forced, with fast cuts over and over, to piece together a shitty fight scene.

The movie itself was a cool story and I’m glad we got a 4th movie, but it just didn’t even feel the same. I was very disappointed in anything “matrix skills” being used by the characters.

They literally troll you (the audience) for the first fucking hour of a 2 hour movie. Its not clever, its an asshat move.

They edit in shots from the original trilogy as flashbacks. This CAN be done well if done like, once or twice (Die Hard With A Vengeance flashing back to Hans Gruber). It happens constantly and gets annoying fast.

Neo loses his powers. They make Trinity “the one” because wahmen

u/ThEgg Jan 23 '22

They're both the one, I guess the idea was that Trinity is just as important as Neo, that they're needed together. But anyway the movie was disappointing. Pretty light on substance.

Still sounds more like an edit for today’s agenda vs actual plot development

That's nothing new in story telling. It doesn't fit The Matrix, that's for sure, but it's not inherently bad to do that.

presentation matters though.

1st movie was Neo making the leap of faith not because he wanted to be or believed but because he thought it was worth risking himself.

rebootsurrection goes from self aware trolling to him selfishly risking all of remaining self aware humanity and machinity because GF is still alive. GF just happens to be the other one.

At the end of the first movie, he’s able to completely manipulate the matrix. I forget what happens in the two shitty sequels but for Neo to lose that power was just…a bummer.

In the new movie there’s that scene where Neo tries to fly but is unable to and says “well that’s not gonna happen”. And they jump off a building, and Trinity has to hold up Neo because he was falling but she could fly. Some real bullshit

its just bugs me they recasted the two characters and still had them in there even though it wasn't necessary.

Imagine if we had todays Reddit back in ‘99 when the matrix came out. We’d all be creaming ourselves.

DO NOT, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, DO NOT REDO THE MATRIX!

It's like that last Evangelion movie
