The Matrix sequels. All of them.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

they are fine. except the 4th. that should have been never existed.

I know lots of people hate the sequels, but they add to the story, it's another question they are... just action movies with a little bit of early 2000s cringe.

Well, the 4th was a sequel to deliberately end all future sequels.

I understand that, but this reasoning as well don't really help on it at all. ruining something nice because "fuck you all" is just... I don't even know.

edit: I think Matrix could have been a great series, even with something main plot that the 4th one had. or a cartoon. I know lot of frenchise went downhill after taking this path, but it's something that would have fit nicely with Matrix.

I honestly appreciated some of the tongue in cheek self awareness of the 4th movie, but it was overall just another long series of action sequences. The first movie was a movie with mystery and a story to it beyond contrived excuses to use bullet time. The sequels are very low on substance. Not a big fan.

I agree ๐Ÿ’ฏ Could not stand finish watching second movie and I can only imagine how bad were the other sequels. The original Matrix was pretty cool though
