I couldn't have imagined that the fourth would be the worst, though. Not only silly and pointless (I don't care if Neo and Trinity are together, I care about the nature of reality and the fate of humanity), but without Yuen Woo Ping, even the action was trash. I can't stand the parade of superhero movies, but I'd be hard put to think of one I wouldn't have preferred to this. I fell asleep an hour in, tried it again the next day and bailed with 15mins left.

This movie wasn't successfully either smart or dumb.

The dominant theory is that Wachowski intentionally sabotaged the film to spite the studio for some reason.




I’m not sure I buy the sabotage claims.

Warner Brothers isn’t going to hand $200 million over to any single person and just be like “well, I guess we get what we get!”.


>I care about the nature of reality and the fate of humanity

i don't think you'll find that in a film


I found it in the first Matrix.

edit: and the third one at least looked like some advanced level of Galaga, and that was pretty alright.
