They're fine together. That doesn't mean they have Kate/Leo or Bogie/Baccall chemistry. They work off each other better in New Matrix, for what it's worth, because (in my opinion) now they have the weight of their intertwined careers to work with, and the audience has nostalgia to work with. But that doesn't mean this sudden Epic Love Story Across Time and Space angle feels a little out of the blue. Imagine if Lord of the Rings 4 were about Aragorn and Arwen somehow reuniting in Eldamar, and how they didn't accomplish anywhere near as much as the original movies had us believe but it's alright cause it was all about their love story all along.
Neo and Trinity's scenes made me smile at points, especially at the ending
Yeah that stuff is nice. But it hits in the nostalgia feels, and doesn't really serve to make the movie any better. I think that the nostalia and fan service are the only things that made the move tolerable.
Spoiler about something in this movie
I did felt sad when I learned that the real Morpheus has passed away in universe, even if it was just told to me, and seeing a statue dedicated to his honor, as well as looking like Laurence Fishburne did got the feelz out of me
That's unfortunate. I loved the Matrix. I liked Reloaded. Revolutions was a dumpster fire. This was a chance at redemption. I don't think it achieved that much.
Who cares? He's an insecure dick-biatch that can't take any criticism and nearly screams at everything.
If you must, he hates the sequels as well. I prefer Dark City much like him, but I have my limits. Though I am not going out of the my way to act like a smug douche, nor insult others for liking the sequels. Odds are he's gonna hate the 4th movie more than 2 and 3. He loves The Animatrix, so I will give him that, but that's all he is gonna get from me.
I never cared for the films myself. I was just curious as to what Doug thought of it. The answer might as well be an obvious one anyways. He hasn’t been good for years.
Names you'd recognize if you knew anything about chemistry in movies.

Watched it today in theaters and was shocked by just how much I hated it.
The first 45 minutes of the movie is just the writers telling the audience through the characters that they have absolutely no ideas for this movie, and then the rest of the movie proves that right.
I at least expected the action to be pretty good, but even that falls completely flat. None of the action is interesting, and most of the time the camera is too close to the action to actually see what's happening.
I can't think of a single scene in this movie that's actually memorable. The movie seems to be entirely confused about what it is.
I''m really completely done with the Matrix franchise now, which is really unfortunate because The Matrix is one of my favorite action movies of all time.

If frying all of a person's internal organs like a lightning rod is not enough to end them, I don't know what is. I didn't think the machines were sorcerers.

What I would have done is make Neo traces of the old Matrix (since he was already part code in the original trilogy) and Trinity a sentient recreation based on his memory, if I had to bring them both back. Neo would thus see the world from the perspective of the machines, being a program himself. Maybe the film could have been about the survival of the digital world and the sentient programs within. Bugs would have been the outsider looking in. Kind of reminds me of the game SOMA, where you play as a digital copy of a dead man.

Definitely wouldn't have brought any version of Smith back, since he was completely obliterated.

I've been done with the franchise since Reloaded. I did not even see Revolution until 2007; just for some minor closure.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

The Matrix Resurrections has an incredibly smart take on showing video games in movies
Your mind makes it real.
"Your heroes are old and pathetic and accomplished less than you thought they did" is the new cash grab.
