I may have been one of the few who really enjoyed the whole Matrix trilogy. The story got worse as it got towards the end, but both Reloaded and Revolutions were quite good as standalone action films.
[UPDATE] Rumor: Wachowskis Preparing Two More Matrix Sequels

I didn't even like the first one let alone 2 and 3...I would completely ignore this time a 4th and 5th movie.
Thankfully I didn't see it in the theaters I just went ahead and waited till it hit TNT.

Bawwwwww.
Would have been nice. Whatever you say about the story, at least we'd have gotten more awesome kung-fu fights

Wait, wouldn't stopping the production of the movies be the abortion?Ignatz_Zwakh said:

Weird? What could possibly be weird about a man creating a dream within a dream within a dream about a virutal reality program simulating an alien linking with a human through the means of another computer program simulating another program?Reed Spacer said:
Ok it is a hoax. Not that I wouldn't want to see more, probably not at the top of my list, but I'd still watch it, but I don't see how they could possibly do more. Couldn't do a prequel or a sequel and keep Neo in it...
There were bits out of both of the sequels that were quite enjoyable. Though the ending did stink and ruined the rest for me. It has been a long time since I have wanted to see even the original.Tom Goldman said:
As for this bit of news, sounds like someone might be in a bit of trouble at his school.
If it was being revived the Wachowskis' best bet would be to pull some talent from the Animatrix shorts to "revive" the story.
Well, I'm not interested. The Wachowskis have... well... proven themselves to be competent, but nothing particularly special. The First Matrix felt like a lucky fluke. Everything else they've released as been "okay" at best, downright awful at worst. With a track-record like that, I can't get excited about any new Matrix films, especially if Mr. Woodface, sorry, Mr. Reeves, returns. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Keanu Reeves, reports indicate that he's a swell guy who gave part of his pay check to other members of the production team to thank them. But he can't act. I'm serious, he's a terrible, terrible, awful actor, and I really don't want to see him in any more films. The only roles he's fit to play are those of robots or lobotomised patients.
So those are the reasons I'm not looking forward to any new Matrix films:]
1) The Wachowski duo are no longer anything special. They're competent, but so are many directors/producers/writers
2) The Matrix trilogy ended very poorly (come on, Agent Smith screaming "it's not FAIR!" on the verge of tears? That's just Ham acting combined with poor writing. I mean seriously, "IT'S NOT FAIR!"?)
3) Keanu Reeves, despite being a decent guy according to most, cannot act to save his life. Seriously. He's one of the worst mainstream actors in modern cinema. At least bad actors can give a hammy performance with SOME emotion, but Reeves? He Deadpans his way through 99% of his films. I can't imagine why people hire him.
4) Suits and Execs will be ALL OVER THIS. They will, mark my words. This will be a money-spinning exercise by business automatons who have a can of tomatoes residing where their heart is supposed to be. You know studio execs - they'd sell their first born child if it meant a 25% increase in quarterly profits.

...Yeah, there's no way you get two full scripts done, and talk with your main actor, and somehow keep this all under wraps.
That, and honestly, who would want a franchise with 5 MOVIES. God, Saw started getting bad after 4, and since the third one ended with pretty much saying, yeah, it's over, there wouldn't be much to go on for two whole new sequels.
Shame, I would have liked to see something like a reimagining or a different view of the story, maybe from the perspective of a different character.
