The Matrix, but not because of the movie itself.

I rewatched it a couple of weeks ago during a Fathom Event for the film's 25th anniversary. The movie still holds up (arguably even moreso now since it's all about the dangers of an AI takeover), but a lot of its impact is diminished because so many movies in the 2000s tried to rip it off. I imagine younger viewers seeing it for the first time the way some people view Superman, Seinfeld or classic Simpsons--groundbreaking for their times, but so many imitators that make it harder to stand out as time goes on.

Plus the fact that the whole red pill ideology came from this movie :francis: though in hindsight it's hilarious that all these so-called 'alpha males' based their whole personality on a movie by two trans women:mjlol:
This is likely true. Matrix 1 was the GOAT theatre experience for me..it was damn near a spiritual experience :wow:

Everybody stole from it tho, BulletTime was forced into every action film and videogame, then it it got parodied to death, then the fukkery that became the wachowski siblings and weaker sequels etc.

Interesting… any particular reason??
I saw it when it first came out and was like :mindblown::noah: :ohlawd: I would tell everyone to go see it...then i watched it sevral years later like:unimpressed: trying to figure out why i stanned the movie to begin with.

it not wack, it was just underwhelming.

I can watch other classics repeatedly and they will still give me the same feelings :manny:

I feel you… i enjoy the movie up until he decends into the teseract, and I get the premise of why it’s there but I just don’t believe that is what awaits you going into a black hole… it just seems like that doesn’t fit the story.. also he comes out of the tesseract and is now back near Saturn at the space station :what: However I still love the movie… being gone a few months and your children aged 20+ years is gut wrenching

IMO Joker (2019) and The Dark Knight (2008)


both DC cultprits :lolbron: I remember coming out the theatre after watching both like :gladbron: but every time I rewatch either they get worse and worse. I consider Todd Phillips Joker genuinely trash now while the Dark Knight is just mid :ehh:
dark knight is timeless.

joker is garbage.

Some of the most powerful acting ever.

Learn how to grow up and take an opinion like an adult instead of being a faggit. :unimpressed:

Nah, hold that neg, you big c00n.

There are plenty of Marvel films you could have picked. Films that relied on flash over substance but you picked the Black Panther.

You picked the Black Panther because you're that 4 chinned Sambo who wants to show white people you're comfortable disparaging things they associate with Black people.

Less move to Africa, maaaaaaan

:scusthov:
That was a running joke between me and some friends for a while after that movie. Anytime something bad happened "less move to Africa". I'm more tripping that people thought it was good in the first place. I thought the consensus was that the movie had great visuals but the story made no sense and Nas was a horrible actor. Didn't Meth even rap on a track shortly after about how he don't know how to act like the whole cast of Belly.

Imagine getting emotional and in your feelings over a made up comic book movie. :russell:

I don’t give a shyt about impressing some fukking crackers. I thought the movie was ok/good at best and that’s it. BTW my main beef is that they downgraded T’Challa SEVERELY and made him a damn minor character in his own movie.

If I watch a flick more than once I loved it and repeat viewings only enhance it
