Yea they have been a let down IMO and it makes you wonder if the Matrix really came from them of if they straight jacked the story. I mean even their fight scenes in movies are Sci-Fi movie level shyt compared to the piffery that was on display throughout the Matrix movies. That Sense 8 is on some other shyt thats obviously pushing that other brothers/sister's agenda. Damn shame.

didnt they steal the idea from some lady or did she lose that lawsuite?

To be fair, Dark City did it before hand, Neuromancer before that, however, the Wachowski's made the epitome of all cyberpunk/kung-fu flicks, and made it work. But then studios want more money and more sequels...

Which usually leads to

These dudes are f*cking trash brehs. No way to side step around it. You can't drop one megatron bomb in the first 'Matrix' and follow that with nothing but complete and uttter wackness. And I don't want to hear sh*t about 'V For Vendetta" or "Cloud Craptus" them sh*ts is nothing special too. Who in the f*ck keeps green lighting all these dudes and dudettes projects:mindblown: They can't even make nothing decent for Netflix. And they let you do whatever the f*ck you want if you have a name:mjcry:

Even garbage azz M. Knight Shyamalan had 'Unbreakable' and 'Signs'.. The Wachowskis don't even have these in their arsenal. Props to that sista that penned the original Matrix:salute: Hope she got her money. I don't even wanna jump to some conspiracy sh*t but these dudes are f*ckin' garbage man. Their sh*t is not consistent at all. And with every release everybody is wondering can they catch that Matrix magic again :lupe:and a sorely disappointed once the movie drops. We can't even get a decent storyline much less any magic.:francis:

The W Brothers/Sisters:camby:

yea they are one hit wonders

She definitely didn't win any $. This case is weird. If you google it you will get stories with multiple outcomes so I can't call it.

Generally speaking they are overrated but I like Cloud Atlas, I fukks with that heavy and would recommend it to anyone.

I think I remember that she lost but she also claimed they stole terminator 2 from her too I believe. This shyt prob does happen all time tho, studio gets a script and cuts the person out for there own people.

At least they take risk. At least they don't try to make the same cookie cutter blockbusters Hollywood puts out. Look "The Matrix" was revolutionary. It was a work of art that drew from several and many different influences including that black woman's sophia book. They brought it all together and made the best film to take us into the 21st century. It's been 16 years and look at how impactful the Matrix was to popular culture and society. It's crazy. Yes the sequels didn't top the original butv "Reloaded" was still hard body. "Revelations" was shaky and the weight of the concept might of been too much to wrap up in a third film. I believe there should be a 2nd Matrix Trilogy to fully flesh out the rest of the ideas that they presented. If Star Wars had 2 Trilogies and Lord the Rings did. I think Matrix is a large enough world for a 4, 5 and 6 film.

"Ani-Matrix" tried to do that but it couldn't do it all though it did a great job. As for the rest of their films. "Speed Racer" was one of those movies that has grown in standing overtime. People hated on it when it dropped and it underperformed. Now it's turned into a cult film. "V For Vendetta" also has a cult fanbase though they only produced it. I loved "Ninja Assassin" which they produced because we hadn't had a cool Ninja movie in the mainstream in years. I grew up on Ninja movies in the 80's. They even brought Sho Kosugi back who's a Legend of Ninja movies. "Cloud Atlas" was dope but I understand the general audiences not getting it. Also the "Yellow Face" was unnecessary even though many people were playing different races and parts throughout the film. But these dudes hand 6 movies in 1 and had it interchanging. Just to do that and the cast was really good with Tom, Hally and Hugo.

"Jupiter Ascending" was basically a sci-fi fairy tale. I didn't like the bad guy who went on to win a Oscar for a different film, his name was Eddie. But the world they built in the film was pretty cool that they built. Again it was a love story with Channing being the hero prince and Mila being the princess or in this case, Queen in need of help. The action in it was cool as well as the space scenes. It also underperformed. So audiences haven't been flocking to their movies in the last 10 years so yes it's been a rocky road for the Wachoski's since The Matrix Trilogy ended but I wouldn't say they are bad filmmakers at all. I think they are rebels to the system and try to bring more original and creative ideas for the forfront instead of the same formula driven films that hollywood pumps out. Now after several under performing films. I'm hoping they realize it's time to return to the Matix. Keanu has had some under perfomers in the last decade too with "John Wick" just now getting him some success recently. MATRIX 4: 3D 2018. Tell me that wouldn't break records?
