[NaijaProdigy Redux]

I wish I could get those 2.5 hours of my life back

Half of this shyt was flashbacks / ode to the trilogy;
And absolute garbage fight scenes in a Matrix movie for god’s sake

I had to fight falling asleep so many times…holy shyt

Going to treat this the same way I treat Godfather 3. Doesn’t exist.

Thank god for HBO Max because if I caught COVID watching this bullshyt in theaters

 

[Lootpack]

I’m
In the theater now this is the worse shyt i ever seen in my life




Please god I’m begging you stay at home

Bruh I’d just walk out and head into a Nightmare Alley screening

 

[(ALi)]

I'm 40 minutes in and this is an excruciating painful watch. fukk, what did I expect from two men who transitioned into another gender.

Stay at home or watch Spiderman as an alternative.

I can dig it, but I can also understand people who aren't fuccking with it or refuse to be more open-minded about it. This movie really exposes, mocks, critique and yet pander THIS SOCIETY and speaks on the evolution of how we became this type of society since the first Matrix. It's literally about US and our polarizing obsessions, our need to be "plugged" in, our cancel culture, the meta-verse, our desire for nostalgia bait and fan service, the LBGTQI agenda and even criticism of this agenda ironically. Being sheep versus free will with one side just want cool action, simple storytelling and the other crazy pretentious philosophy and ideas.

Everything in this movie isn't by accident and by design and very self-aware with it always supposed to reboot and redesign as part of the cycle. Going in that and understanding the ending of Revolutions where Neo submitted to go to the source and reboot the Matrix that I understood this being another cycle of the Matrix, only this time at the end the protagonists technically control it at will.

But being that we ALL ARE stuck in our own Matrix simulation, I can understand a lot of people aren't going to see or like what this movie or message is trying to say. ESPECIALLY after the enjoying with mindless glee SPIDER-MAN NO WAY HOME.

Naaaaaaaah this aint on age

Every combat interaction in this shyt was terrible

Bad choreography, weirdly shot, messy

I cannot say good or bad, but keep in mind this is an entirely different Matrix so even the fighting and how it is shot is different on purpose. The same director obviously knows how the old films were shot, so it's a director's choice to have it different due to the fact the simulation of the Matrix in this is completely different.

How does this excuse the bad fight scenes. Neo never even shooting a gun. All neo can now do is force push. Trinity losing her family (albeit bots but would have been real to her) and she getting over it within seconds.

This will always be the GOAT scene in this entire series.

They didn't have the fight staff from the OG trilogy....

Jessica Henwick would be seeded up night 1 if I'm being honest but as for the film, not a lot of gravitas...

She continues to be stuck to crappy projects...maybe she should have taken the MCU gigs...

Movie was a recap of the first 3 trying to force a way to use these characters again. It wasn’t necessary for the franchise. I don’t think it harmed the franchise though.

I hope they don’t plan on continuing this story though.

And I agree with everyone else.. new Morpheus was garbage. I don’t think the movie as a whole was trash. It’s an alright movie it’s just not up to par with Matrix standards and the plot just seems unnecessary when every new scene had to include flashbacks to the original trilogy

it’s weird hearing a character that’s suppose to be Mr. Smith say Tom and not Mr. Anderson

Spoiler

I liked the reinvention of the new Morpheus. I understand why people may dislike it and may dislike the new Agent Smith (which TECHNICALLY Morpheus is Smith as well in this). The original Morpheus is cool and in control (except in the last one due to his disillusionment). Agent Smith was menacing and a pure villain. This time around, BECAUSE the Matrix itself is different and this version of Morpheus is really a digital sentient of a Matrix WITHIN a Matrix, they're supposed to be and behave differently. Digital Sentient Morpheus only became that because he was a fan boy of the narrative that Neo designed. He was originally Agent Smith, but due to his programming he suddenly believe he's meant to find Neo which was the actual purpose of the ORIGINAL MORPHEUS.

Smith is a different story. From my understanding, and it's in conjunction to my understanding to how Revolutions ended, Neo had to get Smith to infect him so Smith can return to the source as originally he supposed to do to get purged. When they redesigned the Matrix with the purpose of bringing Neo back, Smith was STILL IN NEO. So he had to be reformatted back as well. But both were brainwashed to this simulation despite the new Smith is more like Neo's inner-conscious if that makes sense. What I mean is Smith in the beginning was somewhat being meta, not just for US, but jog Neo memory of who he is. But everything time it occurs, Neo is brought back to the analyst to get reconditioned again. But once Neo met Morpheus and the agents began to attack, everything suddenly came back for Smith, but he still confined to Neo assuming the way he'll be free is through Trinity, either by killing her or her becoming free herself which was the later. That's why Smith ended up helping Neo at the end because he was more doing it for himself to be free.

I say all that to say the reason why Smith is different is because he was reprogrammed to be more relatable to Neo now. So it's no longer the former "Mr. Anderson" it's "Tom".

For starters... why would Neo at this point or any point passed the FIRST Matrix need a GUN? Also, that's a weird to complain about Trinity losing a family that not only ever REAL, but programmed to keep her controlled and enslaved? The fucck Stockholm Syndrome you was hoping for?

It's one thing if you say you disliked how it was film in terms of action despite it being an artistic decision by the director due to the circumstances of the setting. But to complain silly shyt of Neo force pushing which was necessary to evade bullets and attacks (despite him having actual fight scenes too). You asking for things that are pointless to be mad about.

The fight choreography was such a downgrade from the OG movie.
You needed to watch all 3 of the other movies right before watching this one to even know what the hell was going on.
This was on par with Revolutions.

Aside not having the original fight crew... this version was supposed to be not fluid. It's a different Matrix. You may not enjoy it, but the criticism already mocked at how certain fans want that shyt... the bullet time and all of that. It was really intentional.
