I don't know about that. Love was a huge part of the 1st (and by far best) Matrix movie. The thing was the love story was worked in throughout amazing action sequences & was baked into a well written plot. Just everything about 4 seemed forced. And I really can't remember any action sequences even close to on par with either of the first 2 movies. Leaving it as nothing but a lackluster love story with a few not very good action sequences mixed in. [Reply]

I've only watched a handful of movies that I regret, 'A.I. Artificial Intelligence' comes to mind. Just think made for TV SyFi Movie. Not cringe worthy but not good.
You won't walk out wanting to poke your own eyes out but don't expect much.
The whole franchise went from great to, well see above. [Reply]
Wasn't bad...I was entertained though. Don't think it needs more movies but it had that nostalgia and it was cool seeing Carrie Ann moss and Keanu back together. [Reply]

There wasn't a single thing good about this movie. Couldn't even enjoy the nostalgia because it was so bad.
Yeah I definitely wouldn't put it ahead of #3. (and I don't think 3 was good either)
Honestly I really think the part where they talk about how the executives are going to make the new Matrix game with or without Neo is a not very subtle instance of art immitating life. IMO the Wachowskis were told "we're making a new Matrix movie with or without you" and the one that agreed to do it either mailed it in or flat out sabatoged it so they wouldn't have to make any more.

The first half of the movie was somewhat interesting, even if it felt like they tried to smash all three former Matrix movies into an hour and a half. The rest was a rushed and off kilter mess. The guy that played Smith was good, but I never understood the purpose of his character outside of Deus Ex Machina-ing Doogie at the end.
Weird movie; made little sense outside of it being a love story and giving Neo and Trinity their happily every after. [Reply]
