Review of The Matrix Resurrections (2021) by Seriousgamefan — 24 Dec 2021

A very poor movie. If this was the movie that came out in the late 90s, it would have never skyrocketed to any measure of success. For those that say this movie wasn't so bad (or actually said it was decent or good), they have ZERO standards.

None. These people will accept trash. Compare this movie to the original Matrix which came out in 1999, the original had better music, better edited and flow, better more memorable supporting cast, costume design, fight choreography, tension and tone, momentum, style, etc.

The original had so many badass scenes. The only line I remember Apoc having, was when he turned to Neo and handed him a gun, and said "I hope the Oracle gave you some good news." With just one line he was more memorable than any of the new crew in Resurrections.

Switch, in her all white, first introduced by pointing a handcannon at Neo in the car. She was badass. Matrix Resurrections is a parody of the original Matrix, and is a fan-fiction version of it. Neo is ridiculous in this movie, as all he does is this Jedi 'force-push' move to protect himself.

There is a bootleg Morpheus in here, which does NOT work. They think the audience can tolerate this replacement of Morpheus... they are wrong. Same thing with the replacement of Agent Smith, which calls Neo 'Tom', instead of Mr.

Anderson (WTF?). All of this DOES NOT work. Also, the villain is corny and cringe. Nothing about this movie moved the Matrix series narrative any further. Another review said it perfectly that this was wholly unnecessary.

If you're not adding anything of substance to it, don't bother. Because then all you're doing is sullying the franchise name. The only thing this movie does is elevate the 1999 original to higher levels -- a different league, since this movie in comparison is such a downgrade.

I am left thankful that Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus) and Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith) get not get dragged down by this.
