Just FYI, I don't have a telegram and I'd never do a giveaway in the comments section. It's a scam. I'm trying to block them as fast as they keep popping up.
Uh, when matrix started a flip phone wouldn't connect to internet...
So where the hell was this going? Neo plugs into the machine world
The train station scene with the family is them trying to reach the Frenchman before the matrix trashes the machine that unplugged neo...
Matrices
You know what I thought of while watching this movie? Speed Racer. Yeah, Wachowski production aside, something that strikes me about both Speed Racer and Matrix 4 is that they are so genuine it almost hurts. The Matrix 4 spends nearly a third of its runtime outright bullying the people who thought they knew what The Matrix was about, and Lana tears down each layer unapologetically until we get to what it's really been all along: a love story. Neo and Trinity. Trinity and Neo. There's no subtlety or second-guessing, this movie knows what it's about and will beat you over the head until you get it. Love conquers all.
I'm a bit sad you skipped over the scene where Bugs tells Neo how much his story meant to her because that's really Lana's manifesto laid bare, but it could still be in part 2, right? ...right?
Can’t wait for a Speed Racer video on this channel!
Yeah my takeaway from this is that he should do one for Speed Racer
right the whole reason neo became the one was his love for morpheus the reason he sacrifices himself is for the love of trinity and everyone one in zion....the architect assumed his love was only for trinity and thats why he failed
It is a beautiful movie full of hope and love. Unapologetic, full of text. I love it to pieces.
I’ve been waiting to come back to this movie. First time I saw it in theaters it didn’t grab me. I was actually kind of sad about it. But I had a feeling I’d have the same reaction to this movie that I had to Hot Fuzz. It was the last of the Cornetto trilogy that I had seen and on my first watch I outright didn’t like it, but as time went on and I saw it more and more it slowly became my favorite. I don’t think this movie is going to top the first Matrix for me, but it is better than I originally gave it credit
the 'lexy is what you get when you mix Keffals and Jenna Marbles' line completely destroyed me with the sheer truth of it
Honestly, I thought this movie was pretty good. Not great, but not bad either, just good. It really tells how time has gone by between the second and third movies (given that they were done back to back) and this one. Also, it just so happens that you uploaded a video the same day CinemaSins did. I don’t think that’s happened before, but here we are. Keep up the good work as always, Lee!
Same but it’s just so hard not to compare it to the original matrix. It takes some real balls to take a chance on following up the trilogy, it’s tough to do
@@josephwilliams1251 You are absolutely right.
Jessica Henwick is ALWAYS A WIN
Right. That’s who she was. It was driving me crazy the whole video and I was this close to going and googling it.
Lee likes Sense8? Damn I didn't think I could love him more. Also, never noticed the robot that looks like one of the ones from the Animatrix. Any chance of doing EGA Animatrix?
Many people went into this movie expecting to feel like it was 1999 again but the movie went out of its way to say "Nope, that's not what this is about. We're done here. Peace."
It's no wonder many bounced off it but I respect the hell out of everything it does.
It went out of its way to make something bad. If they wanted to be different, then make it good different. Don't include poorly choreographed fight scenes with terrible editing.
It just seemed like she wanted to be certain they wouldn't call them back.
I went in knowing it was a bad cash grab
SO GLAD YOU'RE DOING THIS
I was fine with this movie once I realized it was a protest letter against always trying to continue a story that had finished . . . and even then it manages to give us a better ending that Revolutions.
6:55 I didn't notice the "Look Left/Right" when I watched this movie.... LMFAO! I've been messing with my coworkers for years by texting that and saying it while on a call... If you haven't tried it yet then you're missing out on some really good comradery and laughs.
Not my favorite Matrix movie but I did appreciate how the stakes were more personal in this one. Rather than saving the world, it’s about saving Trinity.
I think this movie gets way more hate than it deserves. Is it as good as the 1st movie, no I'd put it on par with the 3rd movie. That being said I loved Yahya Abdul-Mateen as Morpheus, Jonathan Groff as Smith, and Neil Patrick Harris as The Analyst.
The one thing I really liked about this movie is that it felt like a breath of fresh air. So many movies nowadays try to use nostalgia to make people like them, and in doing so, people get angry at said movies. But Matrix: Resurrections felt like it’s the only one to say “remembering things is okay.”
Yes, OKAY!--I GET IT, there was the Warner Brothers "they're forcing us to make a sequel!" Meta gag / gripe in the movie.
But that complaint doesn't Define The Whole MOVIE.
People who think that Lana and Keanu and Cary Ann Moss would deliberately crap💩 on their legacy don't understand artists.
They might complain--but they will rise to the occasion!
And I think they made a perfectly great, witty, nostalgic yet refreshed, forlorn film about middle aged Trinity and Neo, still trapped in the world of the unreal…and how they once again triumph.
10:55 just the quick shot reminded me of Bullet train and Im hoping that will be a movie that you do a video on, i loved it
I absolutely love how many Sense8 references/cast members are actually in this movie
The best thing about this video is the discovery how many productions Johnathan Groff is in
CINEMAWINS REFERENCING KEFFALS? Hell yea
I was scrolling through the comments hoping to see another person as happy about this as I am. CinemaWins is so based I love it.
9:26 NAILED IT!!!! Mr.Anndeersooooooooon
PLEASE DO EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE PLEASE 🥺💗💗
Hey! Awesome that you’re doing this one!
Could you do the Book of Eli? A super cool film that I think you’d really enjoy dissecting.
Request for Everything Great About Fight Club!
Upload number 11 of:
DO WILLOW!!!! DONT TEASE!!! JUST DO WILLOW!!! love ya!!!
Can you do some of the studio ghibli films? Would be great to see what you pick out of those
I haven't seen a direct mention to it yet but the reason Morpheous isn't here is because he died in the MMO which as far as I know is still currently canon to the story
That mention about Lexy looking like a mix between Keffals and Jenna Marbles was so accurate it made me pause the movie and grapple with how perfect of a comparison that is.
I want a whole movie about Bugs.
My how many times I couldn't count of request for Everything Great About Fight Club
EGA WolfWalkers, Power Rangers (2017) and E.T. The Extra-terrestrial please!
I have and always love all the Matrix films but damn you make me appreciate them more. Also LOVE your weapons knowledge
King George III makes a great Agent Smith Recoded.
Da king is back baby he neva miss
There should be an everything great about cinema wins but it would never end
I really really loved the 4th movie, but one thing i think that would've made it even better and more mind blowing is if they actually switched the color coding. We already associated blue with submission and control, but If NPH had red frames on his glasses instead of blue and was prescribing red pills, It would've totally threw us off and blow my mind away. It would also show the AI and the system adapting to the changing conditions, trying to outsmart the humans.
you should make coraline next!!!!!!
Ohhh I been waiting for this one.
As a fans of the original trilogy, yes I enjoy the 2nd and the 3rd ones, I found the 4th movie as hilariously entertaining. It twisted a lot of expectation, middle-fingering the WB execs, make fun of the hardcore fans of the original. I also enjoyed that Machine could physically coexist with human.
wow there's a lot of Sense8 actors in this film!
13:14 funny fish glory to keffals
Wait when did this get released I thought it was going to be released in /023
This feels like it won't be a two parter.
I loved this movie when it came out, and I began to feel bad about it because of other people's opinions but looking in the comments, I am glad to still love this movie; it was a meta capstone on the series which salts the earth so much that not even remaking the series will work.
This movie does not want there to be a sequel or reboot, and talks about itself and frames it as the most annoying thing ever. It was akin to God creating a burrito so hot and heavy that He Himself could not eat it. This movie ironies itself to death out of spite. Meanwhile also telling a love story that is almost Regency-esque with the star-crossed lovers angle mixed with second chance. It is the fried peanut butter banana sandwich of movies, in that you already have to have a very weird palate to find it enjoyable.
Sure, I suppose it could be sad that the concept of the red pill has been coopted from the movie, but it's such an apt analogy, and being used for such a good cause.
This was the only one that made me genuinely question my reality
I KNOW it was a fever dream to watch. It was just a full on shitpost. What had me rolling was the merovingian scene i legit thought i was dreaming cause it was so hilariously bad.
@@noahcabrera9870 "what better place to hide the truth than in something as ordinary as a video game" what better place to hide the truth than in something as ordinary as a movie series
Great that’s exactly what a matrix film should do: compel you to question your reality.
@@master-of-mind5881 I think the meta beginning was what did it. I've started noticing a LOT of blue around me, and my favorite red things disappear a lot
I can’t be the only one who thinks this movie gets better and better every time you watch it… I think the hate on this movie is unwarranted
I thought this film was great. Obviously not as good as the first matrix but neither was Reloaded or Revolutions. If they just had the $$$ for better choreography and could’ve gotten Hugo to reprise Agent Smith, this would be so much better received
WHO does He thinks He is FOOLING around???
Those who played His Matrix = because they readied from His mind that He just wanted it like that???
To be Complicated for other to Understand???
Top gun maverick please when you can
Do Top Gun Maverick
I genuinely avoid mirror’s because of the matrix series
this movies plot could have worked if fake morpheus was actually a person and audience insert, basically the new "Neo". They find him living in a hidden portion of the new matrix and subtly being trained as the next morpheus when bugs frees him. Neo is basically Luke from the Last Jedi, but they rescue him, he's uber powerful but weaker because his power is split with trinity, and the movie plays out the same but with new morpheus having actual stakes and growing from weak to strong. maybe cuz im black but I genuinely enjoyed the new morpheus character and would have enjoyed the role reversal with Neo training "morpheus" but nah hardly any screen time at all tbh and AI so not really clear on what even his story is
Ngl that's an even sh*ttier story than this.
Commenting on every video until you do the cars trilogy
Who's in the mirror at 6:13¿
Still prefer this movie over Revolutions!
“We’ve just been telling the same stories we’ve always been told. Just with different names, different faces.” Perfectly sums up Alice in Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz.
Theory states that there are 7 original stories and all other stories are either adaptation or parody of the original
ZARDOZ
So, the distinction is in the telling...
I believe the book called "Man With A Thousand Faces" covers the fact that all fictional stories can boil down to the same type of journey, just with different stuff representing the different aspect.
Archetypes
I like to interpret Matrix 4 as a post-ironic semi-satiric deconstruction of the whole sequel thing made by the Wachowskis, simultaneously saying "we're done here, there is nothing to add to the story".
I feel like the film was also a giant middle finger to nostalgia coked fans and WB execs.
It was only one of the two sisters this time
I think of it as more of a Taoist interpretation of nihilistic capitalism reflected through the conceptual lens of the postmodern neo-Marxist narrative.
I really like that the movie felt like a video game, and at the end both Neo and Trinity enter Sandbox Mode
They still made it tho
If the first ones about childhood, the second one adolescence, and the third one adulthood…..I’m inclined to say this one is the mid-Life crisis stage of the saga.
Hey! I bet you'll talk about this in the conclusion, but one of my favorite things about this Matrix is how the relationship with our online presence has changed since original Matrix. In the 90's, the internet is something you login to, you have avatars that you make and the way in and out of the matrix was the phone lines, hence the phone booths. In Resurrection, the way in and out is a mirror, because the internet is no longer something you login to, but now a reflection of your life and what you choose to have the world see.
Love your channel, big fan!
> the way in and out is a mirror
Not to mention the way we log in is through black mirrors these days. Screens and phones and monitors.
@@LycoLoco HOLY SHIT IS THAT WHY IT'S CALLED BLACK MIRROR? WTFFFFFFF I NEVER REALISED THAT WHAT
@@littleredruri "Any TV, any LCD, any iPhone, any iPad - something like that - if you just stare at it, it looks like a 'Black Mirror,' and there's something cold and horrifying about that, and it was such a fitting title for the show"
Huh, and here I thought it's just another nifty reference to Alice in the Wonderland.
Plus, the Wachowski Sisters are both trans. I can say from personal experience that being trans makes you have a weird relationship with both phone calls and mirrors. There's a ton of stuff in the 1st and 4th movies that reference transness: blue was the color of antidepressants, and red was the color of estrogen pills. They wanted Switch to be played by different actors- a woman in the Matrix, and a man in the solid world- a show of how "residual self image" (what we feel is our true selves), is not always the same as what nature gives us to work with.
Mirrors are very strange when you're trans: there's a sort of unreal reality. I always saw a middle-aged man in bad drag in the mirror when I was trying desperately to be a girl in HS. If I separated the image from myself, I could tell that she looked pretty enough... I'd probably date her. But when I saw her as _me,_ she was unbearably ugly.
What I saw in the mirror was not what everyone else saw... I mean that in a non-literal sense. And I knew that- I knew that no one else saw a middle aged man in bad drag when they looked at me, but I couldn't un-see it. It's like my brain was trying to force me to get a glimpse of reality. It was screaming at me, shaking me, shouting: "YOU ARE A GUY, YOU MORON!" But I was too stuck in trying to be the girl I was told I was.
I've heard my transfemme friends talk about how they see themselves more and more in the mirror as they continue HRT. After cutting my hair, I kept getting tiny glimpses of the person I really am. It feels a bit like how the water glitches into code in the movie. You can kind of see it and then it's gone again. I think the Wachowski Sisters are farther along in their transition than I am. For them, it's the memory of their unreality that they can sometimes still see. But now that they've transitioned, the mirror reflects reality.
I'm starting on T this coming month. I don't expect it to work over night, but I imagine the person in the mirror will start to feel more and more real.
If there's one thing I do love about this movie, it's that we finally have Machines and Humans co-existing for real and them having a relatively happier ending than Zion alone could have. Seeing the good machines becoming sentient and thriving in Io is heartwarming af. Just wish we could have explored that more.
I had been hoping for that when there were programs who helped Neo out of kindness in the third movie. It was so nice to see that followed through here.
Maybe a good premise for a second round of “Animatrix” shorts. With core world expansion comes fertile ground for new growth, new stories, and endless possibilities. A theme central to the concept of the Matrix at its heart.
Thank you for making a channel where people like me can come and not be ashamed that they loved this movie.....and revolutions too!!!
Yeah unlike other channels who use "sins" to hate on movies
God, I'm watching it again right now, the original matrix was a better movie, I liked reloaded more, but I loved resurrections. (Revolution had some amazing scenes but didn't hit me quite as hard)
Resurrections just clicked with me
Where you can go and become braindead and dumbed down as well to be a sheep in it's pin.
@@unstablebrother Yea unlike those other intelligent channels who see past this hollyweird bullshit with delivering bad quality movies that know their full potential but calls them out for making mediocre content. Yea 🤣🤣 those dummy channels I can't believe they want us to have a phenomenal great box office experiences instead of rushed unfinished content.
I just didn't hate this movie like the online people. It was fun. Had some great action scenes. If anything trim some of the cast and up the crazy more.
Finally another overhated movie on this channel instead of movies that are universally loved. This is why i love your channel.
Would be really fucking cool if he did Elvis. (Also Everything Everywhere All At Once) Mixed on the direction and the pacing, but I love how faithful it is to Elvis’s life and the little Easter eggs and references incorporated in the story. Also Austin Butler fucking kills it as Elvis.
4:05 is that Mitch bilsky from Henry danger
Bud, his list few videos include captain marvel snd eternals. He’s been consistent on that one
Though you are right, it id shy his channel’s so dope
@@josephwilliams1251 the captian marvel one is an older 2 parter edited together into 1 and i didn't notice he did eternals, it probs got buried in my sub feed. gonna go watch that one now.
@@laughingduck1000 This is what notifications are for lol
I ❤ having Chad Stahelski in as""Tiff"'s husband!
There's the obvious connection with the first series, and the extra meta that the Matrix gave her a "lesser" version of Neo, his "double."
And I'm betting "Chad" was his name in the script before getting Stahelski (see Urban Dictionary)
I know there's a Part 2 coming, but I have to say, much as it was great seeing Keanu back, watching Carrie Anne Moss in action again, and I MEAN IN ACTION was worth the price of admission.
STILL wanna see the story of Trinity, a underground legend hacker and a fighter better than Morpheus, and nearly as well-known.
Also, Neo's reflection is Moss' husband
So, she's married to a "Chad" who is a "copy" of Neo and Neo looks like her true love
@11:50
I've always found the bug-like creatures being the most sound and logical thing about the machines.
The earth is literally filled with bugs, and it's the organism that manages to survive best on this blue and green rock.
I loved this Movie and I brought it on Blu-ray it’s so good and fun return to The matrix
I'm STILL trying to find the Blu-ray.
While I think Reloaded is the best Matrix film, this is my favourite Matrix film.
Could we get A EVERYTHING GREAT ABOUT THE BACK TO THE FUTURE FILMS!!
Nostalgia is a strong drug
And Disney became the biggest dealer of all
Truth. But, there's a limited supply. Have to create new childhood memories to be nostalgic about eventually.
On repeat viewings, this movie gets better and better. Yahya Abdul Matorpheus II is awesome.
This movie is 100% a product of its auteur, yes, the action is not up to standards, there are no technical innovations, but it is a wild, imaginative, out of the ordinary film and it is one of the most personal blockbusters paid for by a big movie studio ever made. It is at the end of the day the one thing I wanted from this movie: A Matrix movie. Love it.
Yeah, a matrix movie for children.
I watched Matrix: Resurrections before finally getting around to give Sense8 a go - and absolutely loving it - so I just realized how the Wachowskis once again managed to include half the cast of a previous project in their latest work. Half the damn cluster!
Daniela, Puck and Felix as well (those were the three I recognized). There's probably more as well. Edit; so is Rajan and Amanita .
I'm happy you are enjoying Sense8 it's a good show sad it got canceled but the finale was just so beautiful! I hope you continue enjoying it!
I know it is love or hate with that movie, but I absolutely love it, especially the first part inside the new Matrix.
I don't think i can compare this movie to the og trilogy, but I'm still happy with what we got, this movie is awesome and i love it, not as much as the others but still, great stuff.
Funny, I was just rewatching this movie again, and…. Being honest.
I still love it.
Cinematography and stunts are a bit…. Iffy, during the action scenes.
But the story….. I absolutely loved everything related to the story….. it fits perfectly with the rest of the films.
I honestly kind of like date visual approach. I liked the willingness to embrace the distinctly digital aesthetic as opposed to everyone trying to soften the image with old lenses and grade it to make it more film like.
It's literally the worst oart of the film, it's parody-movie level of bad story
@@malcoerazo4213 you forgot to add: ‘’in my opinion’’ mate.
@@malcoerazo4213 how
@@littleredruri it appeals to people who think meta humor is the funniest and smartest shit ever, just like another succesful disaster film, Don't Look Up. The story makes no fucking sense, the characters are as bland as they get, the new characters' only characteristic is being extravagant, and boring, but HEY, they did it on purpose cause 'Matrix old, let's parody Matrix, funniest shit ever'. Again, don't even try to argue that the story is interesting or makes sense cause it doesn't, the only way you can enjoy this movie is by buying all the self-awareness crap and pretend you're watching one of them Epic Movies
I would like to see a mid-quel of what happened to the real Morpheus in between the 60 years of Revolutions and Resurrections. Just to confirm if the video games are canon.
As someone who saw this movie in theatres, I loved it, and I still don't really understand why so many people hate on it
Cuz it's lazy and lacks any comprehension of heros journey, nor does it respect the hero, also it's literally a rehash of the 1st one without the philosophical notion, bad acting, bad choreography, villains are very uninteresting and weak, side characters have no character
I could go on, but this is why
Because it is not needed as a film. It feels like a cash-grab.
@@ninjanibba4259 it's a film that self-comments on the fact that it exists and has to be a follow-up to an iconic franchise. Kind of a takedown on the idea of this era of reboots and nostalgia. Basically a movie that pokes fun of its own unnecessary existence. I liked it for that.
@@anthonymartensen3164 you seriously don't see how lazy that is? The fact they felt the need to say that speaks on the quality of the film, not to mention it did nothing with it
The purpose of meta humor or commentary is that those ideas are supposed to base the characters around an ever changing view on life and the movie they're in, this has none of that
Everything Everywhere All At Once is an example of how to be meta while telling a personal story and pushing that narrative of control
@@ninjanibba4259 I feel like this film is a personal story. And beyond that simply a way of saying goodbye to these characters. Albeit in a way that clearly didn't do it for a lot of people.
There is legitimate criticism for this film. I don’t care; I still love it to pieces. A movie doesn’t have to be good to be a good movie.
Yeah agreed. The fight scenes needed to be better. Better shot, better choreographed, etc, but there is SO much to love in this film.
I unironically, unequivocally, unreservedly, unabashedly, unotherwordily LOVE this movie.
Its themes and layers will outlast its criticisms, in my opinion. Its irreverence, cheekiness, self-awareness, self-criticism, and love of the fans makes a delicious dessert after a filling meal.
Ain't nothing in this world, or any simulation thereof, which could make me dislike a single frame in this anti-cynical ode to joy, hope, and love.
The story feels complete and all the shaped buttons on the Playstation controller are represented. Circle, X, triangle, square. All my buttons were pushed.
This
See, i felt otherwise in cinema. (not to argue against your own opinions, just discussion. Feel i need to see it again).
Felt all the self referentals and reasons for recasts and re-use of characters and themes and plots made the film a pale shadow off itself. Remided me of 'The force awakens'. Like there was a reason they originaly parroted the first starwars, which would have made sense in later movies, but it was a the detriment of the film itself.
For me, the most interesting part of the film was when they said that the machines had a civil war over resourses, and i thought 'oh, this is getting interesting. tell me more', then they never mention it again. Like, did they get some humans on the machines side. Is Neils character one of them? They let him run the matrix because hes human and thinks like humans? Are there more factions beyond human/machines/Io.
IDK, to be honest the film introduces so many interesting characters and stuff, but doesnt do anything with them. I feel like they were banking on my nostalgia to make the film work. Like had i never seen the original trilogy, would I have enjoyed it? I didnt LOVE the 2nd and 3rd of the original trilogy, but i recognised them as good films. But i didnt on this one.
@@chaotea2042 got to agree. Do wish there was more details about the machines who allied themselves with humans. I feel like there were a few tie-ins to The Matrix Online that they probably didn't have a chance to explore too much, like how you could actually work with the machines (which to me makes sense. They still dominate the planet and could destroy humanity if they wanted to, but they don't. It felt like you were actually being diplomatic and working to bridge both sides. Especially since there's machines in the original films like Sati, the Oracle etc who are friendly to humanity.)
@@chaotea2042 That's the most respectful disagreement of opinion that's been directed at me in a long time. A long time.
Cheers!
I can't believe people think this.
Not gonna lie, I spun the movie up simply because I'm a fan of the originals and curiosity got the better of me. I went in with the expectation that I was in for a bad time.
And... the movie genuinely surprised me in a way I didn't think could happen. The first third or so definitely had me apprehensive, but by the end of the movie, I think the best summary for me that I can word would be - it's exactly what it should have been given its legacy. It throws subtlety to the wind more often than not but as a reimagining I really actually loved it.
Yes, its so nice knowing im not alone in feeling this way
I feel like the Matrix franchise is one of those "You had to be there" franchises. I like the first one fine enough but I've never really gotten the deal with it other than the visual effects. But hey, everyone has those special movies
The main problem I have with Matrix 4 is that it seems it was made purely out of spite. If we're to believe the meta references in the movie itself, it would seem the studio wanted to make Matrix 4 'with or without' the people that made the trilogy. And so it seems that those people, mainly Lana only accepted out of spite and made sure they would never make another Matrix again by making a movie that hates it's own existence. Which okay, bold move, but that doesn't make the movie automatically good just because it's so 'self aware'.
And as much as I don't like pointless reboots and forced sequels just imagine what this movie could've been if it landed in the hands of some director and crew who were actually excited to make another Matrix movie. And believe me there's so many people in Hollywood who would love to make anything Matrix related and would make a hell of a good job too.
But we got what we got and IMO it's inferior to the trilogy in so many ways. (And to be honest I am one of those people that think The Matrix should've ended on movie 1 as that was a complete story).
So about those inferior things - the fights. I just cannot fathom how a sequel to The Matrix which is still regarded for having one the best choreographed and filmed fight scenes in cinema history, could drop the ball so hard 22 years later. The technology in that time has improved so much, we can now do things they could only dream back then, and yet the fight scenes are just objectively worse, full of cuts, pulling hits and filmed mostly in extreme closeup and with shakycam adding to the confusion.
Neo vs Morpheus and Neo vs Smith are two scenes which heavily reference the same match-ups from the first movie, but come off as nothing more than cheap imitations. You can say it's because the actors got older (well that would only apply to Keanu as the other two actors are younger) but then you look at John Wick and you can see that Keanu still got it. And if he didn't, well there are ways around it nowadays with CG doubles that when done right can look indistinguishable from the real thing.
Sadly the CG in this movie is not very good either. In fact there are some inexcusably bad effects in it.
And honestly I don't like Jonathan Groff as Smith - I don't think he acted bad or anything but he just doesn't fit the role - he doesn't have that intimidating aura and voice that Hugo Weaving had.
At least with Morpheus they didn't exactly replace him as we're aware he's not really the same Morpheus. On the other hand I wish he would just do his own thing instead of trying to imitate the real Morpheus so often.
And the saddest thing is that there are a lot of good ideas in the movie - I like the future setting with good and bad machines, I like the concept of programs interacting with the real world, I even like the character of Bugs. Honestly if they leaned into these elements this could've been an actually good movie. Hell just drop the old cast and create something new. Oh well.
I was pleasantly surprised by this film.
I felt that it did the original trilogy justice, while also being an entertaining film.
It feels to me like the movie kind of wants to fail, thus deliberately sabotaging any future marketability it’s sequels might have, which is a cool postmodern take on the source material which inspired it. I think that’s cool as fuck lol
Up your standards
Yeah I think that's a cool move and a worthwhile goal, and I'm materially supporting the movie in this goal, mostly by not watching it and generally ignoring that it exists.
There's a great segment in "A Room Of One's Own" about how early women's art was unavoidably shaped by women's experience of patriarchy, and there wouldn't be truly great art by women until women got to a place of safety enough to make art that is not marked by their own trauma. I think about that a lot with "meta" art.
The end of last year was kinda weird - three nostalgia movies in a couple of months: Ghostbusters Afterlife, this, and No Way Home. Obviously, No Way Home was the best of the three, but all three clearly came from places of love for their originals, and did good jobs of answering "what happened next?" without making the entire movie be an epilogue.
And then Top Gun came out a few months ago and did it again.
As someone who absolutely loved this movie, I've been waiting forever to see your take on it. I remember when I finished watching the movie, I felt as astounded by the brilliance of what I watched. it was as comparable an experience to me as watching and seeing the art and brilliance that was Tenet. I was flabbergasted when I heard from a lot of people, they didn't like it.
Same! This movie both blew my mind and made me cry so many times throughout. Absolutely fantastic. My one criticism is that I felt the fight choreography/cinematography was pretty lacking. We know from John Wick that Keanu can still do the moves, so I was disappointed in the way the fights here were shot.
Despite that, Resurrection felt like a beautiful culmination of everything that came before it, while also being a hopeful look towards the future. I wish more folks liked it!
@@Arosukir6 I can completely agree with that criticism. I just rewatched the movie after I watched this video, and definitely felt say the weakness of the choreography. Many of the punches clearly don't land, and I think I saw a one of those inflatable llanding pads for stunts in a scene haha. But beyond that, the story told is phenomenal. I feel like I peeled just another layer off the onion in this rewatching.

The fight scenes literally ruined it for me. Fuckin' force punches everywhere, what is this, Dragonball? The movie was fine, but could have been amazing.
this movie is great and every time neo and trinity are trying to grab each others hands or having that discussion on the roof about how they think they're going to die together i get chills every time. my one criticism would be the action never felt on par.
8:24 and lines like this...straight up spitting in the face of anyone who says keanu is a bad actor.
I certainly like this one better than 2 or 3! By a lot, but that really says more about how bad the sequels are then how good Resurrections is.
2 and 3 actually had good action even tho the writing was goofy as sh*t. Resurrection's only positive is that they trolled WB hard
Yessss
I feel like I’m the only one who loved it
Thank you for doing this
Been a fan of yours for yeats
You're not the only one. Loved it as well.
Same here I liked the 4 matrix
You...are...not...alone.
We're a much larger group than we realize in loving this movie!
Same here
Was JUST talking about this movie not 2 hours ago and came on TH-cam to see you dropped this and I am very excited to hear your take on it as I... do not know where I land on it? It is a hard movie to place as I feel like it was more a meta-movie than an actual attempt at a Matrix sequel but it did the meta-stuff so well that it's good in that regard...? Either way, your insight on movies always gives me plenty to think about and I love it! So please keep up the amazing work and I am excited as all heck to see part 2!
This makes me feel just as much as the movie did. I don't know how this movie did everything so right, but it truly did. Additionally the sequence with White Rabbit could be seen as a metaphor for depression, or the longing of a trans person living in their non-trans body.
Matrix Regurgitations has no redeemable quality, bunch of garbage.
Would you please do an EGA about Speed Racer?
Why does this channel forever insist upon counting the bad things as "wins?" Like talking about how the different kick at ~1:18 is a cheap imitation of the original.... HOW/WHY DOES THAT DAMN BELL CHIME THIS IS NOT CINEMASINS
The truth is, sequel trilogies have never been and will probably never be good. If they do the same thing that's always been done but can't reach the peak of their predecessors, then they're just cheap imitations, but if they try anything different, they're too deviant and don't respect the fans. At least Matrix 4 TRIED to abuse that in its own favor.
Alot of people give this movie guff, but i thought it was pretty alright. Probably doesnt match the original trilogy, but good in its own right.
Edit: Btw id love to see you do Speed Racer some time. That movie is just *chefs kiss*
a lot of people said that 4 was a cash grab nostagia bait but I just love it a lot. It just has so much heart to it
It's cash grab nostalgia bait but it's the best cash grab nostalgia bait.
I think knowing that she created it in response to the loss of her parents and friend makes the whole thing more meaningful, particularly the ending.
when you said im pretty sure they're producers or matrix crew, the one in the glasses is the literal INVENTOR OF BULLETTIME. Frikin original matrix VFX supervisor MANNNNNNNNN
I was satisfied and shocked about how the movie ended. I’m just sorry to see how this film bombed at the box office, I just hope they make another one and really shock us with Hugo Weaving and Lawrence Fishburne.
Nah ultimately the point of the movie is that the crew didnt want to make the movie. The reason all the action has no choreography and is just rooms randomly exploding into rubble while characters casually float around is because action scenes require the most reshoots and time that they didnt want to spend on the movie. All the jabs at WB are just real life complaints they had and were publicly vocal about it seems like the directors purposely made the movie bomb so that WB couldnt force them to make another sequel. And ESPECIALLY after this matrix Hugo will without a doubt never return to the matrix
I think...well... That you're talking out of your ar$e
I am so interested in what you have to say about the text and some of the subtext of the film as a whole. To me it seems that it deals with trauma and loss and the idea of the idealized life and relationship in a really interesting way, and a lot of that kind of clicked into place during the Merovingian scene and with the uneasy alliance between neo-smith and neo, and how they both fought for what they understood to be real in that moment without regard to what might be “proper” (humans against machine). I felt it had a good statement on self-identity and self-affirmation and the rejection of a hurtful attempt at conformity. Definitely the best study into identity and mental health in my opinion, but that’s just how I read it at the time I saw it. I do need to rewatch it
Surprised there wasn’t a wind for “I Fly or I Fall” as a music track.
