I haven’t seen the fourth, but I don’t think that the second and third movies were that bad. It wasn’t Phantom Menace for Star Wars, where the movie just targeted a completely different demographic.
Smith: Things have changed. The market’s tough. I’m sure you can understand why our beloved parent company, Warner Brothers, has decided to make a sequel to the trilogy.
Neo: What?
Smith: They informed me they’re gonna to do it with or without us.
Neo: I thought they couldn’t do that?
Smith: Oh, they can, and they made it clear they would kill our contract if we didn’t cooperate.
Everything you need to know about the movie. I strongly suspect that Lana Wachowski deliberately made the movie as dogshit as she could plausibly get away with so as to properly kill the franchise once and for all, or at least until she’s dead and someone else can try to pick up the pieces and reboot the whole thing in a few decades.
I also didn’t think the 2nd & 3rd were that bad.
There’s no such thing as the 4th movie though unless you count the parody movie pretending to be a sequel.
I enjoyed the 4th a lot more than the 2nd and the 3rd movies. They just felt bloated and pretentious. However, with the 4th I felt that the last act was completely unnecessary. I was so bored by the action and I thought it would have been much better if they had found a way to end the movie without such a large action set piece.
