    For me, first problem is the ending of the Matrix should have been "the" ending.

    The took the simple construct of the first film and twisted it into several convoluted subplots and the "ghosts" were so stupid it made the film unwatchable. The first film was interesting because of the story (even if it was lifted from somewhat from 1973s "World on a Wire") and that made the special effects and somewhat excessive action scenes acceptable.

    The second film should have been called "Even more Matrix action and shootouts loosely held together by a paper thin plot line."

    The entire Matrix universe is too open ended. If it has any rules I can't figure them out. That said it can go anywhere and make it up as it goes along which can be a weakness....

    I'm concerned the Wachovski brothers are just a bit "woke" and may infuse this one with all kinds of crap.

    Did ya see the latest Terminator? Ruined it for ever with woke BS....

    A “bit” woke? The Wachovski brothers are now the Wachovski sisters.

    I liked all three. My wife hates all three. Looking forward to this one. If its a bunch of woke sh*t, I'll be very disappointed.

    Like the machine gun auto-mats in Aliens…



    I like the super ninja/lightening fast moves of Neo. Before he becomes ‘all powerful’.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    Yes, I love my stompy mechs, and with a bazillion design ideas out there to pick from...they went with that... Ah, hollywood...


    As far as the new one:
    Blue-haired wammen with the horrible haircut will be the new Neo.
    Calling it now.
    Because everything is a gender/race-swap these days; pretty much required for all franchise reboots.

    The Wachovski sisters appear to be practicing Satanists.

    All of those movies fall apart if you go down that route. They are full of issues like that if you start asking Qs. The entire premise of humans as batteries can't work as you have to put in more energy to grow and maintain one than you'd get out, and on it goes. Take the red pill and you will not enjoy the Matrix.
