THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS Star Keanu Reeves Is "In" For Fifth Movie, But Doesn't Think It'll Happen

@ElricReturns - I mean, it's not much of an f u to the film industry when it's doing exactly what it's criticizing them for doing.

@Origame - but u think that was the while point. The film is a joke. I mean, were not hailing it as a masterpiece of any kind. More of a statement. I mean the RLM guys are clowning on the film most of the review, it's not like some triumph. It's interesting to pick apart and analyze, it's a curiosity of a film more than anything lol

@ElricReturns - yeah they definitely had my thoughts to a T. It's a fascinating movie, and I love the ingenuity, and meta and some really interesting concepts, but yeah it's a mess

@Origame - man, you're so close. That's the experiment of what this movie is. They were gonna make it with or without Lana, so she half assed the film and made it basically satire of itself, they literally bluntly tell the audience why this movie exists, and shouldn't exist, but is being forced to exist! So instead of letting this sequel become a Jurassic World or a The Force Awakens or a Total Recall, Lana like a savage took over her own franchise like a pirate, turned the ship around and crashed it back into the docks. That's bad ass.

If you can't see the self sabatoge angle of this entry, you won't get why it's cool. Beyond that, I don't know how else to explain it to you. Maybe it's just not the film for you.

@Feralwookiee - well the movie agrees with you, Lana agrees it has no reason to exist, that was her point. WB was going to make this a blatant cash grab, a product manufactured for profit and no heart or artistic direction aside from half ass attempts at a plot only ment to manufacture nostalgia (:cough: Spiderman No Way Home :cough: highest grossing cash nostalgia cash grab of 2021 :cough: 14th highest grossing movie all time :cough:) with or without Lana. She didn't have a say, that was happening anyway. She saw an opportunity to make a statement out of it. That's dope.

You are angry at the studios bullshit at placing that on Lana and the creative. 2 different entities. Lana took the reigns and turned their blatant cash grab into, not only a parody of the film industry, but she also tanked the film and probably ended or limited WBs chances to use their creation to print money.

@Origame - I mean it literally was. It literally parodied itself, and figuratively. The whole thing was self aware and also self depricating.

@ElricReturns - Please don't project or put words in my mouth. I'm not angry about anything. As I wrote earlier, I was never even a fan of the originals, so I have no emotional attachment to this franchise at all. It's just my opinion.

The excuse of "studio X was going to make and taint my creation anyway, so I might as well destroy it on purpose myself" is laughably moronic imo. It just feels similar to a psycho who says "if I can't have you, no one else will!" Lol

Wouldn't the smarter and classier thing for the director to have done is refuse to make any movie at all and when WB made a "Matrix" movie without her, she comes out and says "I have nothing to do with this movie and it does not reflect my creative vision for the Matrix or the franchise. F**k WB."

THAT would actually be punk.

Instead, she tried to have her cake and eat it too, while shitting on the studio,the franchise, and the fans who made her millions with an "intentionally bad" movie because supposedly WB was gonna go on without her? Seems more like a spoiled douchebag move to me more than anything.

@ElricReturns - I wouldn't consider either of the Wachowski's "artists", but like I said, imo intentionally shitting on what made you a millionare is a douchebag move. I never called Wachowski a douchebag as I obviously don't know her personally.

As far as new years; time is just a man made construct to control production. The date changing on a calendar means nothing. Expect more of the same.

@Origame - but literally everything you just said is colored by your opinion. My opinion is being fair, it was way above decent and was fun to watch. It wasn't what I wanted or expected either. But you can't say it was a bad film or not fun to watch for everyone, that's not true.

@Jstreet - ...are you seriously correcting us for using the pronoun Lana prefers? Well I'm gonna continue to respect what she wants to call herself. You want to call her "him" and "he", then fine. But telling us to do so? Well you can f@#$ off.

@regularmovieguy - That it'll be an interesting article.

@Doomsday8888

Yeah, I’d dig another Superman with Cavill but I think it’s pretty clear they’re going to do what they’re doing with Superman with Batman. At least trying a new standalone rake.
