... but it was neither. The trilogy goes down in ratings from the first movie. I remember enjoying all three and having no particular complaints about any of them.
This was one of a handful of movies I stopped watching half way through to come and write a scathing review.
I did a similar thing after trying to sit through "The Secret", after a friend wrongly told me that would change my life.
By the middle of this movie, I couldn't believe it at all. The acting is cardboard. The music doesn't work. The plot and dialogue make little sense and aren't interesting. As many have pointed out, these reboot films usually fail. Bill and Ted's was similar; why dig up something classic that people loved, carry on with the same characters, but decades later, and write a sub-par story that fails as a sequel, and for many, ruins the experience of watching all of them, making them wish they'd avoided the reboot. I have no interest in seeing how this shocking movie ends. Nothing about the story thus far, the cinematography, etc., make me want to continue.
Another reviewer wrote that this movie makes you wonder if the writers had stolen the original Matrix script. I have to concur. How can the writers be so much worse after years more experience?
Sad.
