"When audiences walked out of the theater in 1999 after seeing The Matrix, they actually started questioning reality. It made us think." That says more about audiences than the movie, really...
The Matrix is my favourite film ever. Resurrections was truly an abomination of a movie. If I wanted to make a film to completely destroy any semblance of credibility the Matrix series ever had, Resurrections is the film I would make. I hate it with every fibre of my being.
I thought it was better then the original. I also think Larry Wachowski becoming Lana Wachowski made her a much better director. Trans people are just better at everything.
This movie crushed my soul. There is zero chance that any Matrix fan feels anything but disappointment and disbelief here. In fact, this movie makes me feel like cinema peaked a while ago and we are all out of greatness.
Maybe we should let go of original films and stop expecting sequels. Once upon a time, decades ago, you never saw a sequel. Until the era of Star Wars, Jaws, etc. Except the Bond films, and those were very hit or miss.
That made me so miserable and annoyed watching these lame fight scenes like I could watch the fight scene in Matrix Reloaded (first half of it) and that scene is way better than the trash of Resurrection's
The Matrix Regurtation is what this piece of sh*t should have been called. Neo never shoots a single gun an just blocks/deflects the entire run time. I think Keanu Reeves an Carrie-Anne Moss are amazing, but this movie did them dirty. F**k this film!!!!
John Wick is actually the continuation of the Matrix. It was created to keep Neo busy. That explains why all the bystanders are so relaxed with the gunplay.
I honestly think Keanu is such a genuine guy that he came back to help out the casting as if you dig into it.. WB wanted a ANOTHER sequel for YEARS. They eventually got ONE of the Wachowski bros/sisters… to finally give in.. and ironically it seems it was INTENTIONALLY messed up on purpose. In the sense that WB said they were making another instalment with or without the original directors and cast, including the fight choreographer (which STILL didn't return - evidently) … so it was like “ ok, if you stfu I’ll make this one more movie, but audiences will hate it and we are going to make it align heavily with our values(woke)” … and that’s exactly what we got. I truly believe this is what happened.
You forgot to mention that Carrie Anne's character Tiffany (Trinity) is married to Chad because he's actually Chad Stahelski, (another Meta reference) and was actually Keanu's stunt double in the original Matrix movies and the director of the John Wick films. He was also the body double for Brandon Lee's Eric Draven in The Crow film.
I met Carrie at a comic con. She's super sweet. I had her sign the reloaded poster of her. Because I wanted her signature on the last good matrix movie ever made. 😆
Yeah, the W siblings never wanted the movie to have follow ups, yet Warner kept pushing. Even when her father died they kept pushing. Then they said they would make it with or without her.
I believe this 100%. I bet returning actors were told whats up too. I think the start of the movie is meant to show how it feels to be strong armed into making a sequel that is far past due and unneeded. The movie itself is also exactly the type of sequel to tank any hope of a sequel. Leaving only a reboot on the table. This should but the sisters time to outlive any crap reboots 😂
At this point the question has to be what franchise HASN'T been wrecked since 2017? The only.ones I can think of are John Wick and Top Gun. You know they're just itching to replace John with a girl boss at this point and as soon as Tom Cruise retires...Top Gun: Mary Sue, goes into production. The daugjter Mavrick didn't know he had. She's a better pilot and better with the ladies than he could have ever been. 😂
@@badism8369 Have you seen the Rings of Power? Are you sure about THAT? Are you sure adding an emoji like a 13 yr old makes your comment better? Asking for a friend…
It speaks volumes that I know this movie exists, and I know that at one point, I sat through it. Yet I don't remember a single thing about it. "Ignorance is bliss."
I've never seen it and I don't intend to. Actually, the first Matrix is the only one I consider a true representation of what this franchise was meant to be. The rest I don't care for.
Well, the first makes almost complete sense within itself. The sequels change how I view the whole setting. After the sequels, I now don't think we ever saw a real person or the real world. Ever.
I went see this at the cinema and at the end I said to my girlfriend quite loud "that was terrible!" And the guy next to me started laughing and nodding, I then said "we've got to get out now cuz I can't listen to this version of wake up" and I walked out with my hands over my ears 😅😅😅
Yeah it was horrible. Thank you for being honest bro. Alot of people are delusional and lying to themselves for not understanding or admitting how bad this shit was... hilarious review sir 😂

I tried to watch the matrix with my daughter and right before the story really kicks off whe morpheus offers him the pills she asked me if we could watch something else and said she was bored. I was pretty heartbroken. Maybe when she's a bit older I'll try again.
When I watched the matrix for the first time. I was like how is this popular and forgot about the movie. However when I watched clips on UA-cam that got me intrigued again and then I watched the movie for a second time. I appreciated the movie so much more. It happens with me, when I watched inception and interstellar for the first time. I didn't care for it. Second time, I realise these films are masterpieces.
I watched this on streaming recently. It took me two nights to slog through it. Tough watch. I feel very much like "contractually obligated" is a slap in the face to fans. I get the situation with WB, but either say "no" and walk away or buckle down and write/cast/make a legitimate effort. But if we're honest, the Matrix franchise was 1 great movie, some spectacular lore and a few interesting scenes spread across 3 more films a video game and "The Animatrix" 😕
The Matrix franchise died with its finale in 2003 (Revolutions). While certainly flawed, it’s an ending that works for me and there was no need to bring it back. Also it should have been a stand alone film without sequels
While this movie was not good I'm still happy it was made. I'm a huge matrix stan but I absolutely hated the way the trilogy ended. At least this one gave a decent amount of closure to that story...open ended but still closure
This is a small gesture for you enduring this abomination. You warned of an all out war on this film and you have emerged victorious. You are the chosen one!
So about the action in "The Matrix Resurrections." The reason why the action was so bad in it compared to the first 3 The Matrix movies is because the first 3 Matrix movies had one man involved that was not involved in "The Matrix Resurrections": Yuen Wo Ping. Yuen Wo Ping, a renowned action filmmaker from Hong Kong, played the central role in shaping the action sequences of the original trilogy. Contrary to some misconceptions spread by certain UA-cam commentators, it was Yuen Wo Ping, not the directors and choreographers of the John Wick series, who orchestrated the action in the original Matrix trilogy. Yuen Wo Ping, known as one of the greatest action filmmakers in film history, was the mastermind behind those iconic action scenes. For whatever reason, he was not brought back for "The Matrix Resurrections" and that is why the action scenes suffered so much. Yuen Wo Ping's influence extends far beyond The Matrix series. In the late 70s, he made his directorial debut with two martial arts films starring Jackie Chan - "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow" and "Drunken Master" - which were instrumental in launching Chan's movie career into stardom. Additionally, Yuen Wo Ping discovered Donnie Yen in the 80s and mentored him in action filmmaking. Donnie Yen, famous for his role as Ip Man in the Ip Man movies and known by general audiences in the West as Chirrut in Rogue One and Caine in John Wick 4, learned all of his action filmmaking craft under Yuen Wo Ping's guidance. And that's not all. He also served as the action director and choreographer for Jet Li's "Once Upon A Time In China" movies, which propelled Jet Li to stardom in Asia. Furthermore, he worked on "Fist of Legend," a remake of Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury," which not only is one of Jet Li's best movies but also caught the attention of the Wachowski siblings when they were seeking an action director for "The Matrix." It is "Fist of Legend" that convinced them to get Yuen Wo Ping. In fact, there's a little easter egg in "The Matrix Resurrections" around the 24-minute mark. In the middle of that montage of Keanu Reeves speaking with the other video game developers, Reeves is seen doing some martial arts in his apartment before falling down. Well, while he's doing that there is a movie playing on his TV in the background. That movie is "Fist of Legend"! It's an obvious tribute to Yuen, considering his work on the first 3 Matrix films. Though it is a bit ironic that they snuck his movie in there, but didn't bring him back to work on this new installment. As you can see, Yuen Wo Ping's influence on action cinema runs deep, but it's a shame that his name isn't on everyone's lips more often. The people responsible for John Wick learned what they know working under Yuen Woo Ping's guidance while doing on "The Matrix" trilogy, carrying that expertise forward to create their own movies like John Wick. People should know who he is because Yuen Wo Ping is not only the reason why the action in the first 3 Matrix movies were of high quality, but also the quality of his work throughout the decades launched the careers of action greats like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen and also greatly influenced and inspired countless action filmmakers from the East to the West. It is essential to recognize and appreciate his contributions to the industry, as countless action directors and stars, from East to West, owe him a big "thank you" for his work and inspiration. The man's name is Yuen Wo Ping. So please, know his name. He deserves the gratitude and respect.
In all honesty I think Lana Wachowski did The Matrix: Resurrections terrible on purpose. It was pretty much a giant middle finger at Warner Brothers. But a what cost?
Still, what she should have done was refuse to do it, instead of using us as guinea pigs for her pathetic rant towards Warner. She should never be allowed to direct a movie before going to a goddamn therapist
Have you heard the theory that it was made to be terrible because the wachowski’s knew Wb was gonna make a new matrix with or without them and they felt the story was done so they put this out as a meta commentary on Hollywood’s inability to innovate anymore and as a way to make sure Wb doesn’t see the matrix as a series as worth resurrecting
@@EricSciarine-yc6znHe didn't NEED a gun in 2 and 3. Here, he doesn't have his uber-kung fu or his super Saiyan flying (RIP btw). All he's got is that hadouken Force push thing. A gun would have REEEALLY been useful... Especially since Keanu, himself, is even better with firearms now than he was in the OG Matrices.
The Matrix was always about the schizophrenic post-modern condition. You have a boring, pointless daytime life and an exciting, meaningful nighttime life. The fantasy of the the Matrix is, holy shit, the exciting, meaningful fantasy life is actually the real life! Not only that, the boring, pointless daytime life can be taken over and controlled by the fantasy life! None of the sequels grasp why the first movie was so appealing. Especially to post-modern people, with our ennui and malaise and other French words.
Fun fact. Sophia Boutela from Brass Aggainst the machine who did Wake up, pissed on a fan during the concert. So I guess the song was logical choice for the "director" .
It just lacked everything. It lacked action, storytelling, sound design, poor casting, made for a tv feel, zero bullet time, budget driven, poor twists, poor nods, poor script, poor meta analysis (that really made no sense)… It was too worries about making statements about trans, sexuality and society using subliminal imagery and a story about mirror images. The director is clearly making metaphorical statements about his/her personal journey and experiences since becoming Trans. This film should of been a film noir detective investigation story ( similar to the Animatrix short), a prequel about an investigation into weird occurrences that start to push a detective into rabbit hole investigation that leads him towards becoming the first AI to discover the matrix but is being hunted by the 1st incarnation of the agents whilst being helped by a mysterious woman. No Neo, no trinity, no Morpheus… just a new story.
I hate when they ruin a good set of movies for a cash grab like what they did to the terminator franchise. I mean how bad this part of the franchise is and since they changed the main characters maybe bc they knew it was gonna be trash, the only other thing that would make it worse is if they would've put a different actor as Neo bc Keanu should've seen or prob knew it was gonna be garbage but i guess sometimes ppl will do anything for money.
I'm glad I'm not a movie reviewer because I really enjoyed not going to this movie. :) Your rant is definitely more entertaining than that trashfire of a film.
The wachowski brothers made fantastic cinema with the original matrix movies, The wachowski sisters made a follow up film that no one ever asked for or wanted, to be honest I'm amazed they managed to get Keanu to sign up for it .
There's more than a lot of evidence that the brothers stole the original screenplay from a un copyrighted writer who was trying to sell it. That would explain why the first movie was great and the other three were more or less carbon copies. I just have to laugh at the climatic scene when the people are hurtling out the windows as if they were trying to escape the movie.
This video taught me how much movies can impact people. You and your relationship with the Matrix and with your children. That was nice and they shouldnt watch a movie that was made with such disrespect.
It really is that bad. So is almost everything else but damn, I really expected something like The Matrix to avoid the modern day butchering of old franchises trend. When I left the theatre, it was just like yea, I should have known better. I don't even know what they were trying to go for with this flick. It deserved much better treatment than what it got. But I don't care what anyone says about it, The Matrix: Path of Neo, on ps2 and OG Xbox was fire.
I lost track of the number of times I watched The Matrix. Did not like the second because it felt like they focused on looong fight choreography and less time on the story. The third was brutally complicated and the ending felt emotionally like the ending for Lost. I was really excited and hyped about the trailer for the 4th but wished I had skipped it. The concept could've worked but the story turned out to be a hot mess with a reboot of almost every beloved character. I'm sure someone will try to milk a 5th movie.
Unless you guys don't know, the 4th movie was made bad on purpose with 2 goals. First goal - to make sure it flops and it will be impossible to be turned and milked into sequels. And it delivered quite well on that. Second was an extensive social commentary on the world we live in where nothing is original anymore and everything is a remake of something else, good or bad. Not only movies and games, but now even ads as well. NPH actually lays it all out in a very subtle, but genius way by mentioning "The Suits". It was actually a very cool way of giving the middle finger to the entire industry. This is the biggest key as to why The Matrix 2.0 is so much lamer, why it doesn't have fancy CGI or complex fighting sequences, which defined the original. You can see that even in the way both The Architect and The Analyst speak - one talks almost with human passion about his desire to achieve equilibrium of a chaotic mathematical equation, solving the anomaly, while the other is there with one purpose only - to generate as high of a profit as possible. Just like in real world, film making and game developing are no longer driven by passion, but obsession over money and profit. They are being made not by directors, but by accountants. We see this everywhere - studios cutting corners, trying everything to reduce costs, not allowing the creators enough time to perfect their products, pushing the latest trendy agenda to ride the hype wave... all of that with the sole purpose of increasing profit. Back in the movie, It's even visible in the art-style of the new Matrix 2.0. While the original was cold toned and had very clinical, very sterile feel to it, the new one is using all kinds of filters with turned on VIVID mode. The color saturation is off the charts, which is again how movies are made now days - plenty of eye-candy, but absolutely nothing of value underneath that. No good story, no goo character development, just cheap effects and colors in a pointless attempt to distract the mind from that fact it's being occupied dealing with absolute garbage. This movie is beyond meta. If you go back watching it with that in mind, that it's made bad on purpose, almost every single scene and i mean really like 99% of the scenes in this movie have something to comment on the modern state of the industry and start to make sense. Why Agent Smith was recast, why Morpheus acts completely out of character, why Neo doesn't have his powers, why Niobe acted in such cowardly manner, why we were only shown a glimpse of a great content which could've been with the machines fighting one another, replacing the agents with bots, lack of bullet-time, mirrors hacking, social media, human interaction, agendas. Absolutely every single scene is pointing out what's wrong with out modern day content creation and consumption. That's why when i left the theatre after watching the movie i had my mind blown almost like the first time i watched the original, when it made me question my very existence.
I could feel your pain on this one Adam. This movie is just another example of why I won't go to see movies anymore without first getting a heads up from my favorite reviewers.
I used the new enhanced audio feature for Premiere Pro. Do you like it better or worse? I think it sounds much better but I also don't know shit about anything.
The girlbros should've let other people direct and write the sequels. After the first Matrix, the movies all got progressively worse. But I do like the Animatrix because it didn't feel like a sequel. It was a fresh take.
The Matrix WAS my all time favourite action/sci-fi/thriller movies of all time. I loved the sequel, the 3rd one not so much, it almost followed in the footsteps of how Star Wars was, with ROTJ being the weakest, but still had some great moments. This film however, my god. I remember seeing the trailer and thinking, hoping, this looks good, they wouldn't possibly bring this back with one of the original creators to shit all over it. Seriously FML and this film, it was a trial getting through this and I've only watched it once, I could not believe how bad it was. Is this Seriously where we are now, if anything, this is a confirmation along with all of the other trash out there that Hollywood and the film industry as a whole have totally lost the ability to make a good movie. These are sad times when all you can do to find entertainment greatness is look back and not forwards.
I couldn't even finish this movie and I'm someone who enjoyed the trilogy very much. After falling asleep an hour into it the first time and then falling asleep again 30 minutes later the second time, picking up from where I left off, I just gave up on finishing the movie. Truly disappointing for those who liked or loved the trilogy. Great rant Adam! Very entertaining as always.
I actually watched it in theaters with my friend on Christmas because of Keanu Reeves and there not being anything else I wanted to see in theaters at the time. Neither of us had seen any of the last 3 movies in years. I got really confused during the part about the Frenchman because I had completely forgotten that he was a thing.
The biggest problem with Resurrections is not that it's just a bad movie. It is an offensive movie. It is an insult to all that came before (yes, even the original sequels!), and a middle finger to fans. The W Twin responsible for this abomination should retire in shame. Other than that... 😂
I've made few great choices in my life: 1. Merry my boarding school sweetheart 2. Have two beautiful children with her 3. Being an early investor in bitcoin 4. Not watching this movie
I don't know why it took me so long to find this review plus your original if I had finished the movie I'm sure I would have had the exact experience I look forward to watching other reviews
I honestly think Keanu is such a genuine guy that he came back to help out the casting as if you dig into it.. WB wanted a ANOTHER sequel for YEARS. They eventually got ONE of the Wachowski bros/sisters… to finally give in.. and ironically it seems it was INTENTIONALLY messed up on purpose.

I truly believe this is what happened.
When you shamed your daughters by looking at the floor boards about how the movie sucked and then top of that told them how to watch it on HBO...I mean are just trying horrify them to sleep or your kids are scared to make you cry watching a movie that traumatized you. You could crush their Legos and step up on them.
Two things about this film: I can’t remember any character names. Not a single one. Wachowski is a walking stereotype. As a guy created something special. As a trans woman…🤷🏼♂️
Its poetic that the first video of yours I ever saw was the original roast of Matrix: Retarded, like 3 years back. I have watched countless hours of your channel since then! And here we are, back where we started, with this utter piece of shit movie... this insult to Matrix fans. This review had me loling as always, thank you Adam for the amazing content !!
fun fact: a week before the movie was release a bunch of behind the scenes screens came out for publicity stunts on different youtube channels (made for the movie in some cases) where the wachoski director and actors will actually confess to the camera that the movie was bad on purpose - most noticeably the director confessing "she just wanted to tell a story where she could revive neo and trinity because their parents died and she could not revive them on real life" and "now the matrix is inclusive having 2 choosen ones, of both biological genders (and implied that neo and trinity are bi and pansexual checking many boxes) then jada pinkett smith adding that "the only logical option was to have her character (witch was a disposable add on on the sequels) to become the ruler of the new city I/O just because she is black, female and nobody tells her what to do" even the guy that did the merovingian with shame told "its a new spin, now my character is a joke of what a capitalist will be in the future world after inclusivity and socialism takes over in the real world" so all the capitalists in the world will become insane homeless people. just like in the soviet union with the aristocrats. lovely. those videos 2 days after, and most of the channels where deleted. i guess WB pick them up for some lawsuit to the director, since she destroyed the franchise because WB told her they will be making a sequel "with or without her" involved at all.
It wasn't Matrix Resurrections, it was as you said Matrix Regurgitations (that was exactly what I said to my friend as well after watching lol). The story was shit, boring characters with the film trying to hopelessly relive the trilogy's glory days. And to make matters worse, even the fight scenes which should have at least been moderately entertaining was totally uninspiring. In the end, I refuse to accept this film as canon.
The best thing about this movie is not remembering it 10 minutes after finishing it.
Woah.
I remember a coffee shop....... and..... uh.... a roofless apartment.... and maybe...... no there was totally a motorcycle somewhere in the movie.
Laurence Fishburne being denied to reprise his role was in fact mercy from the director.
Truly
When audiences walked out of the theater in 1999 after seeing The Matrix, they actually started questioning reality. It made us think. It forced us to question our preconceived ideas of the world. Bravo Hollywood. They are capable of making great films. They just forgot how.
Movies still make us think, but now what we're thinking is, "Is Hollywood necessary?"
It's because they are hiring people based on ideology instead of how good they are at their job, these people fail upwards nowadays
They didn’t forget, they actively decided to focus on ideology rather than merit.
I don’t think I finished watching this movie. It was a horrible experience watching this pile of poop.
"When audiences walked out of the theater in 1999 after seeing The Matrix, they actually started questioning reality. It made us think."
That says more about audiences than the movie, really...
The Matrix is my favourite film ever. Resurrections was truly an abomination of a movie. If I wanted to make a film to completely destroy any semblance of credibility the Matrix series ever had, Resurrections is the film I would make. I hate it with every fibre of my being.

I’ve never watched Resurrections and probably never will. I think my life will be much happier trying to pretend it doesn’t exist…

It was unwatchable. Its not even fun to roast mercilessly. I think adam is the only person on earth who remembers that it exists.
Unfortunately this trash has its fans out there
When I heard the name Bugs and unseen the blue hair, " disaster" was written on the wall
I thought it was better then the original. I also think Larry Wachowski becoming Lana Wachowski made her a much better director. Trans people are just better at everything.
@@jjones9822 hahaha 👍
This movie crushed my soul. There is zero chance that any Matrix fan feels anything but disappointment and disbelief here. In fact, this movie makes me feel like cinema peaked a while ago and we are all out of greatness.
I say all the time that they stopped making good movies permanently in 2012.
It was ' " Last Jedi" " Return of Palpatine"...
Maybe we should let go of original films and stop expecting sequels. Once upon a time, decades ago, you never saw a sequel. Until the era of Star Wars, Jaws, etc. Except the Bond films, and those were very hit or miss.
Agreed
It's amazing how many people still defend this movie and the wacko brothers.
The Unreal Engine Demo of the Matrix was actually better than the entire film.
The worst offense is the piss poor martial arts. All they had to do was properly film good choreography and they did the opposite.
That made me so miserable and annoyed watching these lame fight scenes like I could watch the fight scene in Matrix Reloaded (first half of it) and that scene is way better than the trash of Resurrection's
All the more bizarre is that Reeves has been Matrixing for years as Wick.
Because Yuen Woo Ping wasn’t involved…..
Yes! The fight scenes did suck.
You mean you guys didn't like the invisible hand power thing John Wick keeps doing instead of some actual fight scenes? /s
If any one should roast The Matrix Resurrections, it should be Adam. He can really channel the disgust we all felt after leaving the theater.
You watched it in the theatre!?!?!?!
@@timboslice9905I’m saying, I saw this on my laptop on clear bootleg, there was no way I was wasting my money on this
I just wasted my time
The Matrix Regurtation is what this piece of sh*t should have been called. Neo never shoots a single gun an just blocks/deflects the entire run time. I think Keanu Reeves an Carrie-Anne Moss are amazing, but this movie did them dirty. F**k this film!!!!
Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Regurgitats
Lawrence Fishborne dodged a bullet by not appearing in this film.
John Wick is actually the continuation of the Matrix. It was created to keep Neo busy. That explains why all the bystanders are so relaxed with the gunplay.
Ha this is a great plot
And why he hasn't died.
ok this is good
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS! They did my boy Morpheus so dirty. And don't even get me started on Agent Smith 😢
Yes!! How does Goff get ANY work!! ??? He’s a bland vanilla fool! His only redeeming quality and personality trait is he’s gay. That’s IT!!
Fantastic rant. I can't believe that Keanu Reaves would ever agree to this be in this trash. Hollywood needs to stop ruining people's childhood.
I honestly think Keanu is such a genuine guy that he came back to help out the casting as if you dig into it.. WB wanted a ANOTHER sequel for YEARS. They eventually got ONE of the Wachowski bros/sisters… to finally give in.. and ironically it seems it was INTENTIONALLY messed up on purpose.

I truly believe this is what happened.
That's probably why Lawrence skip it
I think Lawrence said they didn't invite him back
_“no…”_
*_”not like diss..”_*
I can see there was work put into this and it shows. Easily one of your best videos.
Thank you!
You forgot to mention that Carrie Anne's character Tiffany (Trinity) is married to Chad because he's actually Chad Stahelski, (another Meta reference) and was actually Keanu's stunt double in the original Matrix movies and the director of the John Wick films. He was also the body double for Brandon Lee's Eric Draven in The Crow film.
I met Carrie at a comic con. She's super sweet. I had her sign the reloaded poster of her. Because I wanted her signature on the last good matrix movie ever made. 😆
The last great Matrix movie.
Revolutions is good but flawed. I will die on this hill
I still maintain the Wachowski sister made it terrible on purpose so WB wouldn't try another sequel ever again.
Yeah, the W siblings never wanted the movie to have follow ups, yet Warner kept pushing. Even when her father died they kept pushing.
Then they said they would make it with or without her.
Either way, it's total shit.
I believe this 100%. I bet returning actors were told whats up too. I think the start of the movie is meant to show how it feels to be strong armed into making a sequel that is far past due and unneeded. The movie itself is also exactly the type of sequel to tank any hope of a sequel. Leaving only a reboot on the table. This should but the sisters time to outlive any crap reboots 😂
real talk you know the way bro haha
This is mentioned in The Matrix Resurrection
At this point the question has to be what franchise HASN'T been wrecked since 2017?
The only.ones I can think of are John Wick and Top Gun.
You know they're just itching to replace John with a girl boss at this point and as soon as Tom Cruise retires...Top Gun: Mary Sue, goes into production. The daugjter Mavrick didn't know he had. She's a better pilot and better with the ladies than he could have ever been. 😂
Lord of the rings, harry Potter
Mad Max
@@michaelrench1449Lord of the Rings has been DESTROYED are you crazy?
@@gagelindell271 Ummm, you sure about that? 🤣
@@badism8369 Have you seen the Rings of Power? Are you sure about THAT? Are you sure adding an emoji like a 13 yr old makes your comment better? Asking for a friend…
It speaks volumes that I know this movie exists, and I know that at one point, I sat through it.
Yet I don't remember a single thing about it.
"Ignorance is bliss."
Was that a Cypher reference? 😂
I got up and left about 40 minutes in. I was actually insulted. I couldn’t stand for it. Or sit, I just went to bed.
I've never seen it and I don't intend to. Actually, the first Matrix is the only one I consider a true representation of what this franchise was meant to be. The rest I don't care for.
Finally, a man with some intelligence! Bravo sir.
Well, the first makes almost complete sense within itself. The sequels change how I view the whole setting.
After the sequels, I now don't think we ever saw a real person or the real world. Ever.
I agree, The Matrix never should've had any sequels.
I did enjoy the second Matrix. But you could tell it was going south FAST!
I went see this at the cinema and at the end I said to my girlfriend quite loud "that was terrible!" And the guy next to me started laughing and nodding, I then said "we've got to get out now cuz I can't listen to this version of wake up" and I walked out with my hands over my ears 😅😅😅
It was disgusting 😢
Yeah it was horrible. Thank you for being honest bro. Alot of people are delusional and lying to themselves for not understanding or admitting how bad this shit was... hilarious review sir 😂

For me the Matrix is a stand alone masterpiece . All of the sequels were trash for me. 🤷🏻♂️
2 and 3 are good
I tried to watch the matrix with my daughter and right before the story really kicks off whe morpheus offers him the pills she asked me if we could watch something else and said she was bored. I was pretty heartbroken. Maybe when she's a bit older I'll try again.
When I watched the matrix for the first time. I was like how is this popular and forgot about the movie. However when I watched clips on UA-cam that got me intrigued again and then I watched the movie for a second time. I appreciated the movie so much more. It happens with me, when I watched inception and interstellar for the first time. I didn't care for it. Second time, I realise these films are masterpieces.
I watched this on streaming recently. It took me two nights to slog through it. Tough watch. I feel very much like "contractually obligated" is a slap in the face to fans. I get the situation with WB, but either say "no" and walk away or buckle down and write/cast/make a legitimate effort. But if we're honest, the Matrix franchise was 1 great movie, some spectacular lore and a few interesting scenes spread across 3 more films a video game and "The Animatrix" 😕
First Matrix movie is "The One" (and only)
Thanks! This was an epic rant. Keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
The Matrix franchise died with its finale in 2003 (Revolutions). While certainly flawed, it’s an ending that works for me and there was no need to bring it back.
Also it should have been a stand alone film without sequels
While this movie was not good I'm still happy it was made. I'm a huge matrix stan but I absolutely hated the way the trilogy ended. At least this one gave a decent amount of closure to that story...open ended but still closure
No idea who u r. Randomly stumbled upon this video. Your funny. I like you. Subscribing.
This is a small gesture for you enduring this abomination. You warned of an all out war on this film and you have emerged victorious. You are the chosen one!
As always, much appreciated. Thanks, Bryan!
So about the action in "The Matrix Resurrections." The reason why the action was so bad in it compared to the first 3 The Matrix movies is because the first 3 Matrix movies had one man involved that was not involved in "The Matrix Resurrections": Yuen Wo Ping.
Yuen Wo Ping, a renowned action filmmaker from Hong Kong, played the central role in shaping the action sequences of the original trilogy. Contrary to some misconceptions spread by certain UA-cam commentators, it was Yuen Wo Ping, not the directors and choreographers of the John Wick series, who orchestrated the action in the original Matrix trilogy. Yuen Wo Ping, known as one of the greatest action filmmakers in film history, was the mastermind behind those iconic action scenes. For whatever reason, he was not brought back for "The Matrix Resurrections" and that is why the action scenes suffered so much.
Yuen Wo Ping's influence extends far beyond The Matrix series. In the late 70s, he made his directorial debut with two martial arts films starring Jackie Chan - "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow" and "Drunken Master" - which were instrumental in launching Chan's movie career into stardom. Additionally, Yuen Wo Ping discovered Donnie Yen in the 80s and mentored him in action filmmaking. Donnie Yen, famous for his role as Ip Man in the Ip Man movies and known by general audiences in the West as Chirrut in Rogue One and Caine in John Wick 4, learned all of his action filmmaking craft under Yuen Wo Ping's guidance.
And that's not all. He also served as the action director and choreographer for Jet Li's "Once Upon A Time In China" movies, which propelled Jet Li to stardom in Asia. Furthermore, he worked on "Fist of Legend," a remake of Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury," which not only is one of Jet Li's best movies but also caught the attention of the Wachowski siblings when they were seeking an action director for "The Matrix." It is "Fist of Legend" that convinced them to get Yuen Wo Ping. In fact, there's a little easter egg in "The Matrix Resurrections" around the 24-minute mark. In the middle of that montage of Keanu Reeves speaking with the other video game developers, Reeves is seen doing some martial arts in his apartment before falling down. Well, while he's doing that there is a movie playing on his TV in the background. That movie is "Fist of Legend"! It's an obvious tribute to Yuen, considering his work on the first 3 Matrix films. Though it is a bit ironic that they snuck his movie in there, but didn't bring him back to work on this new installment.
As you can see, Yuen Wo Ping's influence on action cinema runs deep, but it's a shame that his name isn't on everyone's lips more often. The people responsible for John Wick learned what they know working under Yuen Woo Ping's guidance while doing on "The Matrix" trilogy, carrying that expertise forward to create their own movies like John Wick.
People should know who he is because Yuen Wo Ping is not only the reason why the action in the first 3 Matrix movies were of high quality, but also the quality of his work throughout the decades launched the careers of action greats like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen and also greatly influenced and inspired countless action filmmakers from the East to the West. It is essential to recognize and appreciate his contributions to the industry, as countless action directors and stars, from East to West, owe him a big "thank you" for his work and inspiration.
The man's name is Yuen Wo Ping. So please, know his name. He deserves the gratitude and respect.
This rant is sweet sweet music to my ears. Got damn I hate that movie, it feels good to hear you articulate it so well
Your original resurrections review was how I found your channel.
Same!
I get the feeling they were told make another or they would get someone else would make a new one.
Its funny people think he made this movie bad on purpose.
The only good thing I can tell about the new Matrix film is that I was high while watching and I fortunately don't remember much of it.
In all honesty I think Lana Wachowski did The Matrix: Resurrections terrible on purpose.
It was pretty much a giant middle finger at Warner Brothers.
But a what cost?
Still, what she should have done was refuse to do it, instead of using us as guinea pigs for her pathetic rant towards Warner. She should never be allowed to direct a movie before going to a goddamn therapist
Im the guy that only likes first Matrix... Part two is acceptable ____ after that 👎
you are in a majority
Have you heard the theory that it was made to be terrible because the wachowski’s knew Wb was gonna make a new matrix with or without them and they felt the story was done so they put this out as a meta commentary on Hollywood’s inability to innovate anymore and as a way to make sure Wb doesn’t see the matrix as a series as worth resurrecting
I didn’t even watch the movie. I saw one clip of the film and swore to never watch it
It wasn't killed, it was buried on purpose by one of the directors. Without a doubt. He broke his toys so no one can play with them. Shame.
the Matrix has finally reached Rambo, and Terminator status. with every shitty sequal we remember how truly great the original was.
Rambo is a pretty good franchise; I didn't think the 5th movie was needed but even that one was decent.
Terminator 1 was terrible
At rambo 4 redeemed itself but even the 2nd and 3rd weren't bad sequels. Different. But not bad.
This is how I feel about Alien 3 and Terminator Genisys and Terminator Dark Fate
Keanu didn’t use a gun in this, don’t even think he picked up one. What?!
He didn’t pick up a gun in the second or third movie either.
@@EricSciarine-yc6znreally, interesting. It has been a while.
@@EricSciarine-yc6znHe didn't NEED a gun in 2 and 3. Here, he doesn't have his uber-kung fu or his super Saiyan flying (RIP btw). All he's got is that hadouken Force push thing.
A gun would have REEEALLY been useful... Especially since Keanu, himself, is even better with firearms now than he was in the OG Matrices.
The Matrix was always about the schizophrenic post-modern condition. You have a boring, pointless daytime life and an exciting, meaningful nighttime life. The fantasy of the the Matrix is, holy shit, the exciting, meaningful fantasy life is actually the real life! Not only that, the boring, pointless daytime life can be taken over and controlled by the fantasy life! None of the sequels grasp why the first movie was so appealing. Especially to post-modern people, with our ennui and malaise and other French words.
Fun fact. Sophia Boutela from Brass Aggainst the machine who did Wake up, pissed on a fan during the concert. So I guess the song was logical choice for the "director" .
It just lacked everything. It lacked action, storytelling, sound design, poor casting, made for a tv feel, zero bullet time, budget driven, poor twists, poor nods, poor script, poor meta analysis (that really made no sense)…
It was too worries about making statements about trans, sexuality and society using subliminal imagery and a story about mirror images. The director is clearly making metaphorical statements about his/her personal journey and experiences since becoming Trans.
This film should of been a film noir detective investigation story ( similar to the Animatrix short), a prequel about an investigation into weird occurrences that start to push a detective into rabbit hole investigation that leads him towards becoming the first AI to discover the matrix but is being hunted by the 1st incarnation of the agents whilst being helped by a mysterious woman.
No Neo, no trinity, no Morpheus… just a new story.
I hate when they ruin a good set of movies for a cash grab like what they did to the terminator franchise. I mean how bad this part of the franchise is and since they changed the main characters maybe bc they knew it was gonna be trash, the only other thing that would make it worse is if they would've put a different actor as Neo bc Keanu should've seen or prob knew it was gonna be garbage but i guess sometimes ppl will do anything for money.
Please never stop roasting movies. You are so hilarious!
The En Vogue reference was chef's kiss!!!
I'm glad I'm not a movie reviewer because I really enjoyed not going to this movie. :)
Your rant is definitely more entertaining than that trashfire of a film.
The wachowski brothers made fantastic cinema with the original matrix movies,
The wachowski sisters made a follow up film that no one ever asked for or wanted, to be honest I'm amazed they managed to get Keanu to sign up for it .
There's more than a lot of evidence that the brothers stole the original screenplay from a un copyrighted writer who was trying to sell it. That would explain why the first movie was great and the other three were more or less carbon copies. I just have to laugh at the climatic scene when the people are hurtling out the windows as if they were trying to escape the movie.
That Mr. Reeves even agreed to be in this... The Matrix was at peace, it all resolved... And now this, I am so with You on "Should it even exist?"
This video taught me how much movies can impact people. You and your relationship with the Matrix and with your children. That was nice and they shouldnt watch a movie that was made with such disrespect.
It really is that bad. So is almost everything else but damn, I really expected something like The Matrix to avoid the modern day butchering of old franchises trend. When I left the theatre, it was just like yea, I should have known better. I don't even know what they were trying to go for with this flick. It deserved much better treatment than what it got. But I don't care what anyone says about it, The Matrix: Path of Neo, on ps2 and OG Xbox was fire.
I’d rather either WB went ahead and made it without either of the Wachowskis sense we got such 4th wall breaking trash. Or it never got made at all
I lost track of the number of times I watched The Matrix. Did not like the second because it felt like they focused on looong fight choreography and less time on the story. The third was brutally complicated and the ending felt emotionally like the ending for Lost. I was really excited and hyped about the trailer for the 4th but wished I had skipped it. The concept could've worked but the story turned out to be a hot mess with a reboot of almost every beloved character. I'm sure someone will try to milk a 5th movie.
Worse follow up ever made? No. The worst is everything after Avengers End Game. Nobody can top that long streak of jokes.
Did Keanu really need the money for this film or is it an Illuminati thing?
He should be ashamed for appearing in this garbage.
Unless you guys don't know, the 4th movie was made bad on purpose with 2 goals.
First goal - to make sure it flops and it will be impossible to be turned and milked into sequels. And it delivered quite well on that.
Second was an extensive social commentary on the world we live in where nothing is original anymore and everything is a remake of something else, good or bad. Not only movies and games, but now even ads as well. NPH actually lays it all out in a very subtle, but genius way by mentioning "The Suits". It was actually a very cool way of giving the middle finger to the entire industry. This is the biggest key as to why The Matrix 2.0 is so much lamer, why it doesn't have fancy CGI or complex fighting sequences, which defined the original. You can see that even in the way both The Architect and The Analyst speak - one talks almost with human passion about his desire to achieve equilibrium of a chaotic mathematical equation, solving the anomaly, while the other is there with one purpose only - to generate as high of a profit as possible. Just like in real world, film making and game developing are no longer driven by passion, but obsession over money and profit. They are being made not by directors, but by accountants. We see this everywhere - studios cutting corners, trying everything to reduce costs, not allowing the creators enough time to perfect their products, pushing the latest trendy agenda to ride the hype wave... all of that with the sole purpose of increasing profit. Back in the movie, It's even visible in the art-style of the new Matrix 2.0. While the original was cold toned and had very clinical, very sterile feel to it, the new one is using all kinds of filters with turned on VIVID mode. The color saturation is off the charts, which is again how movies are made now days - plenty of eye-candy, but absolutely nothing of value underneath that. No good story, no goo character development, just cheap effects and colors in a pointless attempt to distract the mind from that fact it's being occupied dealing with absolute garbage.
This movie is beyond meta. If you go back watching it with that in mind, that it's made bad on purpose, almost every single scene and i mean really like 99% of the scenes in this movie have something to comment on the modern state of the industry and start to make sense. Why Agent Smith was recast, why Morpheus acts completely out of character, why Neo doesn't have his powers, why Niobe acted in such cowardly manner, why we were only shown a glimpse of a great content which could've been with the machines fighting one another, replacing the agents with bots, lack of bullet-time, mirrors hacking, social media, human interaction, agendas. Absolutely every single scene is pointing out what's wrong with out modern day content creation and consumption.
That's why when i left the theatre after watching the movie i had my mind blown almost like the first time i watched the original, when it made me question my very existence.
I could feel your pain on this one Adam. This movie is just another example of why I won't go to see movies anymore without first getting a heads up from my favorite reviewers.
Papa? Papa?!? How was the movie Papa?!!? 😂🤣
yes papa, please tell us ...
papa please!

Can you post a link to that debate with rotten tomatoes debate ?

I did I love how you stuck to your guns !@@AdamDoesMovies
Did you get a new microphone? You sound a little different. I might be tripping
I used the new enhanced audio feature for Premiere Pro. Do you like it better or worse? I think it sounds much better but I also don't know shit about anything.
@AdamDoesMovies I think it sounds good. It's more like you are in a professional studio type setting
The girlbros should've let other people direct and write the sequels. After the first Matrix, the movies all got progressively worse. But I do like the Animatrix because it didn't feel like a sequel. It was a fresh take.
The Matrix WAS my all time favourite action/sci-fi/thriller movies of all time.
I loved the sequel, the 3rd one not so much, it almost followed in the footsteps of how Star Wars was, with ROTJ being the weakest, but still had some great moments.
This film however, my god.
I remember seeing the trailer and thinking, hoping, this looks good, they wouldn't possibly bring this back with one of the original creators to shit all over it.
Seriously FML and this film, it was a trial getting through this and I've only watched it once, I could not believe how bad it was.
Is this Seriously where we are now, if anything, this is a confirmation along with all of the other trash out there that Hollywood and the film industry as a whole have totally lost the ability to make a good movie.
These are sad times when all you can do to find entertainment greatness is look back and not forwards.
Idk whats going on with your vocal audio, but it seems to have some strange ai pitching going on that is fairly noticable with ear buds.
Just recently watched your review from when it originally came out, seeing you take another opportunity to rip into this shit show warms my heart...😂
I could almost get over the bad story if the fight scenes were awesome but no. Film was a disappointment throughout.
This sounds NUTS! video games? Scenes from the old films are clips from the game? WTF? That's morphious? Actually, it's not. WTF?
I couldn't even finish this movie and I'm someone who enjoyed the trilogy very much. After falling asleep an hour into it the first time and then falling asleep again 30 minutes later the second time, picking up from where I left off, I just gave up on finishing the movie. Truly disappointing for those who liked or loved the trilogy. Great rant Adam! Very entertaining as always.
I actually watched it in theaters with my friend on Christmas because of Keanu Reeves and there not being anything else I wanted to see in theaters at the time.
Neither of us had seen any of the last 3 movies in years. I got really confused during the part about the Frenchman because I had completely forgotten that he was a thing.
The biggest problem with Resurrections is not that it's just a bad movie. It is an offensive movie. It is an insult to all that came before (yes, even the original sequels!), and a middle finger to fans.
The W Twin responsible for this abomination should retire in shame.
Other than that... 😂
The first film was brilliant. I hated two and three. Hated the real world where everyone is living like hippy cavemen.
I've made few great choices in my life:
1. Merry my boarding school sweetheart
2. Have two beautiful children with her
3. Being an early investor in bitcoin
4. Not watching this movie
You made it through a lot more of the movie than I did and I cannot understand why people like it too.
I don't know why it took me so long to find this review plus your original if I had finished the movie I'm sure I would have had the exact experience I look forward to watching other reviews
I honestly think Keanu is such a genuine guy that he came back to help out the casting as if you dig into it.. WB wanted a ANOTHER sequel for YEARS. They eventually got ONE of the Wachowski bros/sisters… to finally give in.. and ironically it seems it was INTENTIONALLY messed up on purpose. In the sense that WB said they were making another instalment with or without the original directors and cast, including the fight choreographer (which STILL didn't return - evidently) … so it was like “ ok, if you stfu I’ll make this one more movie, but audiences will hate it and we are going to make it align heavily with our values(woke)” … and that’s exactly what we got. I truly believe this is what happened.
This is probably your best video to date. A great watch , so much passion but also very funny
Yeah, Adam, the fact that people who liked RESURRECTIONS told you "You only hated it because you didn't understand it" is just unheard of
Passed out about half way, woke up about 20 mins to end turned it off and never looked back.
People out in the world thinking the new kung fu fight scene was better because animation upgrades.
When you shamed your daughters by looking at the floor boards about how the movie sucked and then top of that told them how to watch it on HBO...I mean are just trying horrify them to sleep or your kids are scared to make you cry watching a movie that traumatized you. You could crush their Legos and step up on them.
I heard they didn’t want to make it and the studio said it was going to be made without them. I mean the movie’s themes kinda scream this.
Larry was bitter and put no heart into the movie.
yup so they turned the movie into an intentionally bad meta fuck you to the studio which also still basically fucks over the fans of the franchise.
This movie has given me PTSD the director needs some mental care
Your review is cruel, vicious and wonderful. Sardonic humor is my favorite way to analyze crappy film craft.Bravo. Thank you.
Two things about this film:
I can’t remember any character names. Not a single one.
Wachowski is a walking stereotype. As a guy created something special. As a trans woman…🤷🏼♂️
And please don't go over this film as I don't ever want to acknowledge this film exists.
Its so forgettable. I watched it once and I couldn't tell you anything about it, other than It Stinks! The first movie is amazing work.
Its poetic that the first video of yours I ever saw was the original roast of Matrix: Retarded, like 3 years back. I have watched countless hours of your channel since then! And here we are, back where we started, with this utter piece of shit movie... this insult to Matrix fans. This review had me loling as always, thank you Adam for the amazing content !!
fun fact: a week before the movie was release a bunch of behind the scenes screens came out for publicity stunts on different youtube channels (made for the movie in some cases) where the wachoski director and actors will actually confess to the camera that the movie was bad on purpose - most noticeably the director confessing "she just wanted to tell a story where she could revive neo and trinity because their parents died and she could not revive them on real life" and "now the matrix is inclusive having 2 choosen ones, of both biological genders (and implied that neo and trinity are bi and pansexual checking many boxes) then jada pinkett smith adding that "the only logical option was to have her character (witch was a disposable add on on the sequels) to become the ruler of the new city I/O just because she is black, female and nobody tells her what to do" even the guy that did the merovingian with shame told "its a new spin, now my character is a joke of what a capitalist will be in the future world after inclusivity and socialism takes over in the real world" so all the capitalists in the world will become insane homeless people. just like in the soviet union with the aristocrats. lovely. those videos 2 days after, and most of the channels where deleted. i guess WB pick them up for some lawsuit to the director, since she destroyed the franchise because WB told her they will be making a sequel "with or without her" involved at all.
I wish I could express myself the way you do. I feel exactly the same way about almost every movie you cover, and you speak it to my heart.
It wasn't Matrix Resurrections, it was as you said Matrix Regurgitations (that was exactly what I said to my friend as well after watching lol).
The story was shit, boring characters with the film trying to hopelessly relive the trilogy's glory days.
And to make matters worse, even the fight scenes which should have at least been moderately entertaining was totally uninspiring.
In the end, I refuse to accept this film as canon.
