    omg, Bley, I think the 4th Matrix would blow your effing mind. In all the wrong ways. My opinion of the trilogy is basically yours. The 4th is one of the most surreal movie watches I've ever had. The entire first act is "…Is this happening?" And everything after is mostly disappointment or more "I can't believe this is happening."

    There's exactly one thing in it that's cool, which is the tertiary backstory of what's happened since the 3rd regarding the human/machine dynamic. They should've told THAT story. It's also kinda cool how some things shift with key players compared to the originals. But everything else… Holy heck. There's really weird recastings for seemingly no reason. Arguably the worst crimes are the action and VFX though. There's shots in this that look worse than the old ones. Of the same things. And the action is just, not good. Are you returning to the Matrix to see sick ass fights? How silly of you.

    iirc apparently WB was gonna do it with or without 1 or both of the Wachowskis. Lana returned returned so it didn't end up in numpty whoever's hands. But… Damn. The whole film feels so weird. I'd rather we had just gotten a typical Hollywood reboot to what this ended up being. At least then there might've been some people working on it who loved the original/s and wanted to present a modern take on it or do a direct sequel like this that's at least trying to do something. It legit floored me that this film was made the way it was made.

    I love all Jumanji films, and even Zathura. And I also love Dwayne Johnson. At least for me this is a perfect combo. Can't wait for the next one, I know it is going to be entertaining.

    I remember seeing a video on YouTube where the guy was talking about the Indiana Jones sequels
    guy 1: we need to strike while the iron is hot
    guy 2: you mean while Harrison Ford is alive?
    guy 1: right

    (Politely)— starting with bathroom newsletter was a rocky start. Reasons- shorter attention spans make us pickier, beginning didnt match thumbnail topic. Hook me as a stayer first. Not trolling. Just fan feedback.

    Might be a controversial take but i kind of like them making shows till the franchise goes to ground it kind of gives closure whereas if they end on high i keep wanting to go back rewatch them. ruining it makes it so that na its bad just dont watch it

    The oldest that I hated was Alien 3. It ruined Aliens by killing off Newt and Hicks. It makes Aliens completely stupid. They should have just moved onto others without affecting the history of impact of Alien and Aliens. Aliens is like in my top 10. On the other hand, Predator 2 didn't impact Predator 1, because there were not related and it didn't retcon Predator (also in my top 10). The biggest issue with franchises is when the movie UNDOES one of the best movies ever made, that is just unforgivable. Gladiator 2 kind of undoes Gladiator as well, because of how much the movie sucks and tries to make a story ongoing from Gladiator that makes no sense. I mean, the most obvious is the new Star Wars … 8 and 9, undermining everything, and ruining 1 through to 7 with their decisions.

    Not watching this video because making a video telling people what to think about their favorite things is toxic, but I do agree with those in the thumbnail except for STAR WARS.
    STAR WARS has unfinished story arcs of some characters we love. Some need happy or satisfactory endings. We need to watch some grow up too.
