Keanu isn't a spring chicken anymore. My suspicion is that he simply isn't up to the martial arts as much anymore. Either that, or because this is a different kind of movie, they spent less time and money on getting the fighting right as it was secondary to the love story.
Well... funny thing is that, identity politics, who it was for and so on didn't bother me the least in the movie. From a story telling point, the directory, their message, etc I would really like to understand why he was so underwhelming. I like to talk about movies and better understand valid failures and their criticisms. Why I said I'll weigh in on what I said was ****ed and how Chris Stuckmann rates it. There isn't really (for me at least) a point in doing the same with someone like Angry Joe who seems to just like about everything / dislike just about everything where as CS seems to do it more from an actual film making point of view. Therein imho is where M4 fails. If you (and it is not you) don't like this then either ignore me or kindly ****off.
I guess we can measure this against john wick 4? You are probably correct...
I don't buy into this kak for one second. It is just another selling point as to saying hey look we've got trans in our movie or whatever and now everyone is fixating generating content. The central point of matrix is hardly love. Sigh, I wish I had that site which was really cool with its analysis paralysis on the matrix.
Agreed. I loved binary and a few other things. It just fails for at the technical points and sadly brings it down. Do I expect too much? I am I too critical? Perhaps we all enjoy our bad/popcorn at times and this is just it.
Yeah, if it's gimmicky methods it's still the same result for me.
You could nit pick any franchise and look for and find faults. ST: Discovery is a woke mess and woke is one of the things Matrix 4 is accused of being.I hear you. But...
1. I don't applaud tricky profiteers on the whole.
2. Terminator, it made sense, more modern timeline can reflect reality as it's less sci-fi-ish in that respect. Star Wars, I thought over the top there too but not much of a fan, more into Star Trek. For Matrix, it's a disgraceful disrespect, story complete or not, too many things are over-engineered by Hollyweird these days.
Will watch it when the sting / stink wears off
Why I decided not to watch it, hear the most recent season stinks. Liked Janeway in ST Voyager though..
I'm realising that now, again. Still, the self-referential seems to suggest that line of thought, but will take your word for it.
One of the selling points of M1 was the concept and amazing effects like bullet time, with the gaping plot holes and some absurdities playing second fiddle.
Well... FF is popcorn anyways from the get go and couldn't be taken serious in any regard.
Can't agree. They just had to try make an extension of the popular ST: TNG but they wouldn't hear of it, and going for woke has caused failure so not getting you?
And yet people will complain that it's unrealistic.
At some point all series has to call it a day and move on.
True.
I take it you have watched Lower Decks?
For a while I used to do animation for a living, so not usually into them. Any good?
Take this heathen to the airlock and eject him
Will reply here to keep the review thread cleaner. But I'm interested to see more reviews breaking down the fx and why it looked so bad. One of the obvious things right from the start was this really clunky slow motion thing they do that looks b-grade...
