Not sure if it's the 'Uncanny Valley' effect - but it did nothing for me

Let's be honest, only the first film was fairly good.
Reloaded and Revolutions were just obvious attempts to milk that cow dry.

Matrix 2 and 3 was just two films which should've been one.
But at least they visually looked stunning and had cool action scenes like Neo v 1000 Smith's, the motorway fight and the final rain battle.
Matrix 4 has zero ambition. I think they purposely put out a bad film so they wouldn't do anything Matrix again
She seems to be getting better scripts as she gets older or maybe she can pick and choose now, which means no more of those dreadful rom coms that she always used to do.
But it’s still not one if there’s a sequel.

Watched this the other day. Not a classic, but fairly enjoyable watch. Has a bit of the final destination vibes about it.

Absolutely mate, I watched the first a week or so ago - loved it as before, then watched the 2nd and turned it off after 20 minutes.
Genuinely couldn't remember it being so poor, I've not even plucked up the enthusiasm to watch the 3rd yet.

All movies should be viewed as standalone movies.
The art of a multi-part story is that each film needs to be able to stand wholly on its own, regardless of which part of the overall story it is telling. The best movies do this. Harry Potter, LOTR Star Wars IV-VI are all watchable single movies in a collection which overall tell a larger story, but importantly they all stand up well as single standalone movies. Dune imo doesn't. Being faithful to the book doesn't always mean that its well adapted for the screen.
I remember having this argument when Episode 7 was released - I was one of those who saying it was a basically a huge letdown because it was so focussed on setting up this new trilogy it didn't have any sort of resolution to any of the plot points it started, and so didn't really stand up as its own movie.. everyone said I was talking crap, but I think I've been pretty well vindicated on that one. Movies cannot rely on their planned sequels to tell their stories - they need to stand up as their own full well told stories. That's the art of screen adaptation.
