surprised we don't have a thread on it.
i rewatched the trilogy yesterday, after i'd been meaning to for quite a while, and though it has its flaws it's a great movie and i still remember watching it and being in awe of the effects and aesthetic and obviously the world is fake/humanity is a virus concept.
the second and third part are pretty rubbish - the action sequences in the "real world" were so dull and dated even back then, a real step back for such a forward thinking franchise, i loathed the costumes, the casting, the predictable stories and the overall look of it even back in the day. as for the parts where it gets philosophical, i found it as gibberishy and convoluted and ultimately obfuscated as i did back then.
i really like hugo weaving's acting. he is splendid. keanu is absolutely gorgeous but rather clunky in places. i liked carrie-ann moss as well though her character reads really flat these days and her delivery exacerbates that.
all in all, i'd give the first movie a 10, if only for significance, but the subsequent movies were objectively very middling.
anyway, part four apparently coming in 2021, at least in a pre-covid19 world it was.
