[Greedouw]

I mean, honestly, from a superficial perspective, this was a troll movie

Watching No Way Home for a 2nd (or 3rd) time.

I kinda zoned out towards the last 40-50mins of the movie. I liked the meta 4th way bullshit in it but I honestly felt bored with it overral. The smith actor is a 50/50 of he's alright and rest meh.

Something about "Tom" just ruins it. How you going to get rid of one of the key things of Smith and his "Misttttttterrrr Andersonnnnn" remarks. I liked his energy and mannerisms otherwise.

There was plenty to question in the movie, but overall, I think I'd edge on the side of surprised over disappointed. There was more thought and reasoning to the plot than I assumed there would be going into it. Gotta give Film Theory credit for pretty much getting everything right ahead of time, except it was a game instead of a movie. I'll watch sequels (if there are?) cause I'm invested in the series/lore enough to see it through, but my expectations will be kept in the middle ground for sure.

I don’t even get why they had to bring back “Smith.” He served absolutely no purpose other than a dynamic entry late into the movie to save the crew. They obviously have sequels in mind, but he felt completely shoehorned into the movie.

NPH was one of the better parts of the film, let the dude shine as the main antagonist.

like i said, this shit was trash

They had potential first 1/3rd of the movie trying to get Neo back, that was strongest part of the movie imo, went downhill fast after that. I feel like they were trying to fit three movies in one slot. Honestly could have made this into another trilogy.

First film: get Neo back
Second film: consequences in the real world from the first trilogy
Third film: get Trinity back

Instead they tried to put all three into one and I don’t think it worked

And if they insisted on this character returning, it should have been a surprise at the end to turn the tides or something.

Somebody must be paying critics to keep this positive, but just barely. The regular people's reviews are dropping like a rock lol.

#TheMatrixResurrections  grossed a mere $2.7M on FRI, taking its total to $13.2M in 3 days. Heading for just $23M 5-days weekend. Full run mostly sub-$60M.

15/17 Warner Bros. 2021 releases will be under $75M. Unreal.

$4.5M SAT for #TheMatrixResurrections . Total $17.7M yada yada $22M 5-days yada yada Disaster.

Looks like the movie has bombed in box office.

[Tyrath]

I mean thats what you get for coming in after the most hyped marvel movie since Endgame. Also they didn't market it very well. A LOT of my friends had no idea it was happening

Not to mention the whole being on HBO Max thing. Like this is a movie I watch on my couch

[Jaybar]

Pretty sure a lot of people didn't want to go to packed theaters with a contagious variant floating around. Still haven't seen Spider Man because of this shit.

[Krandor]

Not wanting to catch a super contagious virus sure didn't stop people from seeing Spider-Man based on the box office numbers so far.

Bad movie + HBO MAX (which also means it's fully available to pirate)

[Qalbert]

I personally don't feel that a 20 years late sequel to a franchise whose previous sequels were already not that amazing really had the box office draw of a new Spider-Man movie that was rumored to involve other versions of Spider-Man. For me at least this was always "eh I guess I'll watch this at some point out of morbid curiosity" and never any sort of genuine "oh thank fuck a new Matrix I can't wait, I'll definitely literally risk my life to see it in theaters"

It came out a week before appreciable concern for the omicron variant hit the US. But if numbers are still strong then :/

[Anoat]

R rated films opening over Christmas weekend typically don’t do that great right? Irregardless of COVID or Spider-Man’s coattails

Numbers are still strong, omicron ain't stopping Spider-Man
