Both this and Reloaded are disappointingly dull. I do not hold promise for the 2021 movie after catching up on Matrix 2 and 3 from 2003.
The dialog is lacking depth, there's persistent mediocrity. Some of the lines sound like web search results for "examples of filler dialog in action movies".
The original Matrix was good, but the next two are terrible. Cringey at times.
It was a mistake to go down the smoochy love story between Keanu and Trinity. Add sub-subterranean ravers, cookies, oracles and implausible gun fighting nonsense.... it departed the originality of the first Matrix and became a producer's box-ticking project.
I hated the "sci-fi orchestral" music, how it sounded like generic star wars. Every scene was filled with cliched action theme background music. Big brass, horns, strings blaring constantly. What happened to atmospheric sound effects? Why must we suffer trumpets and woodwind the whole movie like a bad music video?
Monotone delivery of simplistic one-liners. Annoying "explain to the audience in ominous tone" scenes. Overcooked villains.
