Matrix Revolutions did a pretty good job of insuring that there will never be another Matrix movie.  I'm not just talking about the reception and its staggering Boxoffice drop off from Reloaded, its pretty much impossible to continue the story.

 

Matrix Reloaded has an overcomplicated plot but the movie focuses on Neo & his band of rebels and the action is inventive and plentiful. Revolution cuts back and forth between Neo & Zion's sewer battle with none of Neo crew participating in the struggle. It's almost as if the audience is walking into a completely different movie. By the time Neo talks to the Machine God, audience's connection to the story is severed. The Matrix Trilogy stills one of the most innovative action movies in recent memory. But a  new series/spin-off made following a mega successful Trilogy rarely succeeds imo. Star Wars Prequels made lotsa money and the die hard fans camped overnight to sit in the front rows but everybody knows with the exception of the Darth Maul saber duel, everything about the Prequels lack inspiration.

How do you dislike Spongebob if you have never seen the show?

Also, go Spongebob! Predicted 42 to 46 mil OW, hoping it gets into that range at least.

I didn't say I disliked it. But the trailer looks incredibly cheap, even more so that the Smurfs movies which is the lowest you can get. And apparently this is a brand...

I like the flawed and occasionally cheesy The Matrix Reloaded, it gets a lot of flak, but its certainly better than most of the big budget action movies that come out of Hollywood these days IMO, but Matrix Revolutions is unforgivably stupid imo.

There was another SpongeBob movie?

10 years ago, yes.

 

Jupiter Ascending will probably get all IMAX screens fully tomorrow is Seventh Son keeps on its flopping ways.

JA is doing great business in IMAX and 2D over here. It is a shame most theaters opted to only have 3D shows at night, it is hurting it a lot.
