The Matrix Resurrections | December 22 2021 | Keanu, Lana Wachowski back

Seen a bunch of people calling this a rom-com. Considering that I'm in my rom-com phase atm, sounds pretty good.

Not sure what posting a really fun scene from the movie is supposed to prove. 

Looks awful to me. Scott Pilgrim tried the same thing and succeeded, but this looks cringy, visually awful and outright embarassing at times, but that's just me.

Scott Pilgrim did not do the same thing. And some cheesiness in movies is a good thing.

I like Edgar Wright, I do but some of his fans sometimes make me wish for his career to totally collapse and he’s stuck doing CBS episodes just to shut them up. 

 

Anyway I adored SR, a movie earnestly trying to honest to God without modern snark emulate old Saturday morning action cartoons (like SR) and buried underneath this blockbuster big budget movie with race cars and ninjas, we have a sincere anti-corporate screed that’s hypocritical yet I respect the gall to do it because the directors wanted to, not because it focus tested well.

From what I've heard the action is much much worse than in trilogy.

Well that’s a damn pisser if so.

There is hardly any action even in the trailers. Fuck this movie hard if it has no good action. Piss off.

I will never understand this release date. Why are you dropping reactions on Spider-Man opening night? What actually is in this movie that WB actively doesn’t want anyone to see? This is just crazy at this point. 

 

Traditionally the market expands in the summer time and holiday period and you get several movies doing well at the same time.

If the plan is for them to wait for people not to be stupid, they'll have to wait forever.

The holidays are usually a prime month for counterprogramming. It worked out pretty well for the Jumanji sequels.

I'm actually not a big fan of Edgar or Scott Piligrim, I just felt this type of style worked much better in SP, even though SP was too much for me.

Those seem encouraging?

[ThomasNicole]

Pretty good reactions, still i wouldn't expect so good reviews, still hoping it manage to be fresh tho.

 

Anyway i'm very excited to see it, we need more bold blockbusters.

[YM!]

These reactions are giving me life. Digging the TLJ comparisons.

[Fox20]

That reads like the type of movie that will be liked by the critics more than the audiences.

If nothing else, these reactions seem to at least confirm that this isn’t a TFA-style retread.

Pretty much all of this are from RT approoved critics, fwiw. The good part is that even those who didn't like it is just mixed, not worse than that.
