The only gripe I had was the last 10 seconds of the movie... super cliche and annoying. Good kills though, especially the genocide. Shot well, lots of blood, looked like they used film which always looks better on movies. Sarah Yarkin was definitely the best character.
It has to be the most unique Marvel movie I've seen and quite honestly I'm glad it strayed from the formulaic typical Marvel movie... it was a bit long, and could have very well been made in to a 10 part series if they wanted to dive deeper into all the characters, but they didn't really need to once you find out they're origin. The only thing that truly bothered me about the characters was the young one who even though has 7000 years of memories still acts like a kid, but that could also have to do with her origin. The movie was good, it had many different personalities throughout the cast. Aside from scientific technicalities it played well and I hope they make a sequel... it's a touch darker than your typical Marvel go, so that's something to be aware of.
So I didn't totally expect that I'd like this one. It was good, not terrible, not great, kind of what you expect from a sequel/reboot... I get that they were playing on Neo being older, but man did he look like he was having a tough time in every fight scene... I feel like he was supposed to look this way or it could of been bad choreography... because in John Wick, Keanu never looks like he's having a bad go in a fight.
The movie seemed really rushed as far as the story goes, like they had to throw something together really quick to get into production. Again it wasn't bad, but it felt super factory Hollywood.... Honestly I'd like to see a prequel movie on how the Matrix comes to be lol but obviously that movie can't be made because there would be no happy ending. Even a movie where the Matrix is actually brought down, I don't know something fresh... the same old "we're in the Matrix" bs can't go on.
7 for the actors, I liked all the new people, especially Smith and Morpheus 5 for the story... obviously this wasn't written over the last 20 years, it probably took them a few months if that.
10 for special effects, it's hard to mess this part up now a days.
If it has a 5th installment, they need to get writers who have dreams and creativity.
Also thank god they got rid of that stupid green tint that was used gracefully in the first movie, but washed over the second and third movies.
