It's a sin against Keanu Jesus to leave a bad review
Despite some rabid bad reviewers, and even some fair criticisms, I rather enjoyed this film.
I also went into this without high expectations.
What made the very first Matrix was some never-seen-before cutting edge film effects technology, and the 2 following films rode on the coat tails of that, doing fairly well without really adding much other than playing out the ancient old Messiah story in the Matrix universe.
This new version was fun. It didn't really explore any new ground, introduce new effects, but, it let us revisit a universe we loved, and, I'm pretty sure it's not nearly as bad as some folks knee-jerk bombing it want to claim.
Keanu is also the best everything. Negging on any work he's part of is just bad juju. Keanu's success is all of our success, and with the last several years being the dumpster fire it's been, we need more light, and more Keanu, even if it doesn't live up to some folks' expectations.
