In my opinion, the "Matrix" ship sailed a long time ago and a lot of fans were left with a bad taste in their mouths from how "Matrix Revolutions" ended. I don't think this new film will do well at the box office.

I fail to see it living up to the hype it will generate. We will definitely go see it but will be avoiding any trailers or spoilers. Maybe after the disappointment of the last one the series needed a big break for it to cash in on a last movie.

To steal the catchphrase of another franchise that should have stopped at one..

"There can be only one!"

Will be avoiding this like the plague.

It looks to me like the producers and studio are banking on the fact that Keanu's career is currently at a high point due to the big success of the John Wick films so they want to strike while the iron is hot.

Revolutions? How about the one hour slog of pointless crap of an opening that Reloaded was?

The Matrix was perfect.

Reloaded was me scratching my head wondering what happened.

Revolutions was a dream I never had because I refused to go to bed.

I still haven't seen Revolutions and don't miss it. So unless they can atone for the abortion the latter two films were, I see no chance in a fourth. Perhaps, maybe, if they wrapped the latter two around the premise they were a dream within the Matrix and never happened, that something drastic had happened at the end of the first, or immediately thereafter, that incapacitated Neo and his team to the point he was trapped in some hallucinatory psychosis, maybe then they could delete those plot threads and give us the real truth, reality, and ending of the Matrix franchise the first's story deserved.

But that will require some #%&*$# good writing, and writers of that caliber in Hollywood are in short supply. Too much "safe" and not enough "bold and daring" these days.

Would've been best left at the one movie, but since the 2nd & 3rd exist as they are...
Sure, go ahead and see what y'all can do with it, on the off chance they can do something good. Not much to lose now.
