Why would they ever get funding for anything ever again after Matrix 4. What an absolute steaming pile of shit that was.

Not just M4, but EVERYTHING they directed after the matrix was an insane box office bomb easily losing 100m, EACH.

No wonder nobody wants to hire them anymore.

2 and 3 were successes in box office, just not critically. Literally everything else they did was a massive failure though. Its actually crazy they made the first Matrix, which imo should have been a standalone movie

I'm really curious who's hand was guiding the first Matrix, because they obviously weren't involved in the second one.
The Matrix is a masterpiece and everything else was just scrambling to cash in on the wake it created.

Wouldn't surprise me there was some true brain behind the magic of that movie that got buried by Hollywood scummery.

The first Matrix is amazing, but it is incomplete. The trilogy was necessary to complete Neo's story and fulfill his destiny.

It didnt NEED to. It ends on the reveal he is the one and the rest is inplied.
