is this now basically a john wick crossover?
Hard disagree. Do yourself a favor and rewatch the whole series I bet you'll feel differently.Biff Pocoroba wrote:I might see it eventually if I hear good things but the sequels were forgetfully bad.
I started rewatching Reloaded since this is getting close. I haven't watched it since I went to a midnight showing on opening day, and after 20 minutes I realized I remember nothing about this movie.4/5 wrote:Hard disagree.

I rewatched all three a few months ago. I have basically every line of the first one memorized, I was surprised by how well I knew Reloaded, which is to say I remember basically every scene but nowhere near as specifically as the first one. The glaring exception was that I remembered the ending but had no idea how we were going to get there. I remembered very little of Revolutions outside of the ending.Simple Torture wrote:I started rewatching Reloaded since this is getting close.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
I agree, trag. I just hope they learned from the sins of other recent "remakes" and manage to make this its own thing in some not tiny way. Sure, the effects and nostalgia points look awesome, but without a good story I don't give a damn. If all the reviews come out talking about how the story is bland or actually a complete retread, I probably won't ever watch it.tragabigzanda wrote:tragabigzanda wrote:Still looks like a complete retread, still can't wait to give them my money
I don't get this. Neo living in the Matrix having memories of the events of the first 3 movies but thinking that he's losing mind is a retread?tragabigzanda wrote:tragabigzanda wrote:Still looks like a complete retread, still can't wait to give them my money
