I'm not understanding all the "retread" comments. What are you basing that on?
Trailer looks good.

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.
Yeah, I don't know about this. Trailers can be misleading. Torch could be passed to new Morpheus after Neo and Trinity turn out to be the big baddies.VinylGuy wrote:yeah maybe.
What i like about this sequel is that it seems its going to use its characters and not make the passing the torch shit we have been seeing lately.
Kid was originally planned to have a large role in any Matrix Trilogy sequel. I'm not sure if that is still the case or if that character is in this in any capacity. He a different kind of "The One." But I'm not sure his incredible gift (self freeing himself from The Matrix) is actually useful or can be taught in anyway. A lot has changed in the past 15 years, but he was going to be the torch bearer.tree_ wrote:Yeah, I don't know about this. Trailers can be misleading.

Today's Hollywood doesn't care. Odds of receiving an Oscar nomination will increase substantially if a minority takes the reigns and old white guy turns heel.VinylGuy wrote:if they die in this one they will at least have one fucking long movie with them. Doesnt seem likely, i mean Reeves is still the star it seems.
But yeah, i see your point.

i've never hated the sequels, but they're better as a rewatch... after years of lowering the bar in your mind.Strat wrote:Hmm. Watching that trailer reminded me that i dont actually remember how the story "ended" or what happened in the sequels.
And also now I remember thinking the sequels got so goddamn convoluted that I think i stopped caring.
I would like to revisit though.
