I can't tell if this movie was so intentionally bad, that it was actually good or if it was simply bad.
The set-up was a massive middle finger to Warner Brothers. I would love to read the contracts involved on both sides that ended up in the abomination of a movie.
I'm almost not even sure where to begin as far as the bad and the ugly for the movie. What in the hell happened to Agent Smith? Why did Trinity end up as a Mary Lou at the end? Neo can't fly but can now do shockwaves? The dialogue was laughably bad at moments.
However, there were still some good, thought provoking moments I enjoyed. Count me in the minority, but I appreciated how they replaced Morpheus. This is likely how we will develop AI in the future, by placing programs in an open world environment in a looping scenario, until they become self aware. Also, The Analyst is a great replacement for The Architect. A malevolent blend between The Oracle and The Architect that provides accurate commentary on the polarization of humans due to emotions.
The movie had some really interesting elements in it that I enjoyed, but overall the story was so bad I can't ignore it. Would have rather none of the cast returned and we could have written this off from the get go.
