They didn't deliver on the promises that Neo made at the end of the first movie. They're quite different than the first film. The 4th one was an obvious cash grab by the studios. The Wachowskis didn't want to make the movie, and they straight-up tell the audience in the movie that they were forced to do it, or let someone else do it.
The fourth was sort of hilarious on that point. HERE'S YOUR STUPID MOVIE! I'd have been pissed if I was expecting something different, but I laughed my ass off.
I wasn't expecting much of anything with the movie. I only watched it because it was free, and I was curious. The messaging about cash grabs, licensing, and lack of style were my favorite parts of the movie. It's just a shame that it exists and somewhat tarnishes the rest of the movies.
Yeah, but you did get to see an angry director have some corporate movie executives write her a check to tell them to fuck themselves in a pretty definitive manner.
That made me kind of happy, it was a relentless torrent of hate, but it seemed like it was aimed in the right direction.
Yes, I respected them a lot more after watching the movie than I did when it was announced.
