What do you think of The Matrix: Resurrections? (lemmy.ml)

No spoilers for Resurrections please, I've only watched the first 3 movies in the last couple of days. Yes, I know that I'm 20 years late to the party.

I think the first movie is great, I hated the long action scenes in the second (Neo vs the Smith army got boring after a couple of minutes, and added no value), and mostly enjoyed the third, even though it didn't really feel like a Matrix movie.

I've read that the fourth is terrible. Is that because it ruined people's nostalgia, or is it really that bad? I'm probably going to watch it either way, just like to hear your opinions.

I thought it was a hilarious, satirical "screw you" to the studio for forcing them to make another sequel (and a commentary on the general theme of milking old franchises past their prime), and it I loved it for making fun of itself. I laughed through the whole thing.
