The Matrix is one of the most well-known cyberpunk movies; I’m not going to argue its cyberpunk qualities. But 20 years after The Matrix was relevant, we got a cash-grab sequel in Matrix Resurrections.
My question to you is: Is there anything cyberpunk left in Matrix Resurrections? Or has the franchise been so diluted that what’s left is no longer cyberpunk? For example, in the first movie Neo was a hacker. By this movie, I really wouldn’t call him a hacker anymore. But maybe the themes of “what it means to be human” still remain?

The Matrix has turned into another meh franchise that’s just an excuse to sell lots of the funky impossible karate that was impressive and refreshing the first time, but now totally repetitive, annoyingly constantly fast-paced, and stupid sub-plots with zero surprises.
It’s devolved into another totally boring and unimaginative franchise that’s being milked for all it’s worth, like the million Marvel, Fast and Furious or John Wick movies out there.
John Wick is awesome and unlike those other two had the decency to have AN ENDING
John Wick is awesome
To each his own. I find it unwatchable. It’s unrelenting high-speed sameness from beginning to end. Very tiring to watch and very boring at the same time.
