This movie was excellent. People cannot help but compare. But this is 2021. I found the action scenes refreshing... Apart from two. Why? It felt real! Can you imagine a full cartoon looking fight scene in this movie??? I giggled every time Neo made a force field. It's makes sense and all, no quarrels, but it just made me giggle. It's 2021! Think about it. The extra flying and swooping is not the point of this movie. It was epic back then because it was back then. And very few people caught the true essence of the story. It's about love and the realness of love and who you are. You can be controlled if you fail to identify what's real in your own minds. If the fight scenes weren't less chaotic and less perfect, I doubt I would have noticed that. In the fight scenes, I heard the actual punches, and Neo made me feel all the punch he got.
When Morpheus fought in Neo's office it literally did not resonate. I felt the actual fight and the struggle for who been fighting for something real, even Smith. (LOVED how they shut him up in the ending scene lol). The storyline was awesome. Didn't disappoint. The twists and the highlight on Trinity just makes so much sense. The actors sold the parts really well, especially Morpheus. His version was a relief because it would have been real jarring if he forcibly played like the first Morpheus. I just could relate to this show in so many ways. I loved it.
