Having been in my 20's when the original released and being a huge Trilogy FANatic all I can say is having heard 4 was "coming soon" was my personal dream come true!
To make this anymore of a "heartfelt" story would be to expose you all to the raw nerve this THING (M 4) mercilessly tortured deep within my soul, having totally destroyed forever my ability to remember JUST THE TRILOGY and nothing more... yes... this THING this Larry/Lana W. (obviously untalented without his/her brother/sister...?...yeah, ok...) slung onto "this existence", for me, has even ruined my desire to watch the originals because I know I will never be able to wipe M4 from my mind. And YES!... IT was truly that horrid.
Obviously low budgeted (Covid's killed enough so don't even think about blaming that ole scapegoat, besides, Geriatric Joe Biden can't spare his only excuse) AND obviously having too many iconic characters M.I.A., the proverbial Final Nail, for me, wasn't the lack of $ nor the lack of a competent director and/or co-creators... the final, completely hammered nail was in NOT making sure J.P. Smith WASN'T among those M.I.A. Then there's JP's makeup 😑... (her lack of payable skills being part of our reality...for real... yeah, I know...right?...)
All of these Really Real Realities only cements the fact that M4 is unfortunately real... (LOL) that M4 really IS a "movie" (I guess, sorry for insulting ALL other movies), that it WAS really created AND that it has really ruined the entire franchise! I'll never be able to enjoy the original 3 again... I will give everyone hope though, hope in knowing I will personally wish every day from now til my last that there will never again be another Matrix movie of any kind ever made!
Shout out to Neo and Tiffany though... You Tried, for all of us you did do that much... and tyvm for that... you just weren't strong enough, not even with being The One(s)...not enough even holding hands!!!
Don't lose 2 hours and 28 minutes of your lives peeps! Coming from a die hard fan... cause I died inside...
