There's so much filler in those movies that it gives the Hobbit trilogy a run for its money.

I don't understand the Michael B Jordan love. He's an average actor with absolutely zero charisma. Is it basically because he's the only halfway marketable young black actor now? Hell dust off Will Smith or go get John Boyega or something. At least he has some screen presence and charm.


Agreed. But in their defense, Keanu doesn't have the most charisma either. Don't get me wrong, he was perfect for the role. But the only time I really remember much charisma from him was in the replacements when he screams "It's to the left!"

Instead of a reboot,

If they wanted to maybe make a film or trilogy focusing on another era of "the one" that may take place hundreds of years in the future or the past,


Too much work.


Easier to just cash in on the same story.

Except make Neo gay this time.






Seriously, it pisses me off when they do these "reboots" of iconic franchises that would be better served writing them as chapters of the same story universe. Jurassic World is an example of pulling this off....and look what they did.


Now look at the Ghostbusters remake.

He isn't terrible either. Friday night lights, Fruitville Station, Creed, all winners for me. Don't get me wrong he has his lowlights too, but don't most actors.

The only way I think this will be any good is if it is a prequel to the first Matrix that goes into the machine take over.

I disagree. I think he is a good actor.

Friday Night Lights seasons 4 & 5 were my favorites of the entire series because of him. He was very, very good in Creed and Fruitvale Station.

I'm actually a bit bummed that he is doing that superhero movie Black Panther. I wish he'd stick with the dramatic roles.

To be fair neo was supposed to be black but that guy wanted to make a wild wild west movie and fight a giant spider.

i'm not saying like "this will ruin my childhood" or anything but this is just stupid. the whole reason the first movie was a hit was that it was slightly out of the box and had cool visuals. we already know the trick and visuals are so over-done these days that it's very difficult to be novel
