Will the John Wick trilogy end up being better than the Matrix trilogy?

John Wick and the Matrix are closely linked. The two directors of John Wick worked as Reeves' stunt doubles in the Matrix movies.

John Wick is being made into a trilogy. I'd argue that the first John Wick is a work of art just like the first Matrix. There's a lot of similarities between the first Matrix and the first John Wick. Both movies were successful but not necessarily huge hits. They were sort of ahead of their time and developed a cult following which, in the case of the Matrix, led to an immensely successful movie franchise. I see the same opportunity for the John Wick franchise.

However, the Wachowskis went off the deep end with the second and third Matrix movies, and since then their movies have sucked when compared to the first Matrix. In fact, nothing they've filmed since Bound and the first Matrix have come close to being as good as those two movies.

Will the directing team behind John Wick lose themselves in movies two and three like the Wachowskis due to fame, bigger budgets, and higher expectations? Or, will they perhaps end up making one of the best film trilogies ever?

For some weird reason, I think when we look back and compare the Matrix trilogy to the John Wick trilogy, John Wick will stand out as the FAR better trilogy. I truly believe the John Wick universe will prove to be one of the best trilogies ever filmed.

Fingers crossed.
