    Most definitely an unpopular opinion. When the Matrix originally released it was a technical marvel, that moment Neo is dodging the bullets in slow motion was incredible. I think as the years have gone on the story has lost some of its charm because the wachowskis have been butchering the franchise to try and protect it in some strange way. As a standalone movie The Matrix story and technical implementation were phenomenal, as soon as they made sequels, and other movies started to copycat, it began to lose that magic

        He and I looked at each other in the first 15 minutes and just shook our heads.

        That never happened. You’re either just trolling or just severely revising history. My bet is trolling.

        Edit: looking at your comment history, you probably just don’t like trans people.

          Yesh, the first 15 mins is all action and then suspense as Neo gets the message about following the rabbit. Other than stylish execution, standard action movie stuff.

        I have some bad news for you. The books written in the 50s and 60s were inspired by prior books and included stuff taken from different religions.
