No Mutants Allowed

Reboot the matrix, keep the plot direction of 1st, remove the French doofus from 2nd (keep high-way chase) and throw 3rd out the window, and replace with predictably epic surface battle taking down the robots. How, you ask? How should I know, I'm going to pay to watch the movie, not fucking write it -

With the tremendous hype built by the first, I still don't understand how they let the story end with such a wet fart anticlimax, wtf were they thinking? Hype "Neo will take the robots down." Triology resolution, "Neo's helped give the Matrix a bit of a polish."

Why? Because the writers went full SJW tranny. That kind of mind split ruins stories. It should have been tightened up a bit and left on a cliffhanger instead of resolved.

Huh? Not sure if I understand you correctly, you'd prefer a cliffhanger at the end? Part of good fiction (music too, actually) is to play along with audience expectation (while disguising doing exactly this), it is part of the art, and it can fail or it can succeed. Expectation depends on how a story is presented then built up

So, I'm not saying all stories should end well or whatever, but that depending on how the story builds, develops and advertises itself, it should end accordingly. Matrix, from the beginning, hypes itself as a savior story, it hypes itself as globally encompassing, and as a good-vs-evil thing

In my opinion, from the getgo, it plants a lord-of-the-rings-esque confrontation coming, the excitement through 1st and 2nd movie revolves around Neo being one single man developing amazing powers. We cannot fathom how he will take the machine-world down, but his continued growth sows promise - we prepare to be baffled!

I was expecting an absolutely mindblowing feast of cinematic amazement. Needless to say, Neo merely kung-fu-ing Smith, for then to go blind, for then to keel over and die, did not match my expectations at all. I would prefer a cheesy, over the top "final epic battle", to the ugh "curveball" ending they gave us...

I think resolution can still leave room for growth. Maybe cliffhanger isn't quite the word. Something that leaves issues up for interpretation with possibility of a future movie that may never come. Matrix left people baffled as fuck in the beginning only to end with everything tied in a bow.

Haha and you said baffled too I see.

Wanna hang out and baffle? :v

Amazon is making a series.

Huh, wikid, and it says it won't do the LOTR but instead stories set prior. This explains the decision to make a series: By not following the book triology they can do whatever they want, including extend the series indefinitely for them juicy Blu-Ray Box Sets etc... which, of course, is dumb.

Its not much of reboot but more like adapting the entire appendices and huge lore info that can't be simply shown in 3x3 hours worth of film. Beside apparently we will get 2nd age content with possibly 1st age flashback.

If my guess right, the series might be nothing more but a huge advertisement for the future Silmarillion tv series.

I mean there are lots of cut content from the novel that should be in the films, now with the tv series in the making they wanted to include all of those.

If Sauron isn't hot, we riot

we need more hawt enemies. The white walkers shoulda been hotties. That's why I loved Witcher 3's representation of the Wild Hunt. They are humanized, they're good looking peeps, and their black, skeletal, monstrous armors are so clearly their own deliberate intimidation tactic

"human" enemies, employing deliberate intimidation is way scarier than "brutish" uruk-hai and stuf like that, imo

Witcher 3 copied alot from Tolkien Legendarium though, Caranthir Ar-Finiel is just straight up Silmarillion copycat of the same character name along with the concept of Elder blood (Calaquendi = Eldar elves aka the Elder Blood, mastery of both visible and unseen world).
