Highest body count in a movie (236); also made by a one hit director.

Kurt Wimmer might have an unwarrented ego larger then Russell Greer's, but his idea for 'gun-kata' made for a couple of absolutely BADASS fight scenes in that movie, especially the final pistol duel with DuPont.

It's too bad his next effort was laughable crap in both actual directing and especially the fight scenes which evolved exactly the WRONG way in Ultraviolet, turning a somewhat stiff but beliveable looking fantasy combat style into a retarded gun/sword ballet where one swing of a sword kills 8 faceless mooks who collapse into neat geometrical patterns on the floor with almost no blood to be seen. Movie was absolute trash. It had to be the only fight-heavy action movie that has ever started BORING me less then half-way though.

The fight coordinator came up with the straight armed, patterned gun 'kata' because that's how Karate kata look. The shitty flowing, anime looking style in Ultraviolet is all Kurt's vision.

Although Toombs Ferdinand Daxus was wonderfully cheesy.

Apparently the Merovingian, the best part about the sequels is in the new travesty and I'm tempted to watch just for that. Would that be a mistake?

just finished watching, the movie drags; I thought I was going to hate Bugs, but I ended kinda liking her, but she and the rest of the cast that are not Neo, and Morpheus just feel like extras, I don't even remember their names

Yes, it would be a mistake. For me the Merovingian's lines were the absolute worst of the meta-commentary this movie vomits out in your direction. If you are morbidly curious, just watch his lines on YT or pirate the movie and jump to the moment of his cameo. His lines are hamfisted and largely out of context, even more than the rest of this movie.

I have no desire to watch this movie ever again, but I gotta say I admire Wachowski for gleefully burning $200 million of Warner Brothers' money and giving the double-middle-finger to the audience to ensure that no one fucks with the IP for a long, long time. This might be the most expensive troll in history.

Given that's literally been the Wachowskis signature move for a decade, I am genuinely shocked WB is surprised.

"Remember the Wachowskis?"
"The shmucks that haven't made a profitable movie since the last Matrix movie?"
"The morons whose last decade of work lost our studio more than a billion dollars?"
"The hacks behind one of the most expensive failures in the history of Netflix?"
"The pair of wackos where no other studio in Hollywood is dumb enough to keep offering them work?"
"What about em?"
"They still have those blackmail photos of us."
"..."
"..."
"... fine, sign off on another Matrix movie."

Well tbf, they did write and produced, although not directed, V for Vendetta, which was a financial success after the Matrix, so there is that.

Ninja warrior, which they directed, may or may not have been financially successful, there is a debate about such because unknowable factors

That movie was fucking awful too. The budget 80s movies "Enter the Ninja" and "Revenge of the Ninja" told a more coherent and interesting ninja story ffs. I hope it hemorrhaged money.

I have a question for anyone still active on this thread.

Do you think Resurrections or Revolutions is better?
Click to expand...
While they're both bad movies Revolutions is by far the better film. It gives the needed capstone to the trilogy and ties up most loose ends to the point that Resurrections was never needed. Whether there should have been the first trilogy at all is another debate. It's funny because it's been two weeks or so now since I watched Resurrections and every time I think about the movie or read this thread the only emotion or thought that crosses my mind is "why does this movie exist"?

TV Tropes users think Revolutions has been vindicated by history, with questionable reasoning as to why.
