I have been expecting this film to be terrible. The previews were God awful and to be honest, the movie was just as bad. I rarely walk away from a film with a bad feeling in my gut. If I do, it's because either: the movie is bad or I don't feet well. This movie was just so terrible. Everything from the convoluted lack of story to the changed actors and the flashbacks to the old films to the one-liners sprinkled throughout..it just amounted to a really terrible time.
SPOILERS!!!
==============================================
This movie was SO BAD that they broke the fourth wall just to explain to the audience why exactly we have a fourth film. More or less it boiled down to this:
"The studio was going to make a fourth Matrix movie..either with or without us. We had to get onboard or get out of the way." Not only did we get that insult to the studio explanation but we got pieces of "writer's exposition" meaning they showed the "creative minds" behind making the matrix film by showing complaining producers/writers.
Even the scene after the credits was pretentious insults slung at the studio. This was such a bad movie and I feel like I was just divorced by my franchise I loved so much.
Oh well at least I can watch the first 3 movies+the Animatrix again and again.

only the first matrix movie was good
the 2nd and 3rd movies suffered from what the star wars prequels suffered from. Sometimes throw away lines or a little dialogue to develop backstory is enough. you don't need a bunch of movies to show everything and it's never what we imagine before the movies are made explaining it
take Zion for example. you know nobody imagined some stupid caveman rave with a bunch of boring people leading everythin when the first movie came out
