Better movie trilogy than The Matrix


Such a great trilogy of movies, much better than the Matrix trilogy he did. Don't get me wrong the first Matrix was great but as a trilogy it just fell apart.

Irony.

It certainly did. Although the first movie is overrated, too.

I disagree about that. Recently rewatched it and it's cool and smart as ever, in my opinion of course.

There's no point in the first movie of a trilogy being "good" if the other two turn out to be utter SHITE, now is there?

reply

Definitely better than the Matrix trilogy but finding this series slowly coming apart. The first two Wick movies were excellent. The third came off a little more ridiculous. God only knows what we're in for in the upcoming 4th installment.

The action and assassin society idea in these movies is stupid.

The second movie was moronic with everyone being an assassin in the last scene.

The Matrix was weak in the following films but at least it was about a philosophical concept. In addition, the film's name became a household word for when something unreal is happening.

The Wick films are just dumb cartoony action films with no meaning.

reply

Yes, this. I don't know how anyone can think this franchise is better than the Matrix considering an entire college course in philosophy could be based on The Matrix.

John Wick is just mindless fun.

This is on point except there is obviously some quality action in the first movie.

Well it wasn't hard to top, first film aside the last two films were a mess. John Wick trilogy definitely gave action cinema in Hollywood a kick up the ass. Tough to chose which is the best film, I'd go 3,1,2 and that's not a knock on 2 at all as it's a very good action film. But 1 and 3 are top notch. Keanu Reeves just cements himself as the action hero.

I couldn't finish watching the first john wick - didn't bother with the second and certainly not gonna watch the 3rd.

Matrix though - finished them all - and liked the 3rd film even more than the first (the second one was a bit of a letdown).

One of the reasons why matrix is vastly superior to john wick is because there are a few really talented actors in it - in john wick, the focus is on the least talented actor (not judging him as a human being - the rumor is he is awesome - but his acting skills..... leave a lot to be desired).
