You Could’ve Kept That: 9 Movie Remakes and Sequels That Shouldn’t Have Seen the Light of Day - Page 9

Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions

How can you top or add to the legacy of a movie like The Matrix? I’ve come to the conclusion that you CAN’T after watching the movie’s sequels, Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions. Did we even need a sequel in the first place? Hell no, and making it so that Reloaded ended with a “to be continued” cliffhanger didn’t make it more intriguing either. And while I loved the action in the first movie, the last two were over-saturated with elaborate fight scenes that went on forever. There’s not one specific reason why these movies shouldn’t have been made, but a writer for TIME says it best: “…there is something alienating about it, maybe because it fails to fulfill its possibly loony intellectual aspirations. “All this for… what?” you find yourself asking. To which the answer comes back, as quick as a karate kick, ‘To gross at least $100 million on its first weekend, stupid!'” But then again, isn’t that the reason all sequels are made?

Which would you add to the list?
