MODERATORS
I agree with the comments here. It's not very good but they go so far out of their way to laugh at themselves and the studio for making the film that it becomes charming. There are a lot of 80s / 90s sequel movies that make weird choices instead of rehasing and I'd much rather see something I'm not expecting. They know full well that a direct sequel would never please the fans so they basically destroy Matrix lore. I don't think Neo fires a gun which I found incredible as statement on the previous movies. So yah not good in the traditional sense but it's quite original in its post modern take on internet fandom, studio forcing sequels, lack of originality, commenting on not giving the audience what the think they want, etc.
It's so tongue in cheek it reminds me of a song called Space Game by MC Lars. "I've been post post modern since junior high!"
