I absolutely loved it. The perfect blend of new ideas, great reasoning for the resurrection and sprinkle of nostalgia. Thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic with the villains. Double crossing and constant manipulation.
Yes the action sequences were quite different to the original trilogy in terms a of their style, but that’s the point no ? What they may be seen to lack in pinpoint choreographed hand to hand combat like the original (we still got a good few one on one fights with smith and neo in that style). They made up for that with the incredible visuals and slow motion shots ( best use of slow motion in action sequences I’ve seen for a long time ???)
Loved the whole thing but the the end of the second act and third act especially.
Quite underrated score too( love the wake up cover in the end credits)
Sooooo good to see neo and trinity on the screen again.
Oh also…
JESSICA HENWICK SUPREMACY!!!
In all seriousness both her and Yahya Abdul Mateen II were spectacular. Both are destined to be action greats of the next decade.
Was also great to see a lot of the sense8 cast getting some limelight.
This was the sequel I dreamt of.
