The matrix sequels definitely muddle the pacing and characters, and they struggle to fill the void left by the central mystery of the first film, but the philosophising and action are both as good or better than the first film.
Speed racer has already been critically reevaluated so I guess my wachowski hot take is that Jupiter Ascending is due. It’s idiotic but it’s a sweaty blast of pure cinema.
Well, yea, I agree. Nothing can beat discovering the Matrix. The first film has a myth mike quality to it that is mostly lost in the sequels
Aha, Jupiter Ascending ! didn’t really stick to this one, but I think a rewatch is in order becayse I think it’s been a decade and I’d like to try watching it while blazed beyond belief. I want to see if I mesh better with it in that state

action becomes mindless and boring when its in service of a non-nonsensical plot the viewer no longer cares about.
