Interesting how you didn't do a review on The Matrix Resurrections. What would you grade the film?

I intentionally made this ranking longer than most of my rankings with only 4 movies because I wanted to talk about the movie more. I intended to do full reviews of the original trilogy. Wrote enough notes to do so, but then the month turned out to be too busy. SO I tried to share extra thought here.

I love the ending of Matrix Revolutions and how the sequels deconstructed the chosen one. For me and yes other fans as well it was satisfying.

Lets goooo the ranking I’ve been waiting for the first matrix is easily one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time

I loved The Matrix 1 and Reloaded. I like Revolutions. I thought Matrix 4 was good but it was confusing at times and felt a little similar to the first movie.

Matrix reloaded is incredibly underrated, it’s fight sequences easily match the first matrix

I didn’t mind that Revolutions ended in a peace rather than just the humans winning, and Id argue that’s a better solution to the conflict (especially if you’ve seen animatrix), but I see where you’re coming from. Also IMO the matrix sequels are underrated.

I 100% agree with you. Can’t wait until your next video!😁

Thx for doing this video I was waiting for this to come out

I will say Mr. Smith being in every movie actually helps them, it was really just the writing around Smith's character that screwed it up. There was a very obvious way to take they franchise that would have made it a very solid movie and that is the question of whether the Matrix is real or not, with the whole trilogy set around "Neo" and a huge nemesis toward Neo with Smith. Our whole understand of the Matrix is from Tom Anderson's perspective so turning this upside down with there actually be no Matrix but just an elaborate fantasy created by a guy that is extremely bored with his life would have really worked while not undermining the original trilogy. It would even explain why Neo was the only person that was super OP because who doesn't want to be the most powerful person in their fantasy World?

Well hey there, Sean. Merry Christmas

Okay so to kind of explain the end of Resurrections. The sixth iteration of The Matrix (which was present in the original trilogy) had Neo as the one, and the journey of the One should have ended with Neo returning to the Source. But in Reloaded, he didn’t do that because he wanted to save Trinity. So when NPH’s character made the seventh iteration, he added in the One code to both Neo and Trinity. He did this so that the One, when split up, would be useless. So when Neo and Trinity unite, they have special powers. But yeah, basically the movie didn’t really explain it well. I mean the characters spoke too fancy and too fast. So I get the criticism, but this is just here for explanation in case anyone didn’t get it.

Just came back from the 4th one: 4 = Matrix Revolutions (5/10) - Had some excellent action and visuals and concludes Neo’s story well and I love the design of the machine world but it got rid of all the philosophical conversations and character development I loved from the first two movies and replaced it with just CGI battles in the second half. As cool as the battle of zion was, it felt like something i’d see in terminator. Neo vs Smith was awesome though but ending was rushed. 3 = Matrix Resurrections (6/10) - Unnecessary but a decent follow up. Cool seeing how Neo and everyone including Ioh was doing 20 years after the events of the trilogy. Continues the themes of what’s real and what’s not, Neil Patrick Harris was really entertaining as a villain, had some cool cinematography and directing. Surprisingly the action, while still good, was not very memorable, I hate that it got rid of the green tint in the matrix, most of the new characters were forgettable and I didn’t like the recasting for Smith and Morpheus. Still, it could’ve been worse. 2 = Matrix Reloaded (7/10) - Some of the best action scenes of all time, Neo and Trinity are more developed, seeing Zion was so awesome, the Architect scene was an excellent subversion of the chosen one narrative and contains excellent philosohical conversations. Neo is way too overpowered in this movie, the story is convoluted and contains filler and the action and conversations can go on too long. 1 = Matrix (9/10) - Don’t think I need to explain why. What prevents it from being a 10 though is some slow pacing in the second act and characters such as Apoc and Switch being forgettable and unnecessary. Not every character needs to be develooed but give them some personality at least. Everything else from the action to the casting to the world to the script to the story is near perfect

Thanks Sean this was just what I needed to watch to restore my love for the original movie. You perfectly described what made the movie so deep and memorable which is the perfect antidote after seeing the new movie which by contrast felt pointless and disappointing. Thanks again for cheering me up

Great vid!

Great video.

The points you made about Matrix Resurrections were exactly what I thought about it.

Merry Christmas Sean.

My ranking 1)the Matrix Cz that's the only one I've seen

You articulate some good points on the franchise as a whole...🤔 I watched Resurrections recently with my Father and I don't think it resonated with him as much as it did with me. I really enjoyed the humans and machines living together harmoniously. But I think my Father is still waiting for Neo to fulfil his destiny and take down the machines and free humanity. Which I think highlights a point that you made that the goal posts were moved at the end of Reloaded. And made the trilogy disappointing if you loved the first film. Love your work! Have a good 2022! 🎉🎉

04. Resurrections 03. Revolutions 02. Reloaded 01. Matrix

i’d say 1. #1 2. #4 3. #2 4. #3

Chris Stuckmann just called; he wants his set back...

Haven't watched any of The Matrix movies, still want to hear what Sean has to say about them 😅

My ranking is in the order of release, the first being the best of course!

From worst to best: resurrections, revolutions, reloaded and the awsome Matrix 1999

My favorite is Reloaded with the 1st movie being a extremely close 2nd

Merry Matrixmas

Hey Sean! I’ve only seen the first 2 films and am gonna see the newest one tmrw I hope it’s not as bad as I hear😅

Hi Sean. I like your viewing on most of stuff. I just wanted to say that I always looked at the Matrix trilogy as 1 whole movie. And sure... "The Matrix" was much better than "Reloaded" and "Rev" but... It wouldn't be concluded whitout 2 sequels. That's why I never understood when people think there should be only 1st and no sequels. That's just my viewing of this franchise. Cheers. 😉

Great list. Because it's my list :)

5. Animatrix (6.5/10) 4. Resurrections (9/10) 3. Revolutions (9/10) 2. (Tie) Reloaded (10/10) 1. (Tie) The Matrix (10/10) The first two matrix films are tie, because they’re my two favorite matrix films.

The original is the best one! Definitely!

My ranking would be 5.- Revolutions 4.- Reloaded 3.- Animatrix (yeah, i know it’s weird to include it since it’s a compilation of short films, but why not? It’s good!) 2.- Resurrections 1.- Matrix

Sean in the Future Please Rank Kurt Wimmer’s Films especially Equilibrium he’s one my Favorite Writer/Directors he’s very Underrated

My ranking: 4. Resurrections - 8/10 3. The Matrix or Reloaded - 10/10 2. The Matrix or Reloaded - 10/10 1. Revolutions - probably my 2nd favorite movie ever

I wonder how different things would've been if Reloaded and Revolutions were one movie instead of two?

Completely agree with everything.

I noticed the animatrix was weirdly not mentioned. Although in a different format it is considered Canon and as much as I generally don't like cartoons or anima which the movie is I guess. It received very good reviews and I found it enjoyable. Although it functions as ?re of a sidequel/prequel and is in the same universe. The Washawskis had so e creative control! and the stories actually explain explain add to the mythology of the series. It details the original war between man and the machines as well as the machines takeover and creation of the matrix.

I loved this movie! It was such a great watch and the new cast was great! My ranking: 1. The Matrix 2. The Matrix Resurrections 3. The Matrix Reloaded 4. The Matrix Revolutions

1. The Matrix 2. Reloaded 3. Resurrections 4. Revolutions

I agree with your list.

4. The Matrix: Revolutions (4/10) I agree it felt like 3 different movies in one, and as much I liked agent Smith as a villain, I kinda wished they took a different direction 3. The Matrix: Reloaded (6.5/10) i thought it started off slow but once they got to the action, I was sold. I'm still not a fan of the subplot involving Zion but they made it work 2. Matrix: Resurrections (7.5/10) I was really high on it originally but the more I thought about it, the more faults I saw. I do like the use of meta in this movie and specifically how Neo is a video game designer, alluding to being deceived by what is reality. Furthermore, I like how they incorporated some humor and brought back old characters (even if it wasn't neccesary) 1. The Matrix (8.5/10) The action and visual effects are amazing in this film! Along with Hugo Weaving's performance and what I really like is the subtlety of the world and how we perceive the world differently. Although I kinda feel like Neo is a little too op and feels more like a video game character than a human and as a result, I found a hard time sympathizing with his case but overall it's a modern classic

I can understand the letdown of revolutions. Reloaded I keep changing my mind on it. Resurrections I mean I didn't expect more or less but still not convinced by story. In a technical note which may not be surprising I am going to have to go with the first film in terms of the narrative.

1. The Matix 2. Resurrection 3. Revolution 4. Reloaded.

1. The Matrix 2. The Animatrix 3. The Matrix Ressurections 4. The Matrix Reloaded 5. The Matrix Revolutions

4, 3, 2, 1 There is a HUGE leap in quality between Reloaded and the first one. The sequel is about half a good movie that I can have fun with, but the only redeeming quality of Revolutions is the Zion sequence, and the emphasis on love, thematically…and it had a dour ending. The setup of Resurrections is promising, it went too meta to the point of self-parody, was missing such iconic actors as Lawrence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving. It also didn’t feel like a Matrix movie in the action department; was lacking that style that even Revolutions had. It goes without saying that the original Matrix is the best!

I love the og trilogy. I thinkit's what the star wars prequels are to a lot of people on here. Liked them when they came out, like them even more now. Ressurections is shit 4. Matrix ressurections 3. Matrix revolutions 2. Matrix reloaded 1. The matrix

1. The Matrix: Arguably the best movie ever made. Not for Oscars or anything I’m just saying if you had to show somebody a movie and they had to like it or the world would end I think this movie would be a solid choice. Such a great film with an incredible world, characters, climax. He is the one might be my favorite movie moment ever. 2. The Matrix Reloaded: I think I like this movie more than most people. Neo catching Trinity and reviving her just works for me and is one of my favorite moments of the trilogy. I enjoy pretty much every action scene here (Morpheus with the katana is awesome!) and I kind of like the architect scene for how it changes the direction of the story. 3. The Matrix Revolutions: One of the best final showdowns ever! This is another movie that I think I like more than most. The mech battle is interesting to me. Is it as cool as Matrix action? No, but it does add its own unique flavor to the movie. The race to set off the EMP is thrilling and I appreciate Neo and Trinity’s sacrifice. The reason this movie falls here is because so much of it separates Neo, Morpheus and Trinity, which is something I don’t appreciate in movie series like this. 4. The Matrix Resurrections: If Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving were in this movie, it might be my second favorite Matrix movie. Maybe. The first 30 minutes are a little weird and it feels different from the original trilogy. The flickering back to footage of that trilogy is also a weird touch. But I really like the emphasis on Neo and Trinity’s love as I’m a sucker for that kind of stuff. The whole climax is awesome though it would have been better without the recasting. Yahya did a good job but Morpheus is one of my favorite characters ever and I’m just too attached to Laurence Fishburne. The character could have definitely been CGI’d if the MCU has proven anything. There’s no reason Neo would remember everything else perfectly except for how Morpheus looked. The same can be said for Agent Smith. He’s one of the greatest movie villains ever, and I know you don’t want to do an impersonation but the Smith here doesn’t act like Agent Smith. Him calling Neo Tom felt weird every time. He would have been a good new character but making him Smith pulls me out of the movie. I really liked NPH’s role in the movie as well as Jessica Henwick. I liked seeing that Neo and Trinity’s sacrifices had an impact. I liked Priyanka Chopra as Sati.

Matrix Resurrection did do this thing where it is 16 years from the original trilogy but is set actually 80 years from the trilogy so pretty much everyone aged but Neo and Trinity and Agent Smith took over a younger body

I watched the first matrix for the first time a couple days ago and I really didn’t understand it I might need to watch it again but there were some parts I liked a lot and then others I just couldn’t wrap my head around I might need a second viewing to see

I’d rank all four films the exact same way. I will say I wholeheartedly think in 10-15 years Resurrections will get a cult following or at least gain more appreciation. Great video Sean

Pretty much the same ranking as you, for a lot of the same reasons (though I think I had different issues with some of them). 5. The Matrix Revolutions 4. The Matrix Resurrections 3. The Matrix Reloaded 2. The Animatrix 1. The Matrix

It's kind of sad that the only one of the four movies we all universally love is the first one.

4.Matrix Revolutions 3.Matrix Resurrections 2.Matrix Reloaded 1.The Matrix (1999)

Obviously *The Matrix* is first, but where is *Resurection* though? 😮

My ranking 4.Matrix Revolutions 3.Matrix realoded 2.Matrix:Ressurection 1.Matrix

The first Matrix is inspiring and makes me think about life and my own purpose. The sequels just give me a damn headache lol

1. Matrix 2. Reloaded 3. Revolutions 4. Resurrections resurrections aint bad, i find no matrix bad, just the first one is better than the rest, resurrections is okay, just sad to see so many actors changed

Cool

1. The Matrix 2. The Matrix Resurrections 3. The Matrix Reloaded 4. The Matrix Revolutions

I have the same exact list as you.

My ranking: The Matrix (10/10) The Matrix Reloaded (8/10) The Matrix Revolutions (7/10) The Matrix Resurrections (5/10)

1. The matrix 2. Matrix reloaded 3. Matrix resurrection 4. Matrix revolutions

Mine would be Matrix Resurrections Reloaded Revolutions

The new one felt like a lifeless cog in the commercial machine. Yes, you have to make money but if you do, make one that everyone looks like they care about being in! Even Keanu seemed bored at times.

Matrix 1- We tried and we did great Matrix 2- We tried and we failed Matrix 3- We didn't even try

1. The matrix 2. The matrix resurrections 3. The matrix revolutions 4. The matrix reloaded

Am I the only one who loves "Revolutions"? In fact, ALL of them?

I love the matrix films no matter what directions surprisingly resurrections not Amazing wasn’t anywhere near bad like people said reloaded and revolutions

Hot take: I didn’t like Matrix 1 all that much, so I haven’t seen the others

#1. The Matrix #2. Revolutions #2. Resurrection #2. Reloaded That’s all that’s needed for me.

Im wondering...could u do another one of the matrix ranking but with the Animatrix movies??? Or are the Animatrix movies even worth A watch???

1. The Matrix (1999) 2. Matrix Ressurections 3. Matrix Reloaded 4. Matrix Revolutions

I haven't seen ressurections yet, but I'm a huge fan of the matrix movies. I loved the first two, but the third one was honestly terrible and the loose plot just led up to a big fight with cgi effects. I had fun with it, but I do hope ressurections is a better film.

My Ranking was exactly the same before watching this Video. I wasn't impressed by Resurrections,although I did think it was an upgrade compared to Revolutions.

The Matrix Reloaded is one of my favorite movies EVER, The best in the franchise in my opinion! Part 1 was AMAZING, it ended with Neo becoming The One, kickin ass and Flying off 🤯🤯🤯 I wanted more of THAT and thats what Part 2 gave me and i loved every second of it!!! The New Matrix is disappointing 😞

My ranking would be 4 matrix resurection 3. Matrix reloaded 2. Matrix revolutions 1. Matrix I'm not a matrix fan but just wanted to rank them

My ranking: 1. The Matrix . . . . . 2. The Matrix Resurrections 3. The Matrix Reloaded 4. The Matrix Resurrections The last three are nowhere near the level of the original movie, though I can have fun with Revolutions and the highway chase from Reloaded is so cool.

People, come on!!! The two words 'disappointment' and 'Matrix' should never be said in the same sentence. Period. Point blank, dot.

Imagine if The Matrix released in 2021-2022 and not 1999... Goated. Given where technology is today, I would have just preferred a remake or remastered version of the first two films. Just for the fans. Obviously may have to do some recasting but everything else should be completely identical.

Other than the action, I thought the new Matrix was really stellar.

I knew matrix 3 was at the bottom and matrix 1 was at top, the only reason I watched this video was because I wanted to see which one will be ranked higher, matrix 2 or matrix 4

haven't seen Resurrections and The Animatrix yet 1. The Matrix 2. The Matrix Reloaded 3. The Matrix Revolutions from what i've heard i'd probably like Resurrections more than Revolutions though, Reloaded i can't tell

I rank em : The matrix Revolutions Reloaded Resurrections Not understanding all the hate with revolutions either. Reloaded was fire with action and a good bridge into revolutions but it felt rushed and some scenes especially with the twins just felt out of place. Revolutions was a masterpiece imo, started off right after reloaded and felt more like the first movie at times, had a good split of scenes between the matrix and the real world. And understanding to make a truce to defeat the virus (smith). My only complaint with it was the ending on how easy he beat smith, would’ve liked a more convincing fatality finish. But still not understanding why all the hate lol. 23 year matrix fan here 🤙🏽

1.) The Matrix (10/10) 2.) The Animatrix (9/10) 3.) The Matrix Reloaded (8/10) 4.) The Matrix: Revolutuons (7/10) 5.) The Matrix: Resurrections (6/10) The new film I've watched 3 times already. I really wasn't blown away with it, but there are great story elements & concepts in the movie. But the action, special effects, soundtrack, and cinematography were just not what you would hope for in a Matrix film. Plus the recasting in the film were off. I figured when they were recast that meant there was goinf to be some insane crazy action sequences, definitely not that! The movie is growing on me more each day, but I still feel they missed the mark on some important stuff. What was the point of this movie? Was there no point? Is that the point? Lol! It was cool revisiting the universe though and glad to see Neo did not get TLJ Luke Skywalker treatment! I wouldn't mind seeing more Matrix films... but man, I wanna see something ground breaking and game changing like the first one. But oh well!

Resurrections is the only one I dislike. I actually really like 2 and 3

Me and my dad saw Resurrections (in IMAX baby!!) we went in very skeptical but we both thought it was great! One of my favorites of the year 1 The Matrix 2 The Matrix Resurrections 3 The Matrix Reloaded 4 The Matrix Revolutions

Can you rank the sharknado syfy franchise?
