The new one was underwhelming. They should have stopped with the original three.

They should have stopped with the first one.
And now get off my lawn!

And not get a fantastic sequel?? M2 was fantastic and the 3rd one was good too

I thought the second one was weak, the third one was ok though

The new one is just the first one redone.... The parallels were so forced though so hard the message was drowned out

The writing is great, it's where they meet Hollywood that the films start to flag. I mean, even from the premise - the machines using us as batteries is stupid, the original idea of them using us as processors is way better

I truly believe Resurrections was a purposeful flop to demonetize/kill the series to prevent WB making additional sequels or maybe remakes.

Well, they are making more so that kills that

I think they just failed. The Wachowskis aren't writing or directing.

The third was shit, the fourth somehow fixed the mess the third left. And the first half of the fourth is awesome.
