Laurence Fishburne Says Matrix Resurrections Wasn T As Good As I Hoped

Ever since the first sequel to The Matrix was released, the idea of follow-ups to the 1999 hit have been a sore subject for many. The one-two punch of The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions for many was a death-kneel for a major franchise. Despite the two films having their fans, the lackluster response to those two movies was perhaps why the muted response to 2021’s The Matrix Resurrections wasn’t exactly a surprise. The most recent sequel only brought back three actors and though it had a better critical reception, it managed a franchise-low CinemaScore rating from the audience. Now one of the original stars has revealed their own mixed response.
