Let’s stick to the trailer guys.

I loved the trailer.
I wasn't expecting much, but it's all I've thought about over the past few days!

The original Matrix is one of my favourite films, and I do like the sequels.
I'm looking forward to this

EDIT: I thought this was interesting...

Hot Fuzz!

Remember all this hoopla about them preferring not to do too many interviews and being "private". They were already into it. Matrix was also already full of this transitioning stuff they are known for today, I mean with all the agents being able to get into other peoples bodies including women, it's pretty obvious were their obsessions were, looking back on it. They just wrapped it carefully around stuff like Japanime and HK cinema and had the luck of being patronised by Joel Silver, who I believe was at least 50% responsible for the first film being so good.

The second and third sucked because Silver took a step back in the control department, and the Bros were full of themselves acting like wonder kids geniuses when in fact, they don't have shown with the sequels, or any later film, the skill that is obvious in the first film. The true genius is Joel Silver and in fact he created Matrix already it was called Commando.

In this trailer, I don't see anything new. The original film was new to western people because they had not been exposed to Japanime and HK action films then (at this time, it was still stuff only geek and nerds liked, not the general audiences), and it had Joel Silver pushing it all to the front. I'm guessing, with the new one, and no Joel Silver, maybe it's just John Wick out in the Matrix world, after discovering someone killed his two cats. It looks like a Netflix DTV with dodgy effects.

Excellent point. I think the top tier effects, especially the invention of bullet time, was another big draw that the later films couldn't top and often even match.

Matrix 4 Trailer
John Wick fans : "What is John Wick doing in the Matrix?"
Matrix fans : "He's beginning to believe"

LOL 

Does the leaked plot reveal that John Wick is actually Neo's persona within the matrix and that's why he's so goddam invincible?

If so, I'll see this. If not, PASS.

It does not, heh.

@Stamper - Any idea what Joel Silver's participation was in "Speed Racer". I just rewatched that this weekend and realize that it has held up well and the FX are top tier.

I think he may have been more involved, as it's a comic-book adaptation, just like V For Vendetta which he wanted to do for a long time.

The real comic-book fan always was Silver, as he wanted to do Watchmen and Sgt. Rock and others since the 80's. The Bros just were drawn into it by Silver, they seem to be to be sponge like people, who adopt the interests of people they work with if it helps furthering their own agenda and careers. The Bros didn't appear on the comic-book scene until they started working with Silver. (early 90's).

Silver was the guy passionate for comic-books, HK films, Japanime and Art (as well as architecture). I still to this day can't point out any real passion for this stuff coming out of the Bros.
