Do we need another entry in the 'Matrix' series? - Baltimore Sun (blog)

Keanu Reeves reportedly told a class at the London International School of Performing Arts that the Wachowski Brothers had already plotted out scenarios for a couple of new "Matrix" movies to be made in 3-D. Do we really need another "Matrix" movie?

Sure, the first was dynamic and endlessly intriguing. But didn't the second and third ones prove that some sci-fi pop fables are better left cryptic and unexplained?

"Ologies" are as risky for sci-fi fantasy movies as "isms" are for politics. "The Matrix Reloaded" wasted much of the goodwill of the first movie in gaseous speeches about theology, ontology, mythology - oh, just name an ology.

The allure of "The Matrix" resided in its mix of teen-rebel attitude, ominous yet sexy black-leather style, thinking-adolescent's gravity, and amazing chop socky. But "The Matrix Reloaded" sunk under abstract dialogue that went in one ear and disappeared before it could go out the other. So forgive my possible lapse of memory, but weren't there endless groaners like "We can never see past a choice we don't understand?"

On the bright side, "The Matrix Revolutions" blended feather-brained, starry-eyed camp and rock-'em-sock'-em spectacle - so at least (for my money) it was more entertaining than the second Matrix film, which hung in the air like a noxious cloud. But that's not saying much.
