Laurence Fishburne sounds off on The Matrix Resurrections saying it '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.
Speaking in an interview with Variety, Laurence Fishburne, who played Morpheus in the original trilogy of movies, was asked if he ever saw last year's release. After answering in the affirmative and then asked for his thoughts, he replied"It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and it wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. But I thought Carrie-Anne and Keanu really did their thing. Yeah, that's what I thought.
As viewers may recall, Fishburne's Morpheus doesn't appear in the new film because it's set many decades after the previous movie. Plenty of references to his character are made however, Jada Pinkett Smith's Niobe recounts what happened with him after the events of The Matrix Revolutions including revealing that he has died.
