Rush hour 4?

[sdp]

They're both too old, movie should've been done ten years ago at the latest. But I'm sure the writing will take into consideration they're both last their prime and they'll be joking about that more than race this time around.
I'm glad it's happening, they have chemistry so it should get a few chuckles in the worst case scenario

So we're getting both The Mummy 4 and Rush Hour 4? Early 2000's is back, everyone!

We're finally done mining nostalgia from 80's/90's movies, now it's early 2000's movies time!

[sdp]

hell yeah, 2K nostalgia. I went from kid to teenager to adult in that decade.

The possibilities are endless. a new Matrix movie, Donnie Darko 3, Shia Labouf+Hillary duff crossover movie, Olsen Twins movie, The Dark Knight 4, Polar Express 2, School of Rock 2, A Juno remake but this time Juno is a transman who gets pregnant, Brokeback Mountain but this time it's 2 lesbians since lesbians were still sexy in the 2000s. All these movies with a nu-metal soundtrack.

I would hope they'd joke about more stuff than age or even race. There's PLENTY more to lampoon now than there was in the 2000s.

Speaking of such, it's passed time for Demolition Man 2.

God Matrix 4 was so bad I forgot it already came out. We already got a god awful Matrix sequel and it was even worse than 3.

Also forgot about Shrek 5 which has already been announced. We also already saw the return of Tobey Maguire and Hugh Jackman as early 2000's popular superheroes too. I'm not sure sure what else early 2000's movies there are to mine as a lot of them were just one-off movies or comedies.

Of course Quentin Tarantino's movies were all coming out then, the Star Wars prequels (which we already got sequels with and Obi-wan series), the Batman movies, Bad Boys with Will Smith got two sequels, etc.

[sdp]

I just remembered the rush hour tv series that came out during the pandemic.
That was the peak of woke and cancel culture, what did they even joke about. Did anyone actually watch?
Who thought it was a good idea to make a Jackie/tucker show with neither of them

And 5 is being made right now. And I believe 2 was the real dud of the original trilogy, but it's hard to look at 2 and 3 as anything other than 1 bloated movie.

4 really was disappointing. It's almost like you were mostly watching a movie about making a fourth Matrix movie, and not a movie itself. I think there was too much feeling clever going on with that.

[sdp]

I feel I'm the only one person who loved Matrix 4, it was literally made for me. I liked that it kept continuity with 2/3 while still telling those movies to **** off since they sucked. It's easily the best one since the original even if a bit of a requel.
The Matrix defined 00s movies, every movie is directly inspired by it with slow motion, black cool trench coats, etc. It took most of the decade before hollywood started aping other stuff.

Well we've been enjoying 00s nostalgia for a while now. This is why Tobey returning and x-men crew in select MCU movies were such big deals.
The 2000s was the beginning of the Superhero movies even if the cinematic universe that became popular in the 2010s hadn't exactly formed just yet.

The avatar sequels are sort of nostalgia of the 00s that's when it first came out, and felt new and every new movie was in 3D. Horny comedies are going to be hard to get people excited to actually remake when people can just goon easily on Tiktok.

2010s nostalgia is going to take a long time since only now are people realizing Marvel is slop, it'll take many more years before people are nostalgic. Have you had conversations with normies about marvel, they all speak of the pre End Game era as if it were some golden time and how much it sucks now. There's no way Disney can turn it around anymore.

THAT'S what you got out of 4? I didn't get that at all from it. Like the Wachowski that did 4 said, it was just a different sort of movie about resurrecting "mom and dad," with not a whole lot of interest in getting back to the superheroics of 2 and 3. Not because there's any resentment for them, but just because that's a radically different story than what's going on in 4.

Eh, they pulled it off with Lethal Weapon 4......

I would absolutely be down for that....

You have unique tastes, SDP. That movie was so dull that it the best part about it was that it bordered on parody of the original trilogy.

Still - I'd buy it on boomer-disc I suppose if one day they finally released a 4k boxed set that included the Animatrix. That cool anthology all but disappeared from pop culture.

Exactly. It wasn't even a "real Matrix" entry. It was basically a gay-power fantasy about being able to go back home. Psychology plastered all over that one...

[sdp]

If you want me to expand then sure:
The movie acknowledges 2/3 happened, but reboots it as "well the machines are still doing what they want even if humans are technically free". So it kinda goes back to the ending of the first movie where the power dynamic of yeah you have the machines but at the same time humans now have power as well. The movie in general is a love story about Trinity and Neo and it worked really well for me while at the same time setting up a universe where they can make new movies after this one. Which clearly didn't happen since this one bombed so bad. But yeah, I liked it but I understand how the meta commentary of the first 40 minutes filtered pretty much everyone.

That's another trend from the 2000s that should come back. Those weird Direct to video anime interquels of movies. Animatrix was great, Riddick got one of those as well, Batman Begins also had one. There's others I'm forgetting, Hellboy and some others.

They're making Matrix 5 right now. Like I just said.

[IMJ]

Yeah the second Riddick movie really drew me in, and I bought (and I think I still have) that animated bridge-flick. But then as I saw the rest of them I realized that the 2nd Riddick flick was the odd-man-out and that I didn't really like the franchise all that much.

Chronicles of Riddick sucked. "Let's take the murderous bad guy from Pitch Black and try and build a Star Wars universe around him... in glorious PG-13." The closest thing to it is, you know those Snyder Rebel Moon movies on Netflix? It's like that but even worse, I think.

[CyberCubed]

It's funny how many movie series were in their early installements in the early 2000's. Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise only had 3 movies by the early 2000's...can you believe that? Fast and Furious got their start back then and now have like 10+ movies, the Harry Potter movies just started, the James Bond movies with Daniel Craig had just begun, the MCU wouldn't even start till 2008 and we just had Spider-man and X-men basically. Batman Begins had come in 2005, the Star Wars prequels were still going, etc.

Man, feels like a lifetime ago.

[sdp]

I'm also a fan of Chronicles of Riddick and don't care for pitch black which seems generic.theyre different movies so I understand how one can like one and not the other. But I guess Riddick 4 might happen.

Depending on what you read, it completed shooting over this past summer or it fell apart on the launch lad.

Speaking of the Matrix...
