Let's be honest, him and his brother have only done two good movies.


Bound and The Matrix and that's it. The Matrix sequels sucked, Cloud Atlas sucked, the Jupiter movie sucked, Speed Racer sucked and was an eyesore.

EDIT: I thought I wrote this on Lilly Wachiwski's page and didn't realize I put it on the general boards. Sorry for the confusing topic title.

Shouldn't that be 'her and her sister' nowadays?

reply

They were dudes when they directed it. Also, they still are dudes who identify as women.

reply

Or should it be them and their sibling. I don’t know what’s right and wrong anymore 🤔

reply

I just heard a news item concerning cervixs and the company(?) in question refers to "individuals with a cervix", rather than calling them women.

reply

I disagree. The Wachowski sisters have made at least 5 good movies by my count: all 3 Matrix films, Bound, and Jupiter Ascending. I haven't seen Cloud Atlas yet. Speed racer was their weakest film, but wasn't terrible.

reply

What are you talking about? Matrix is only one film.

reply

I was disappointed by the Matrix sequels. Part 2 felt like it was just a series of people asking questions non-stop and part 3 felt like it was just machines shooting.

reply

I confess. I loved all of them!! :)

reply

I wouldn’t even give them Bound. One good movie, and they have lived off that for years.

reply

I think Bound is a solid low budget debut. Nowhere near The Matrix though.

reply

They have milked the success of the matrix for far too long. They have nothing left to contribute.

reply

I have only seen Bound which was very good with a fine principal cast and a cute love story

The Matrix seemed like a bunch of hooey and I couldn't finish any part of it
(though to be fair most everyone seems to have liked them so I'm probably wrong)

reply

You have to check it out. Part 2 has some good action scenes but the rest of the movie is dumb.

You're not the boss of me Joe!

Bound. Great. Matrix. Great. Matrix 2. Alright. Matrix 3. Alrightish. V for vendetta. Great. Any of there movies since I haven't seen. I know they only wrote v4v but still,tis awesome.

reply

Screenplay maybe but the source material was written by Alan Moore. V for Vendetta was an OK comic book and the movie missed the point of it which is almost always the case with adaptations of Moore's work. Snyder's Watchmen did a decent job of adapting his work. I'll give that one credit.

reply

Yeah I knew V was a comic. But never read it. But I loved the movie. It wasn't perferct. Not even close. But something about it will always feel special to me. It ain't your average movie.

reply

I thought the sisters did a great job with Sense8.

Let's be honest, you just wanted to post this in general discussion to stir the pot by calling them brothers.

reply

Whoa, I didn't even notice I posted this on the general boards. I had Lilly Wachowski's page open in another tab and wrote it on this one by accident. I'm surprised I had as many responses as I did with a cryptic topic like that. I added an edit on my original post.

reply

Sure, joes 😂

She must think we’re all stupid.

reply

No really. I had no idea. I was wondering why I was getting so many responses. Now I know.

reply

I enjoyed the second Matrix but not the third.
