10 Movies That Hated You For Watching

10. The Matrix Resurrections

The Matrix Resurrections is a film that exists in spite of itself. 

Director Lana Wachowski made no qualms about voicing her disdain for the fact that Warner Bros. decided to dust off her long-dormant sci-fi IP, even straight-up having characters vocalise the studio's desperation within the movie itself.

Warner Bros. were going to make a new Matrix movie with or without the Wachowskis' involvement, and so Lana hatched an unhinged plan to make a scorched Earth sequel that's basically the furthest thing from what the bean counters - or indeed most fans - actually wanted.

This sledgehammer-subtle meta sequel feels like a quasi-parody of most Legacy Sequels, fully aware of its own redundancy and the creative bankruptcy which motivates its existence. Is it any good? Most fans seem to think not, many feeling that the film is more of a cinematic "s**tpost" protest against Warner Bros. than an earnest attempt to make a fourth Matrix, which would be absolutely right.

That audiences responded by rejecting the sequel outright, resulting in a massive box office flop, probably put a perverse smile on Wachowski's face.
