I have been a huge fan of the franchise since I was a kid in the 80s. I didn't expect a whole lot from this one apart from nostalgia and it was only released on Netflix. I was wrong, it was one of the best action/comedy films I've seen in a long time. The cameos were expected, the characters were great, and aside from a couple gags, the member berries were kept at a minimum.

Joseph Gordon Levitt and Kevin Bacon were a great addition to the cast. Taylour Paige was good but a few lines delivered seemed forced and unnatural, but overall she was another great addition. The cameo later in the movie also put a large grin on my face being a Happy Gilmore fan too.

Lana Wachowski failed to capture the magic of the Matrix that the Wachowski brothers created. The story is self aware that it's being forced by WB to pump out another movie. It is more of a jab at studios than a proper 4th installment of the series. The movie had too much member berries and not enough actual story and direction. The action shots were so zoomed in that it didn't feel like I was watching a Matrix movie, you couldn't see the fluid movements.

This is one of the scariest movies I saw when I was in grade 4, but now I rewatched it and it's actually pretty funny. It's a horror comedy, but doesn't excel in either, but is a well balance of both.
