I loved The Matrix as well. Let's ask a different question:
Has any soft-reboot in the last 6 years not sucked?
There is a whole post of examples upthread where they grudge-fucked member-berries and Cleveland-Steamered them before stealing cab fare on the way out.
Will they do the same thing here? Blue hair and pronouns says probably but we'll see. There's always a chance.

It only costs between 50-100 for 2 people to see a movie with a drink and some popcorn stop being a pussy and take the plunge. Even if it sucks you will be able to bitch about it before others can.

I mean yea this movie is goign to be woke as shit, thats a given, but the question is will the story hold it together since the action is likely going to be just fine to great like the others

dunno the exact ages but
21 Jump Street
Dredd
It?
Godzilla? i liked one or 2 of em
Mandalorian is great
but yeah most have sucked balls, especially in the last 5 years. This isn't a soft reboot though, its pretty much a proper sequel ala new Star Wars movies which all sucked, at least that brought back all the cast (albeit very poorly) while this one is fucking over Agent Smith and Morpheus

The Force Awakens was a complete Soft Reboot, almost to the exact beat. 21Jump Street/It/Godzilla/Dredd are more or less "remakes", new movies with the same source material; most are outside of the window I specified, though. Mandalorian is completely new.
Everything about this so far screens soft reboot with Trinity as Neo and Neo as Trinity, with some give or take. They have the dojo, they have Red pill/blue pill, they have deja vu, they have a Smithalike/Neo fight, I bet at someone point someone is going to say "I need guns, lots of guns", etc. I mean, it might not be as exact a soft reboot as the Force Awakens, and it might not be super woke. Here's to hoping you are right.

They had Hugo at one point. Not sure where the negotiations failed. The official version is there was a conflict of interest with another project, but maybe he thought the script sucked.

LANA: No, then you say it like this MR ANDERRRRRRRRRRSONNNNNNNNNN.
This is the 4th movie. Agent Smith has changed.
Weaving: I think I have enough experience with the character. Although it's been some years, Lana...
LANA: Like you have to take a piss!!! Leap forward with a little hop when you say it and stick your chin out.
Weaving: ....for fucks sake, it's just a table read...
Weaving: *flips cellphone calendar* I have another commitment on that date Mr. Wachowski-- I can't do it.

If the guess that Trinity is The One this time around is correct there might be mess of thinly veiled Smash the Patriarchy mumbo jumbo. Hugo didn't feel like playing a troon's version of a sexist pig for 90 minutes.

No way. Black Software Lives Matter!
Seriously, they aren't going to make a POC the villain. They didn't cast Lawrence Fishburne because its a action role and he is, ehum, in less than action shape these days, IIRC.
