There's no way that a film that did what the first "Matrix" did is gonna
escape the above fate, esp when it's tied to a mega-corp like Warner's.
Capitalist reality selling the depiction of a machine-run slave-state
simulation and making big money from it's destruction (assuming the thing
existed to begin with). Impressive.

Apart from all that, did you enjoy the film?
