The buddy-cop television series Limitless spin off series is superior to the Bradley Cooper movie of the same name.

The recent Matrix movie is certainly bad, but I strongly believe that a single change would have been cool: in the scenes where it's revealed to the viewer that Neo looks like a different man[1], he should look like Cypher.
