Well, if "Reloaded" was a disappoint, then "Revolutions" is the crash at the end of the free fall. I am still trying to find one redeeming quality in this third installment of the "Matrix". Here are my main issues.
1. The final movie in a trilogy should answer all the questions brought about in the first two installments, not create more questions.
2. The actions sequences were over digitized and boring. The first movie had tight, well coordinated action scenes. The second movie had the highway chase scene , which was great. This third one fell completely flat in the action department.
3. There was more cheese in this movie than in the entire state of Wisconsin.
4. The acting in this movie makes "Dude, Where's My Car" look like it was snubbed at the Oscars.
5. The ending was totally deflating. One is left thinking, "Is that it?". Perhaps the muddled ending, rife with religious analogies is supposed to engender philosophical debate...instead, you're just left knowing you'll never get those two hours or your 8 bucks back.
In conclusion: The Wachowski brothers made an awesome, trend setting movie in the first "Matrix", then proceded to prove that Hollywood gets to everyone in the end. This one isn't even worth seeing just to know how it all ends. If you have seen the first two, you already know how it ends...oh sheesh, I sound like the Oracle there.

Okey, so i take it your telling us to wait till it comes out on Video ?? Gawd I was planning on that anyway, never really cared for the Matrix that much. Now if your talking the Lord of The Ring's, Thats a differant story, have to go see Return of The King tonight. if its half as good as the other two, I will not be disappointed

1st one was pretty coo... 2nd one was pretty coo, but cliffhanger endings suck balls... 3rd one... uh... i dunno about the 3rd one... the Animatrix--with its tangle of different stories--made more sense and was more entertaining....
i only really went to this 3rd installement cuz Agent Smith is such a loathesome villian... all i got from this movie other than that was decent eyecandy (if you HAVE to see it--you know who you are--and you can't watch it on a digital format, then watch it on an IMAX screen baked out of your head) and some wicked popcorn farts... when the credits rolled, i was left with a resounding "WTF?!"....
Return of the Jedi resloved stuff... Scream 3 more or less resolved stuff... the Godfather Part:3 resovled stuff... where's my fcuking resolution?! man--if they end up making a 4th Matrix film, i'm going to be very put out, cuz i know i'm going to go see it... bastards!
if yer not a Matrix fan... well... wait a few months and make it a Blockbuster night....
P.S. plot spoiler: everbody dies!

I have not seen this 3rd Matrix offering the call, "Revolutions". But I know how empty I felt after the watching, “Matrix Reloaded”! I knew that they had no clue where to go with the sequels. I don’t think the writers were prepared for the overwhelming success of the Matrix. It seems as though the decision was made to continue the story after having such great success with the first movie. Did George Lucas help write and direct these last movies? Watching the Matrix Reloaded I felt like I was watching Attack of the Clones. Crappy, stale acting, with whole movie based around CGI… Lucas seems to think that we all want to go watch 10,000 different things going on in each frame! I guess his hope is we will have, “Sensory Overload” we will forget that movie really sucks. That is how I felt about that Matrix Reloaded…
One thing I loved about Matrix Reloaded… How is that humans, who not seen one ounce of sunlight for 200 years and be that tan? I suppose as long as you got some hip music, and scantly clad women running around you should party down at “Club Zion” before an armada of robots come crashing down on you to destroy your civilization!
God Bless the human race… it’s good to know that as bad as it might get we will still have Tanning beds and need to Bump and Grind when all hope is lost!
