Summary: The least of the three
Review: Revolutions was easily the worst of the three Matrix films -- and after #2, that's saying something. To each of you giving Revolutions a positive rating, WEREN'T YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO THE FIRST ONE?? Seriously. Didn't you understand what the end result of #1 was? "Are you saying I can dodge bullets?" "No, I'm saying that, when you're ready, you won't need to." And, and the end of the movie, he sees through it all. But for #2 and #3, they had to forget all that. No, he's just an extra-tough guy after all. You can imagine the Brothers W discussing the matter as they planned their script. "How do we go from there? The Matrix has no power over him any more. No menace. What do we do?" "Hey, I know! We'll let him fly! That way, people will say, 'Yeah, he isn't bound by the rules!' But we'll forget about the rest of it, and he'll still have to fight." "But won't people notice?" "No." No, indeed. Basically, he's got the same skills Morpheus has, just better. And that's the opposite of the message of #1. And the ending of #3? Somebody said it brought tears to their eyes? I was about to agree, but then I saw that they gave the movie 5 stars. Hmmm.... ...

Summary: The only Matrix of the trilogy which moved me to tears.
Review: Hi! I will begin with the obvious. When it comes to being one of those "Die hard" fans,I am indeed-BUSTED!!! I was, at first disappointed with Reloaded. Evidently, these 2nd and 3rd parts to The Matrix are the type of movie I've stumbled upon once or twice in my life.These are the types of movies in which I learn and understand more with each viewing. Reloaded didn't take long to become a very special movie for me. The day it FINALLY came to my local IMAX Theater was indeed the day I left the theater with a good old fashion adrenyline rush. It blew my hair back-totally! When I saw Revolutions the day it was released, it kind of bummed me out that Trinity did not open the picture with one of her mind-blowing-and interest provoking stunts. Bravo Carrie-Anne Moss! Anyhow, I thought that Revolutions was most definitely THE most moving, emotionally speaking of course, than any of the three films. By the time Revolutions rolled around, and into our lives,it may have been just me-but I believe for most of the Matrix fans had, by then, grown a strong emotional attachment to the three main characters. Neo, Trinity and Morpheus were like old friends to us by then, and the scene both in the nightclub where Trinity proves her love for Neo, as well as the short conversation she had with Neo, prior to his "ultimate battle", if you will, brought closure to us all. When I say "us all", I mean the fans that were there from beginning to end-who were not empty-headed and could comprehend the philosophies as well as the pre-meditated world of the computerized Matrix-it's appearance, which "A lesser mind" could not pick up on (does greenish tinting ring a bell?)the hidden visual effects and the many wonders which, in our world have yet to be explained; aliens, werewolves, deja-vu's, among other things. The blue coloration within and around the ships as well as most parts of Zion. When I first heard on the promotions for Revolutions..."EVERYTHING THAT HAS A BEGINNING HAS AN END" indeed made me very sad. I'll never be the same again after The Matrix. You know why? Because all my life, I wondered to myself..."Why do so many things taste like chicken?"
FOOD FOR THOUGHT, CHRISTINA.........

Summary: The Matrix Laughable
Review: The first one was very well crafted. The second one, had too much in the way of fights and special effects that clouded the story. This one, just plain sucked. This movie had only special effects and fights. If you saw number two, well ignore Neo's choice to defend Zion and assume he just inserted himself into the Matrix. In the end, two hours of additional film later, that is all that happened.

Summary: Better than most third chapters
Review: Ok, even after seeing The Matrix Revolutions, I'm still a die-hard fan, but while this flick could have been better, there are many ways in which it succeeds in grand style. The action, the fighting, the drama, just the feeling you get after watching it is well worth it.The biggest problem that this third chapter has is that it leaves us hangin' in a big way. With the third chapter in a trilogy, you usually bring everything around full circle. This was not the case, and the ending seemed so out of place that it isn't even funny. Also, one thing that got my attention is the serious display by the females in the film. Trinity is the obvious example. To see what else I'm talking about, go see it, but, you'd probably have to wait for the DVD release. The Matrix Revolutions did another thing to me, it almost made me cry. Trinity will risk everything to save Neo, and that alone is a definitive moment in all the story. Also, it becomes painstakinly obvious that all bets are off in this chapter. Don't expect anything to turn out the way you want it. The action is hella better (maybe not better, but more present) in Revolutions than in the first two movies. I won't give anything away to those who haven't seen it, but when you do, get ready for a mind-numbing experience.

Summary: A big disappointment that doesn't live up to its prequels.
Review: It's a shame that with the concepts, the story, the characters and the fan base that the creators of this franchise had built, it all ends with this movie. WARNING: SPOLERS AHEAD! It has too many flaws. First, the solution for the human and AI war is collaboration, a concept hinted at in the first film and completely given away in either Matrix Reloaded or Animatrix (depending on which you watched first). No big surprising ending there. Second, Agent Smith is suddenly turned into the Darth Vader of Neo's Luke Skywalker for no valid reasons or explainable cause. If instead of asking the Oracle, humans had asked the Architect about how this unprogrammed glitch (Smith) was created from a programmed one (Neo) he would probably still be thinking about the answer. Third, so many characters were left underdeveloped it makes you wonder why they brought them back for this movie, i. e. the Merovignian and his wife, Seraph, etc. Fourth, Trinity dies and maybe Neo doesn't. Sure, she got Neo to the AI city and sure, she sacrificed herself, proving her true love, but there are a thousand other ways to convey this message without making the audience stop caring for Trinity and just want her to die already and stop talking. This transfers to Neo's character; he totally loses his motivation, and you stop believing in him too, then you are expected to be "shocked" upon discovering that he might still be alive. Why? Don't they know that we, the audience, don't care about him anymore? Also, Neo and Trinity, along with Smith, are the main characters and have the littlest screen time. Overall, the movie gives the impression of having been made in a hurry. The script doesn't make adequate use of the main characters or the previously established story arcs for each, making you think that it was being written as it was being shot. The editing killed the feeling of every climatic and emotional scene, going even against the musical score. The direction was incoherent to say the least, some scenes seem to fall into step with the previous films while others are so different, they leave you wondering if they belong to the same trilogy. My advice is to watch it, only so you can say you saw the complete trilogy and to enjoy the one good thing it has, The Hammer's run into Zion. Had I known that this movie would be so disappointing, I probably wouldn't have bought the other two films and the Animatrix on DVD.

Summary: Bad, Very, Very Bad!
Review: A series for uncritical 13 year olds of all ages.
The entire point of this dubious business seems to be cram every tired old B movie plot device into one story and power it up with a special effects budget that rivals the gross national product of some of the smaller European countries. Devotees rage at such criticism by citing the cool stunts, spiffy costumes and endless explosions that go on ad naseum. But we've seen this ALL before and done better elsewhere. The plot is just not there! And from reading about how this series came about I can see that the Wachowski boys spared no effort in using every hook and device they could think of to create a piece of merchandise that would return a maximum yield on the studio's investment.
The studio isn't touting them as great film makers because they make great films but because the Wachowski's have found a way of stealing money from children that's safe and legal.

Summary: Not for the faint of mind
Review: If you are a casual Matrix fan, someone who liked the first two movies for their gunplay, kung fu, and special effects, but didn't quite follow the subtleties of the intricate storyline, you will not like this film. Most of the story takes place in the Real World, where everything is dirty, clothes are raggedy and food tastes terrible. No, this film is for the serious Matrix fan. The star of these films, believe it or not, is the story. The special effects, cast, and action sequences are window dressing. Kudos to the Wachowski Brothers for staying true to their vision and not capitulating to pressure to give it a Hollywood ending. Matrix Revolutions may not be the critical or financial megahit expected, but it will take its place among the better movie trilogies ever made. Right now, aside from "Lord of the Rings" and Indiana Jones trilogy, there is none better, including the original Star Wars trilogy and the anemic 2nd trilogy due for completion next year.

Summary: "What a piece of junk!" - Luke Skywalker, Episode IV
Review: The first "Matrix" movie was excellent; the second, dispensible; this one is just useless. The title of this review references George Lucas, but a more appropriate reference might be to Shakespeare: "It is a tale told by an idiot/Full of sound and fury/Signifying nothing". I walked out of the theater thinking that I would likely have derived more pleasure from taking a ten dollar bill out of my wallet and ripping it into tiny pieces: the end result would have been the same financially, and I could have actually used my wasted time to do something useful and/or enjoyable instead. Not since the two most recent "Star Wars" films have I felt so disappointed by the latest installment of a once-viable franchise. Don't waste your money.

Summary: Great Movie, Maybe More to come?
Review: Some people I just don't understand. Yes the 1st Matrix Film was good, but the sequels had alot more of a plot to them. So many people loved the first film and thought it was the best movie they ever saw. But then everyone critizes the sequels and literally turn agianst what they once thought was fantastic. I for one enjoyed the entire Trilogy. The ending to Revoultions was disapointing, I'll admit that. But, I feel that maybe, just maybe in a few years down the road there may be more to this story then we all think. The Matrix is the best Sci-Fi Trilogy I have ever witnessed. As the Program 'Smith' once said, "It's not over."
