Rating: Summary: Finale delivers bang but mushy on the substance Review: Well, whether you hate it or love it, you have to hand it the Wach.. brothers for bringing us the Matrix Trilogy which raises the standard by which all sci-fi movies are now judged. Just like the 1st Star Wars spawned a generation of new movies, so too has/will Matrix. The audience will expect no less.Although the original bordered on the metaphysical, the sequel 2 and 3 appeared to be more a mish mash of the same themes. It's like driving around the block looking for the right road, only to come back to where you started. So what was Neo? Who was the Oracle? What was all this all about? For myself, Neo was the only human able to confront the Matrix. Ironically instead of being the saviour being he is supposed to be, he's like a young child learning his first steps to walk, before he saves the world. The Oracle knew it all, but needed to set it all up in order to rid her nemesis Agent Smith. The Moral Fibre? Beats me ... that's why only 4 stars. But still a must see for all it's CGI glory.
Rating: Summary: I LOVED THE FINAL SHOWDOWN! Review: This movie is the best of all! I thought it was fantastic! If you did not get the Storyline you can figure it out by buying these in order The Matrix, The Animatrix, Enter the Matrix , The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions. Have fun!
Rating: Summary: Whoa. Review: This one is in my opinion, the best in the trilogy. But this one really tests if you really care enough to see more of the characters and their situations. Special Effects-Incredible. Better than the first two. The Zion war is really cool, as is the Super Brawl between Agent Smith and Neo. Awesome. 10/10 Acting-The same as the first two, cheesy and sometimes confusing, but less of the latter. It's still good though, for what's there. 8/10 Sound-These movies introduced some interesting sound effects never before heard. This movie continues the tradition.10/10 Story-A lot of people said this entry in the trilogy lacked a good story. I felt that it was a better plot than Reloaded, meaning nothing has been dumbed down. The story is great, but I have a complaint. The ending was so unbelievably infuriating, i almost stood up and yelled so many profanities. You may too. But when you get mad, remember this: the story isn't over. Next year, a massive online multiplayer game is coming out, continuing the story of the humans and their struggle with the machines. It's being developed as we speak. With that in mind, go to the movie with your expectations down. It will work better that way. You may be pleasantly surprised at how smashing this movie is. Cheers.
Rating: Summary: Th Matrix Revolutions Review: This movie was an execelent film. Even though they were only in the Matrix like 2 times. The special effects were still really good. The battle for Zion between the machines and humans ends.The Street fight between Neo and Agent Smith. Though the ending was kind of corny.For those of you who saw it know what I'm talking about. I give this a 4 star rating because of the good special effects and good plot line. I can't wait for it to comes out on DVD April 6, 2004.And for any LOTR fans out there The Lord of the Rings he Return of the King comes out on DVD May 25,2004.
Rating: Summary: An Amazing, Lackluster Disappointment Review: It is unfortunate that this series of films turned into such a disappointment. The most interesting story angles and questions posed in the previous movies were either completely ignored later on, or brushed off as trivial -- thus creating several inconsisencies. The series should not have begun with such heavy intellectual and philosophical tones if they were to be given last seat and only continued in a half-assed manner throughout the subsequent films. Though many may have just wanted the entertaimnent derived from the visual effects or action sequences, with which I don't argue, the films have no maintained integrity beyond this point. Matrix Revolutions has a miserable script, sloppier effects than its predecessors, and many cut-off and unfinished story lines. And since it has become more action-oriented, the sub-par acting is not unexpected, but still proves annoying. Furthermore, because it did not live up to what is expected of "the final installment", it became an even grander failure. If the Matrix series had held true to the original, I think it would have been incredible. But apparently it was more important to have a bloated box-office-topper than a good film.
Rating: Summary: The Beginning of the End, Or the End of the Beginning? Review: You know how it is.You've just found out you're not mankinds saviour, but you can bring down sentinals out of that dream world thing you're trying to stop and then youre stuck somewhere between it and the real world. Or maybe you dont. Well, Neo (Keanu Reeves)finds out about it. that is the start of the "final" film of the Wachowski Brothers mind-blowing science fiction trilogy. What follows the start is a fantastic gravity defying battle between the Marivingions thugs and Morphius, Trinity and Seraph, a veryconfusing chat with the Oricle, and a attack on zion scene that beats everything from the sequel (even THAT car chase). It can be safely said that the first hour and a half is the most fun I've had in the cinema since "Pirates of the Caribean" or "the Two Towers". It certainly beats Reloaded. So with a heavy heart I will explain why it lost a star. The end fight between Smith and Neo was the biggest anti-climax in cinema history, and the end was so unbelievable it made the end of Reloaded look like a genuis' work. I would put money on the end being changed by Warner for the possibility of another sequel. The Wachowski COULD not have wrote this end. By all means see it, but true fans beware, you will be angry.
Rating: Summary: Best movie of the trilogy! One of the best movies ever! Review: Without big expectations I went into the film and I must admit that I was not only pleasantly surprised, but I was completely blown away its simply awesome! The film has at last again a good story and the old atmosphere, besides such boring scenes from Reloaded are missing. Althoug there are many paralels to Return of the Jedi which I dont want to mention here. The film is simply fantastic, and I found it even better than the first part of the Matrix trilogy. Only the end and the german synchronization is pure garbage, I hope they will release a Director'S Cut DVD.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Ending to Absolute Hotness Review: Okay, i am a die hard Matrix fan so some of you may not agree with my views. Although i think most of the trilogy is explained in the first movie, i disagree that it is the best. Reloaded had excellent fight scenes and an awesome car chase. Revolutions is such an awesome ending. It did not let me down, as i was shaking in my seat. The ending to me was a bit of a surprise, and as Reloaded, it ended in sort of a cliffhanger. I say, go see it, it is worth it. I would have payed $20.
Rating: Summary: 300+ Reviews should tell you how great the movie is alone. Review: Show me another movie with this many reviews. The code of the matrix increases with each installment. The culmination of equality is blasted into a phenominal finish b/w smith and neo. It took one week to get over the depression of it being over. LOVE'D IT TO INFINITY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: they call that an ending? Review: well, that certainly wasn't as good as expected. Revolutions is in effect just one long action sequence. Just as Reloaded had a lot of mumbo-jumbo packed in between with action, Revolutions has a whole lot of action with just a few scenes of mumbo-jumbo. The mumbo-jumbo lines fall predictably to enigmas like the oracle, Agent Smith, Morpheus and the Frenchman. In Revolutions, the Sentinel army that was digging to Zion in Reloaded, reaches the human city and there follows a heroic battle. Neo and Trinity have other fish to fry and do not get much air time due to the metal flying in Zion. Revolutions fails as an ending because there is no decline from tension. I don't want to spoil any secrets, but the good are not shown to be rewarded, the evil is not eliminated, in fact it is not clear what will happen to the Matrix and Zion. It is as if the directors went "Oops, its two hours long already, just cut it off, wherever it is." The Oracle's actions are never fully explained, or why Agent Smith has corrupted even beyond the control of the Architect. It's difficult for me to elaborate without letting some cats out of the bag. To put it succintly, the Wachowski brothers seem to be leaving the way clear for a fourth movie. On the positive side however, you can depend on Revolutions for what has already been effectively delivered in the first two movies: plenty of CGI action that keeps up the pace and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The battle is fantastic and the Sentinel invasion truly conveys fear and awe. Apart from the APCs moving like metallized gorillas, the human defence is breathtaking. The much acclaimed showdown between Neo and Smith too is very well brought out. Thankfully, the directors do not repeat what they did in Reloaded and break into bullet-time continously and seemingly just for the heck of it. Instead, the slower shots are well-timed and exciting. So the overall verdict is that Revolutions is good as a movie by itself but fails as the ending to a trilogy.
