Summary: DISAPPOINTING ENDING TO A SERIES W/ GREAT POTENTIAL
Review: As much as the action may grab viewers in, this finale to the Matrix series DOES NOT deliver on a plot based level. Its as if the Hero's journey is turned on its head and instead of a victorious triumphant ending, the Wachowski brothers gave us a big fat Zerbert, just so that they could be "Original" Neo, with all his powers and abilities is turned into nothing more than a sacrificial lamb, but not for a VICTORY, but for coexistance or appeasement. Both Neo & Trinity's sacrifices for the survival of humanity do nothing more than evidently delay the inevitable, as the "Architect" does not believe it will last. This wishy washy ending left me and fellow movie goers in the premiere of this movie disappointed and wondering if the Wachowski brothers were clicking on all cylinders when the chose this ending. While, I will purchase this movie only because I own the other two as well as the Animatrix & the video game, REVOLUTIONS could have been A LOT better. PEOPLE WANT A HAPPY VICTORIOUS ENDING, man was already oppressed by the machines in the original Matrix movie. This movie led many to believe that w/ the aid of Neo, MAN WOULD WIN AGAINST MACHINE, not the wishy washy, lets have peace & coexist garbage. After all that the machines did to not only try to wipe out what was left of humanity, but to also grow them to use as a power source, how could man peacefully coexist with them?! What if the Rebellion , instead of destroying the 2nd Death Star & defeating the Empire, had struck up a peace treaty with the Empire in STAR WARS, or what if the free peoples of Middle Earth let Sauron take over their lands & gain ultimate power & put them into eternal fear and slavery so that they could merely exist in the Lord of the Rings? If that had been the case neither of these grand sagas would hold so strongly in the hearts of people everywhere. While I would give the series overall at the most 3 stars, I give Matrix Revolutions only 1. The Matrix series, because of its strange second chapter and defeatest final chapter will not stand the test of time that the Lord of the Rings or Star Wars will. Its too bad, because it had the potential to.

Summary: This is what you get when you try to stretch an idea too far
Review: despite what the claims are, this isn't the third part of a
trilogy; it is the second half of a sequel of a film that
should have been left alonethe original Matrix was a complete story that stood alone (with
all the novelty and originality that others have pointed out) Reloaded/Revolutions are a single film, cut in half, that
couldn't escape from the corner the first film painted them
into. the main problem being that Neo ended the original film as a
virtually indestructible super-being; this meant that the
'challenges' in the sequel become increasingly over the top
(and even silly) combine that with the total change in style in the second
installment (seemed more like a video game than a film -- go
here, get this key; go there, talk to that person, get a clue,
etc etc), and dissapointment was sure to follow i must admit that the scenes in Zion really bothered me, in that
the squidies just flew around waiting to be shot.

Summary: decent.
Review: this movie is pretty sweet, i think they wrapped up the triology the best way possible. people who are not really into the first to movies will most definetly not enjoy revolutions. on the otherhand, i can't understand why these reviews are filled with flamers of this movie that claim to be fans of the first two movies. i belive this movie is more deserving of a 4/5 stars but i gave it 5 to help tip the balance (even though it wont really do anything).

Summary: Revelations
Review: I saw this movie on opening night and afterwards, I didn't know what to think. It definitely didn't feel like a Matrix movie, yet there was something strangely familiar about it. For days, even weeks, I kept thinking about this-something few movies have done. So I kept debating in my head whether I liked this movie or not, whether I was blown away or disappointed. I suppose that if a movie can leave such an impact on me, there must be something about it in which I enjoyed. I can say for a fact that I thought the gun fight in the Hell Club lobby was definitely an early highlight of the film, the battle of Zion was very impressive and I thought Agent Smith was very creepy. One of my favorite scenes was when Neo and Trinity fly above the dark grey clouds and actually see the clear blue sky and the moon. It's almost breathtaking how beautiful that was (yeah, cheesy I know but still...lol). So all in all, I guess I really did end up liking it a lot. It may not have been as great as the first Matrix (or even Reloaded, in my opinion) but then what could live up to the majesty of the first one?

Summary: So worth it
Review: Did this movie live up to the original Matrix? No. But then agian, what could. Instead, what we get is the stunning conclusion to the trilogy. Wonderful special effects add to this profound story of The One. I was so excited to see this movie opening night, and it did not let me down. Some people left confused, or disappointed, but I think the ending gave us all exactly what was necessary. We start off with the required explanations to the cliff-hanger of Reloaded. Then we're off. The story of our race desperately trying to save the last human city, and survive these relentless machines bent on our extinction, is a rush to the system. Meanwhile, Trinity and Neo are off trying to save humanity with a seeminly foolish plan. This explains all of the loose ends if you're able to see it. And the ending? The final confrontation between Neo and Agent Smith is greater than I could have hoped for.

Summary: The Matrix FoReVeR
Review: I'm a big real big fan of the Matrix. I'm 12 year's old and i'm a female. I think this movie is better than all the matrix 1 & 2. The first movie had a sense if I was really in a computer world control by machines. The second was a little better than the first. It had an other sense of Neo being in control of the matrix until Mr. Smith showed up.The third movie is more intense with lots action. It had all tight graphics. I really like the special efects that made this movie possible. It's to bad that this last part gave away A best ending to the trilogy of the Matrix. I hope no one ever but I mean ever comes up with a movie as good as the MATRIX TrILLoGy. MATRIX FoReVeR

Summary: why oh why did they do it?
Review: The bros made one of the best films ever made (in my opinion) with the first film.Imagine the anticipation for star wars, it being awful and then watching the matrix the same week and just being blown away? that was how it was for me. A not entirely original universe had been created by the bros, combining a compelling and deep story line along with groudbreaking action and effect sequences. Millions upon millions must have been excited about the second movie. And what a let down in was. It dragged and dragged, and the zion sequences were almost embarrising. If being a survivor means growing dreads and going to a rave each night, well i think i would rather pass.....
then came the third. I really hoped they would have learned from the previous film, but unfortunately, what they produced was a film way worse than the 2nd. I would advise any matrix virgin to just watch the first one and not bother with the rest.

Summary: The Middle Road
Review: I think the old sports adage is "somewhere in-between". Thats the category "Matrix - Revolutions" falls into. Is it a 5 star movie? No. (But the first was.) Is it a 1 star movie? No. It's somewhere in-between. I think I can say I was honestly disappointed in this movie, based on its predecesors success. Too much CGI, too much philosophy, too much. Less is more; the Wachowski brothers and George Lucas would do well to realize that great technology does not equate to great film making. In any case, I'm waiting to purchase the Matrix Trilogy in a pre-packaged collector's edition.

Summary: Great!!!!!
Review: This movie was a perfect ending to a Trilogy. Even though most sequels do better than the original, this one was just right. It answered all the questions you were wondering from the first two, and even though the ending is not what I expected it was perfect. Others viewers who watched this and said it sucked, they were expecting other things than what the movie was actually suppose to tell. It told a great story and ended with all answers to questions some people might have had. I gave it 4 stars because it could have kept going and finished a little more better, but all in all good ending to a great trilogy.
