Summary: This film is visually stunning!
Review: Philosophy, action, and humor are what this movie is all about. If you are into sci-fi and enjoy complex plots/stories with entertaining characters this movie has what you are looking for. All of the hype has been fulfilled. Even though this movie has a R rating the violence and romance isn't anything you wouldn't see in a PG-13 film. For those questioning seeing this one, and who have seen the first one, finish your choice and see this movie.

Summary: Why, W. Brothers, Why??
Review: *sigh* Why did the Watchowski Bros. have to go and ruin a wonderful movie by making it a trilogy?If you've read any of the other reviews or seen the trilogy, you know that the last 2 installments were about special effects more than the plot or the acting. Okay, that's a little bit of an understatement. What really bothers me is that there could have been a pretty great sequel if the brothers had just combined the "plots" of Reloaded and Revelations and tried to make just one sequel, instead of dragging out a thin plot, measly dialogue, and repetetive fight scenes for two whole movies. The original Matrix was the real Revolution, as far as moviemaking goes. It's too bad the Watchowskis' greed for money lead them to ruin it all. I agree with another review I read; that we should just pretend like Revolutions and Reloaded were never made.

Summary: The Power of the Oracle
Review: The first Matrix film was overpraised and this last film, the Matrix Revolution, has been unfairly panned. Now that we're used to the novelty of the special effects, we can put them aside and look at the underlying story. Certainly one of the trilogy's most striking features is its racially mixed cast. Some might say that the racial aspect of Zion is not really the point of the film; but Zion's marginalized population, doomed to exist and rebel in perpetuity certainly reflects a global reality. America and Western Europe have their own internal Zions; the marginalized underclasses whose cultural identities have been forced to go underground and whose needs erupt into violence. There are some interesting mythic forces at work in the film. The Christ-like Neo sacrifices himself to save the diversity of Zion from the white, male hegemony of the Machine. Neo is helped (and even brought into being) by the Oracle, a black woman who is an archetypal figure of female power. The Oracle is reminiscent of the Black Madonna in Christianity and the earth goddess Kali in Hinduism. She could also represent the Ethiopian Queen of Sheba who guards the Ark of the Covenant. Her energy is amplified by being underground; she represents something missing and not acknowledged in the larger culture. The rise of the Oracle and her power is inevitable; she balances out the sterility and dysfunction that the Architect and Smith represent. Because her power has been forced underground, it's all the more potent-she's become shrewd and wily in a way the men aren't. This makes her the only person who can summon up the supernatural energy to rescue Zion. The Oracle does her work and in the end, she and Sati (a little Oracle-in-training) turn the Machine City into the City on the Hill. It's a feminized, tolerant city. But it's also a city with an uncertain future.

Summary: Spectacular conclusion
Review: A spectacular finale to the Matrix trilogy. The humans in Zion mount their final defense against the machines while Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) travel to the city of the machines to broker peace and deal with the increasing menace of Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving). The power of this movie lies in its incredible visuals. The story and mythology of the Matrix has become quite convoluted and I never really was clear about the ultimate nature of Neo, the Matrix, or the final brief conversation between the Oracle (Mary Alice) and the Architect (Helmut Bakaitis). Oh well, that leaves something for the next time I see these films. If youÂfre watching these movies to glean some sort of coherent philosophy about the nature of reality, as many of the filmsÂf detractors seem to have been doing, then I suppose you may be setting yourself up for disappointment. If youÂfre content to be treated to eye-popping effects and non-stop energy, you should have a good time.

Summary: a letdown from the first 2.
Review: well if you like bullets,lasers and explosions,this one is for you.problem is,thats it too.they go to the central core of whats holding the computer world together and rage war on it.then these millions and millions of robotic squid things come out.theres a big bunch of shooting and boom boom boom.the end.its too violent for kids i think.it seems as though they spent so much money on the squids,they forgot a storyline or anything else that goes with a movie.just boom boom boom.outof the 3,it basicly just wraps the first two up.in the first 2,there were stories,chicks,plots,scenes,and places.this had a dark place filled with squids.of the 3,this one is a distant 3rd.if you like sci fi and action youll love this one.this one black chick does some awesome pilot work in one of the movies most exiting parts.the hype was better than the movie actualy turned out to be.not to discredit it though as an excellent movie.this is keeono.uuuuhhhhhhh.....teds third best movie ever.ill give you one guess what the other two are.the trilogy ends here.it is a bit long,but good.

Summary: IGNORANCE IS INEVITABLE!
Review: Im SOOOOOO sick of these unintelectual people in the world RAVING & MOCKING one of the most mezmerizingly, dream-like & mind-blowing trilogies of our time! People take the most amazing things for granted. The Matrix Trilogy is a genuine master-piece, the Wachowski Brothers NEVER SOLD OUT, they made it EXACTLY how it was originally planned! & to all those who winge & cry like like a baby saying that the sequels feel different to part 1...OFCOURSE! They are supposed to! Part 1: Birth, Part 2: Life & Part 3: Death, thus these are what represent the feelings of each movie...(Notice how Matrix 2 it's just mayham, everyone doin there thing frantically trying to get all there missions done, left, right & center: THATS LIFE IN GENERAL, & notice how matrix 3 is alot DARKER & more evil & depressing than part 1 & 2: THATS REPRESENTING DEATH, THUS: TRAGEDY!!!) Yeah, its complex, but thats no reason to slag it off DAMMIT! & if u pass it off as "THIS IS WAK DUE TO IGNORANCE: Just die! Shouts out to the person who said this: {Superb Trilogy, April 12, 2004
Reviewer: A viewer from Anchorage, Alaska United States
What happens when you bring an intellectual movie trilogy to be viewed by the public? You get a bunch of unintellectual people criticizing the movie for its action e.t.c} Right on! Long live the king......

Summary: This Film Never Should Have Been Made.
Review: Neo hangs out, not doing much while a bunch of lameasses talk and mess around and wait for Neo to save them yet again, then he dies. The end. Atrocious storyline, boring scenes, bad acting, uninspired garbage, as if written by a matrix-hater to ruin the original.
It's no longer "What is the Matrix?" It's, "Where is the Matrix?" That's what everyone would like to know.

Summary: dissappointed after the 1st two Matrix trilogy
Review: Not worth it. I was hugely disappointed esp after the great fx of the 1st 2 of the Matrix trilogy. It seemed that about the only consistent fx was the machines taking over man. This is a tired them and also to continue using the same effect over or to digitally rematch it over and over gets tiring. Of course one interesting multiple effects was the many Mr. Smiths getting created just like a true virus. Unless you're a Matrix collector--I'd just as soon watch a rental or borrow rather than purchase unless for a low price.
The 1st 2 Matrix movies I've watched many times...this 3rd of the trilogy has been watched only once--for a reason

Summary: sigh...
Review: The first was incredible; the second (Reloaded) wasn't too bad for a sequel; the third was boring.
Trying not to be biased, but it did have a lot to live up too. Unfortunately, this one just dragged on. I had to force myself to watch it to the end, which is sad.
The third is less confusing than the previous two, but also less exciting. For an intelligent series, this one doesn't fit.
Oh well, I'm sure the Wachowski bros. have some great things up their sleeves for future projects.
