Summary: Certainly Different
Review: I did not know what to think coming into the third Matrix movie. I was a fan of the first two. What I saw though was a film that was certainly different from the first two. The first one was essentially a mystery - a quest to discover what the matrix was and what was going on. The second film was a kung fu/action film which I found personally quite enjoyable (especially the freeway chase). The third film however was completely different from the first two. With only two fights scenes occuring within the Matrix and 90% of the film in the "real world" the film smacked more of Aliens than the Matrix (especially with those mechs...) - the action was of a completely different nature to all that that came before - whilst spectacular lacked some of the magic that defined the first two. It was a bit too symbolic with the blinding of Neo etc and the obvious christ metaphor with Neo splayed out at the end and all the Satrian philosophy with the train station etc. The movie was enjoyable although some of the dialog was a bit dodgy in places, especially at the start. It was certainly different from the first two but I believe deserves a second viewing

Summary: I'm not sure they met their objective
Review: The bottomline is that the people who created this movie missed a pretty cool opportunity to execute on an interesting plot. By trying to be cute with the ending and the signifance of each fight, conversation, etc -- these people forgot that if you make something to complicated it might not work. This is a good example of trying to balance art, philosophy, and money. Obviously this "Trinity" didn't work. Sadly, I didn't "Get it"...and actually don't care to either. Plus, the dialogue is poor and the special effects are over the top. Bummer, but I guess I'll wait for Matrix IV...

Summary: Excellent!(air guitar)
Review: Okay, first, picture me doing a bad "Bill and Ted" impression while doing air guitar. Okay? Got that out of your system? Although as confusing and mindless as "Reloaded", that's not why I see these movies, I go and see them for the sheer action value, such as watching a episode of "Samauri Jack", it's not for the story, I mean c'mon. Please. In this movie, Neo is trapped between the virtual world and the real world, the world of the machines. Morpheus (stealing a joke from J. "Ray" Purlky of the Atlanta Constituition) has been eating food rations nonstop to become quite "husky", and I don't mean his voice, and Trinity is looking skinnier and haggard. A lot of stuff is karate-kicked and blown up, they use the Forklift suits from "Aliens" loaded with machine guns, more stuff blows up, and the movie ends on a surprisingly note. Enough? Go see it, but try not to think too hard, okay?

Summary: Over-rated, over-hyped, absolute rubbish.
Review: First movie is/was a classic - it has, or rather, had a mysticism to its' philosophy and style which was very appealing and captivating.
But the sequels... Well, they're so in your face and all they seem to be about is just the already-seen-it-to-death computer effects and the stupid fighting.
I really hoped more could have become of this trilogy but in the end it just seems to boil down to people who can't smile, wearing long black coats and shades, flying around, pausing in mid air, mincing about talking rubbish. Oh, and things exploding all over the place.
They should have left the Matrix alone - the sequels have badly tarnished what was a classic since the makers of the movies claim you need to see all of the movies (and, apparently, play the PC game - yeah, right!) to get the full story. Well, thanks anyway, but if I want to watch a Matrix movie again I'll stick to the first part. Cheers.
Thanks for listening - enjoy the film.

Summary: Sad End to The Matrix
Review: I am sad to say that unlike Neo, Matrix Revolutions does not surpass or even come close to it's predecessors. I was a huge Matrix fan, but this left a bad taste in my mouth. I've never wrote a review about anything online, but felt compelled to do so after seeing this garbage. I would probably give it 1 star if it wasn't the Matrix. I could go on for hours about how poor the movie is, but I just want to highlight a few things. 1.) The original cast (Neo, Morpheus and Trinity) barely get any screen time. I thought the movie was supposed to be about Neo understanding and destroying the Matrix, but instead have sit and watch poor acting and cheesy dialog from annoying no name actors that I just dont care about. I almost wish Zion was destroyed so I didn't have to hear about them anymore. I came to the movie to see Neo, not Jada Pinkett. 2.) The fight scenes are too few and too short. I though the fight scenes were too long in Reloaded, but in Revolutions they are almost non-existant, except for the final battle. The fight scenes that were there were all seemed rehashed from the original Matrix and Reloaded. There were also no cool enemies like the Twins or even Agents. Everyone they killed were just random people. 3.) Finally there was no resolution or final understanding. We have watched two movies, gradually learing and understanding the world of the Matrix, but the final installment does not further the understanding. In fact it doesn't even explore it. Is the war over? What happened to Neo? As you can tell I did not enjoy this movie. Techically, the movie is amazing, but the plot, acting and dialogue are horrible. Just see the movie and you'll know what I'm talking about. If you are a fan of the Matrix, definately see it for closure; just don't expect much.

Summary: GET IT!
Review: I thought this film really did a good job of ending the trilogy. But what makes me mad is the fact that so many people say it was a horrible way to end it because they still don't understand it. LISTEN: the Matrix is the dream world that was created by robots for who took over the world when they overpowered man. THAT IS WHAT THE MATRIX IS. The real world is what remains from when the machines banished man from there cities and put them into oval like structures that they grow the humans in. THAT IS WHAT THE REAL WORLD IS. Neo is the prophet who is believed to end the war between the robots and the machines for control. The agents are programs inside the computer dream world who destroy any body who is unplugged in the matrix and tries to liberate the humans. Unplugged people are the people who have been taken out of there hibernation in the real world and taken to the last city where all the unplugged people are. They jack in and out of the matrix with phones. Programs, like the Frenchman and the oracle, are people with specific jobs for the matrix. They have special abilities in the matrix and some try to stop the machines, some try to help them. Agent Smith is a machine who used to be an agent. After he was destroyed in the first film, he had to return to the source. The source is a place in the real world where the programs are made and sent into the matrix to carry out specific tasks. When Smith refused to go back to the source, he went back into the matrix to become a very powerful program. And the Twin thing who can mutate into ghosts; they can do that because THEY ARE PROGRAMS, NOT A CHEESY WAY TO MAKE IT COOL, THAT IS THEIR SPEACIAL ABILITY. The architect is a person who created the matrix. He built the other six matrix's and destroyed them because they turned out to be a problem. And there are only three agents in the film, they can morph from body to body but they have to move out of one body to get to the other (there can't be two of the same agent at one time). SO GET IT YOU SMART ALICS. There is more but I don't have enough space to write it all. But still, the third film was a very good and interesting to end it. Though the ending allows a sequel to be in order, but as a devoted matrix fan.......enough is enough.

Summary: A perfect ending to an ambitious series
Review: Matrix Revolutions ends a series that is ground-breaking in story, theme, and special effects. It's such a new style of entertainment, that film-makers are still scrambling to emulate the styles of the first two, and the third film will give them more work to do. It's such a new style, that many people can't connect to, or understand it. The themes involve carefully constructed religious and mythological symbolism, combined with an apocolyptic view of earth in the future. The movie never fails to excite, but some thought might be required.

Summary: UNDERWHELMING
Review: True inspiration can be spoiled by forcing ideas too hard and too fast. Inspiration can also be destroyed when it's forced at the wrong time. Sometimes ideas need to be sat on, culled over, and perfected before they are foisted on the general public. True art takes time. In the case of THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, it has one really huge mark against it. That is that it was shot back to back with RELOADED. So while the brothers Wachowski were able to up the ante that they set with the original MATRIX RELOADED, REVOLUTIONS has nowhere left to go. While this film is creative and visually stunning, it feels like a lot of the same thing. George Lucas did one thing correctly with his STAR WARS films being spaced three years apart. He was able to create new and stunning visual effects with technology that he only dreamed of with the previous films. In REVOULTIONS Neo (Keanu Reeves, The Replacements) and his 'Superfriends' are back where we left them. Fighting the endless war with the robots. You see where we last left the human race the robots were drilling into the last human city, and the dark suited Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving, Babe) was running amok inside and in this installment outside of the Matrix. As the war to save the human race commences, it's up to Neo to prove he's 'THE ONE'. REVOLUTIONS can be summed in one word: UNDERWHELMING. There is nothing new, nothing exceptionally cool, or anything of consequence going on. In fact except for the tail end of one really neat action sequence, (that's too difficult to explain without ruining some vital plot points) the film has no suprises. In fact the first hour of the film renders the last hour of RELOADED utterly pointless, it merely ties up some loose ends and you begin to wonder why they were introduced in the first place. It also squanders Lambert Wilson's funny and sadistic Merovigian, and Monica Bellucci's Persphone. They are in the film for mere moments. I can only surmise that its because the Wachowski's thought it would be cool to visit them again. This entire scene proves is how unnecessary they were in RELOADED and I liked them in that one. (As a side note this scene also includes a moment that earns this film it's R-rating. Yes this is a PG-13 film with a moment in which a male extra grabs and tweaks a female extra's breast. Why? I'm not quite sure I wanna to know.) As with the other two films REVOLUTIONS has a backbone of stunning special effects. While they look really good, they lack the creative spark that made the first MATRIX groundbreaking and it's sequel a joy to watch. REVOLUTIONS spends it time tying up the story and forgetting the tradition of not only stunning but also magical special effects. The race to Zion sequence is the only segment that half works, and even the final showdown just kind of ends. It should be awesome and it elicits only half the awe of the amazing final battle in the first Matrix or the breathtaking final shots of the Highway chase in RELOADED. I just wonder how much better this film could be had it been made on its own two or three years down the road. What amazing visuals could have been created? What interesting philosophies could have been dreamed up? What new and unusual characters could have been conjured? We'll probably never know, and I guess I can deal with that, but I do want to. To be fair THE MATRIX REVOULTIONS is still leaps and bounds above typical action movies. It's full of enough eye candy to keep and action junky busy for a while. I still intend to see this film on the IMAX screen, an experience that greatly improved the last film as well. As it stands I probably wouldn't recommend this film to a casual moviegoer, or a sci-fi enthusiast. But for fanboys and action buffs you just might like it. *** Out of 5

Summary: FREAKIN AMAZING
Review: this movie was amazing. This movie has less fighting scenes that the first or the 2nd. Fighting as in hand to hand combat or guns and11 stuff like that. The battle against the machines to protect ZION was amazing. It was the coolest scene in movie history. ALOT better than helms deep. but it does have more action than both the matrix movies. The zion fight scene lasts about 30 min, then the battle with neo and agent smith at the end is one of the coolest fight scenes i have ever seen. This is the best movie in the matrix trilogy. THE ENDING IS REALLY GOOD, DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU IT, ITS THE BEST ENDING I HAVE EVER SEEN. This movie has amazing special effects, amazing action, and a really good ending. This movie is amazing and you must see it
