good ending

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2003)

SPOILERS AHEAD
Despite what the critics say, I think this film has a good story. Each of the characters has a strong personality and niche in the story. There is also a lot of symbolism in the characters names which are taken from the characters of Greek and Christian mythology.
However, I thought the film had some drawbacks. I wasn't a big fan of seeing Zion portrayed as a big disco/raver party. I think each of the fight/action sequences could have had their time cut in half. I would have liked to see more scenes with clues about the mystery of the Matrix, instead of the extended fight scenes.
In my opinion, the best parts of this movie are all packed into the last 15 or 20 minutes - the conversation with the system Architect, the resurrection of Trinity, and the stopping of the robots in the "real world." The conversation with the Architect was most interesting, with all of the screens in the background predicting the possible reactions of Neo. The Architect tells Neo that he is the anomaly - he tests the mathematical precision of the Architect's plan and serves as an example to test the algorithms of chaos theory through his emotional reactions based on his love for Trinity.
I'm definitely looking forward to the third installment.
