Haters missed the point

Rating: 8/10 (7 November 2003)

The general disdain for Reloaded and Revolutions by critics and fans alike has me baffled. What the heck were you all expecting? Why would you expect totally coherent, cookie-cutter entertainment from films based on anime and philosiphy? Have you seen anime, as most of you claim?
The Matrix trilogy told a story, a story about robots vs. kung-fu. When Reloaded was met with bitter, bitter hate upon release, people hated it beacuse it was such a different film than the first. I guess people just wanted more of the same, as it the norm for most American sequels. But, fortunately for those of us with brains, the brothers decided to continue the story with no regard for the conventions of the action genre.
Revolutions again suprises us with a completely different experience than the first two. As it's the climax for the entire trilogy, those idiots expecting conventions such as a normal three act plot will not get it. Instead, you get a thrilling and brilliant two hours of action that even tops the previous two films. Oh, it's hardly perfect cinema, but let's see anyone else make a better trilogy about robots vs. kung-fu! You haters missed the freakin point, and shame, shame on you all!
