Not the ending I'd hope to see

Rating: 6/10 (5 November 2003)

A "good" conclusion for this trilogy, granted. However, having seen the second Matrix-film (The Matrix Reloaded), and now this third and last installment in the series, my opinion is that the Wachowski-brothers didn't have material to fill three full-length movies. The pace of the storytelling in Matrix Revolution is very uneven. Some scenes are rather dull and lengthy, and doesn't really progress the story anything. Compared to the first and second films, there isn't as much cool hand to hand combat to speed things up. All-in-all, it's not as interesting to watch, perhaps because you already know what's gonna happen... My ranking of these three films is the same as the order the were released in, i.e. the first is the best and the last is the worst. I wish it'd been the other way around...
