The Matrix Revulsions

Rating: 1/10 (8 November 2003)

Don't get me wrong. I am a fan of the first Matrix film, because it was simply a very good action film. With the sequels, the Wachowski bros have obviously travelled so far up their own behinds in searching for some cod-philosophy and religious imagery to fill them up with, they have forgotten about such minor details as plot, character development, and scriptwriting.
Matrix Reloaded at least had that car chase and some 'in the matrix' action in between the rubbish Zion storyline. Unfortunately, Matrix Revolutions is just boring. The invasion of Zion looks fairly good, but is badly directed and lacks any excitement or coherence whatsoever. The worst thing though is the dialogue, which ranges from the simplistic at best, to laughably bad at other points. As with Matrix Reloaded there are a number of pointless incomprehensible monologues as well.
Not everything that has a beginning has a total cop-out ending.
