Viva Le Revolution

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2003)

Finally have I seen, the last chapter in the Matrix trilogy. Was it any good? Yeah, it was great. So much better then Reloaded, but not as good as the original. But what is? Nothing. The original caught us with a surprise and invented something new. Something we had never seen. Something we just have seen parts of in manga and Hong Kong action and kung fu movies. It was perfectly blended and we loved it. It could never been done in the same way, and the Wachowski's hasn't even tried. Because the couldn't. They did there best and gave us a spectacular and fantastic sci-fi/action movie. They show a war against the machine we could only dream about years ago. But the Wachowki's gave us that, and I love them for it. The Zion attack was great. It was one of the most impressive action sequence I have ever scene in that scale. Much better than you have seen in any Star Wars film or manga movies. The only thing that can top this is if we got a Terminator 4 in the future where we see a full scale battle between thousand and thousand of machine against thousand's of human. That would top this. But for now we got Revolutions.
SPOILERS (don't read if you haven't seen the movie)
The fight between Neo and Agent Smith was great. It could have been better if we could see what was going on, and it hadn't been raining and so dark. But the sequence was great. They took it to the next level. They made Agent Smith, super Agent Smith. And how did he become that? He took over the oracle. And it was brilliant. It was perfect love how I become this super agent. I no other way that he could match Neo.
The first half in the matrix was also great. But it could been better. I wanted to see more action in the s & m club. I big shoot out. The shoot out was great, and I thought it always would be cool if Trinity and Morpheus could fight other free minded or other programs than the agent or the twins. The first half reminded me much of the original Matrix. I got the same feeling.
On the down side we got terrible dialogue. I could see a lot of it coming a mile away. We got a lot of new characters that we don't remember the names off. Neo was a little stupid. It took a while before he knew that Bane was Agent Smith. I wanted to scream to the screen that Bane was Agent Smith. Who else will call him Mr. Anderson? It would also be cool to have a Seraph and Agent Smith fight, because I think Seraph would kick Smith's behind. That would be before he become Super Smith. I think Morepheus could do more in this film. His part is pretty small, and he hasn't much to do. Jada Pinkett Smith's character Niobi is all most bigger.
All in all I like this a lot more than Reloaded. It didn't feel so empty as Reloaded, and I felt every action had a meaning. In the end I was satisfied. I feel it answered all my question, and it didn't raise any new one. I liked that Neo and Trinity died, and I think the Wachowski's couldn't do it any other way. The music by Don Davis and Juno Reactor was also cool, and I liked it. I was satisfied by the acting. Nothing big, but nothing bad either. They are there characters. Revolutions could have a sequel, but it doesn't need it. If they make one, it should be set in about 100 years later or more.
I gave it 8/10. A improvement from Reloaded, but it couldn't never be as good as The Matrix. (I'm sorry about any grammatic or spelling mistakes)
