I want a re-do

Rating: 4/10 (9 November 2003)

This "movie" was so disappointing, that I wonder if the Wachowski brothers really wrote and directed Revolutions. The entire movie feels like a different writer, director, and producer made Revolutions. Where the first movie was subtle, intellectually challenging, and I felt sympathy for the characters and their situation, the third one is about as simplistic as any "B" science fiction/action movie.
Keanu Reeves is so stiff, that at his end, I could not tell if he was dying, in pain, ready to keep fighting, or in a trance.
There is no nuance, we don't feel compassion for our three main heroes, and there is no feeling of having experience a deeper understanding of the first two movies or of the underlying philosophies.
It was good to see a racially diverse set of actors. With strong women and peoples from India, Asia, and Africa.
But ultimately it's just a lot of bullets in the air.
I want the real makers of the first movie, to make a third movie that we can be proud of.
I want a do-over.
