Oh dear...

To sum up the Matrix trilogy in few words is easy for me: the first movie was kinda cool for the time, making way for all the wire-fu action sequences and slow-mo effects that many flicks would repeatedly make use of. The second movie was fairly poor quality and didn't make much sense - and the dancing sequence drove me nuts. But Matrix Revolutions is the enigma. On the one hand, it's not as bad as Reloaded, but on the other hand, it's devoid of purpose. It's just there.
The main problem is that Revolutions was made around the same time as Reloaded, which means it's almost as much of a mess as the second movie was. But then the movie is mostly fighting and special effects (no dancing sequences here like in Reloaded, so there's extra points right there). But then again, there was really no point to the fighting or the movie in general. Maybe there's something in the plot that didn't click with me, which is something that would be used as fodder for all the detractors, but if there's something that didn't click, then there's something wrong with the story that doesn't allow it to click. Perhaps if I paid more attention to the movie... perhaps if the movie had anything that would be worth the effort to pay any semblance of attention.
Revolutions isn't that bad of a movie if you take it in as a popcorn flick, but as a sci-fi epic or whatever it's supposed to be, it just doesn't work. Watch if you're a fan of the other Matrix flicks. Otherwise, avoid.
