what a waste of time and money

Rating: 1/10 (8 November 2003)

i thought matrix reloaded was a massive disappointment, but revolutions SOMEHOW!!??!!! managed to sink even lower.

The original matrix was great due to its innovation and stunning action sequences, but neither were present in this movie. You could write a book on how much has been stolen from Aliens / Blade Runner / Terminator and Star Wars!
The strongest characters were relegated to bit part characters (smith and morpheus) and replaced by paper thin cut-outs nicked straight from the corridors of hollywood cheese (see Armageddon, Pearl Harbour, Independence Day). There were so many pointless and ill-thought relationships such as the captain and the skinhead wannabe soldier, Link and his girlfriend, morpheus and his love interest??!!!
there was nothing but CGI in this movie, and there was nothing original or stylistically exciting.
the only thing missing from this movie was keanu (i'm so deep and meaningful) driving an american flag through agent smith at the end!
this lasts 2 hours, in which time you could absorb something a lot more meaningful like Voltaire's Candide, Camus's Outsider or Sartre's Nausea. This is shallow, forgettable and a hugue let down. But the most annoying thing is that it will still make the people involved very very rich :(
