Great story, but Keanu still can't act

Rating: 8/10 (9 November 2003)

Well,the trilogy is finally over- and although some people have been griping about the somewhat vague ending, I can't think of any other way that would have brought a satisfying resolution to the story- which is left wide open for a sequel in the future (although they should really just stop here.)
What I liked: The Zion Attack scenes were amazing, there's no padding in the first half hour like in Reloaded,unexpected character deaths,
the final Agent Smith battle put the Burly Brawl to shame, and the whole train station scene was touching and well thought out.
What I didn't like: Keanu still can't act, Morpheus and Persephone had nothing to do, the confrontation scene with Bane was ridiculously stretched out.
This was far more satisfying than the last installment, although everyone should really watch all 3 movies in a row before they start griping about it. The philosophy elements were toned down as well, but still intriguing (The Merovingian's "cause and effect" view, versus Neo's "free will/choice" view.)
My Score: 8/10
