A missed occasion

Rating: 5/10 (6 November 2003)

I did not like this movie. The first matrix was impressive, new, dark, intriguing. The second (with some flaw) was a good sequel. It opened lot of interesting questions, most of all regarding the cycle in the story (more Zions, more Neo) and the fact that Neo was only some sort of bug, a piece in the machine needed to let it to work. This third movie brings back the Merovingian and then put him away too fast, after all Trinity and Morpheus had 100+ guns pointed to their heads....how did they escape? This movie doesn't explain the interesting questions of the 2nd and follows a totally different way: a huge battle in the real world and the most classical final combat with the "boss". I think that they have followed commercial rules to make this last movie, trying to make a movie for all. In my humble opinion, they have made a trivial movie and have lost a great occasion to give to the movie history a great trilogy.
