The ugly child of beautiful parents

Rating: 2/10 (5 November 2003)

"I once had a dream, for me that dream has gone." Love it or hate it, the Matrix has an overwelming storyline, but Revolutions has no soul. The special effects are amazing, the acting is brilliant, to be fair to the Wachowskis, they cudnt have ended the film better. But it leaves you with this horrible feeling of dissatisfaction. I didnt know how the story was going to end, thats the brilliance of Reloaded. Some may disagree no doubt, but Reloaded has an Empire strikes back factor. It sets the scene for a grand finale, and from the outset looks promising, but as the story goes on, it becomes way too sentimental for its own good and doesnt deliver the meat and potatas. I think the Matrix is fantastic, its a good idea delivered well and i was verry excited about Revolutions but it just wasnt there. Long live Neo, at least he tries to fight for us. Liver
