Better than Reloaded, but that's not saying much

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 2003)

Let me start by saying that I liked the first film. It wasn't the best movie of all time like some would contend, but the film was an overall 7/10. Reloaded was a terrible farce of a movie with little in the way of story and so many pointless uneccesary scenes that it still makes my head spin to this day. I went to Revolutions with the hope that I was just completely wrong about the second movie, that in this one all of those things that made little to no sense about the last film would be explained and there would have been a lot of "Oh Yeah!" moments. I was sadly mistaken. I can say a few good things about Revolutions. 1. The special effects were awesome. 2. (And my biggest gripe from the last film) Every action taken in the movie had a point. And 3. Independently many of the scenes in the movie were fantastic, from the final battle with Smith to the journey to 01, but they just weren't enough to make the film worthy of seeing.
Now for the bad stuff. The dialogue was terrible. The acting was laughable with everybody making deliveries like they had no emotion (maybe to offset the fact that Keanu can't act to save his life). And the story was terrible with unexplained resolutions that leave you scratching your head. What's the deal with the train from the Matrix to our world?? Where exactly does that let off and are the tooth fairy and Santa Claus somehow involved? It's crap like that which fills this movie. Why on Earth would a machine, a logical being obesessed only with self preservation, ever make an agreement with it's one true enemy and hold to that agreement like it had some sense of honor?? The film was beter than the last, but that's only because the last film was terrible and a 3/10 at best.
Go see the film, because you have to. Hell, you've already invested so much of your life on this crap. Just don't expect such simple things as acting, dialogue, and a story that makes sense. Oh and forget everything you may know about reality, because the matrix has very little to do with what's real and possible (and not in a good way). 5/10
