Revolutions is great, but I think I missed something

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2003)

Alright, hear me out. Revolutions was great. That's right, you heard me. But here's what I think I missed: Did all of you not see the first movie or did you forget that it was also pretentious, cliched to all hell, and completely derivative of other films? Watch it again and forget for a second that you are stupid and realize that yes, the concept is fun, the plot is silly, the acting is bad, and the action is great. That sound familiar? Sounds just like Revolutions to me. I love the first Matrix like I love any good kung-fu movie and I really liked the last forty minutes of Reloaded (just so you know where I stand). And I have to say, Revolutions was a great way to end it. I really don't feel like reviewing Revolutions in any specific way, I just felt like pointing out that, despite popular opinion, the first Matrix (which is, of course, better than Revolutions, don't get me wrong) isn't perfect or overly original, but still very good. I feel the same way about Revolutions and I was quite shocked to see all the overwhelmingly negative reviews, particularly considering the slack Reloaded was given. To sum up... a lot better than Reloaded and almost as good as The Matrix. Very operatic and anime influenced (see X, Metropolis, or Akira (sort of)). Very big, no copping out, a lot of fun.
