Why? What happened?

Rating: 3/10 (9 November 2003)

I enjoyed the first Matrix movie. It had a few characters, the plot was not all that complicated, and it was based on a very cool concept (humans traped into a virtual reality program). It was an action movie that made you think about life and its meaning.
On Matrix Reloaded, it got complicated. A lot of characters. Zion. Meetings between characters I didn't know the name. Programs and more programs (Keymaker, Merovingian). Smith got loose, somehow. Complicated and obscure plot. The Architect (what the...). BUT... it was a great action movie. For me, the amazing action scenes compensated the confusing, obscure plot.
I saw Matrix Revolutions yesterday. Well, how can I say it... It sucked. The plot is even more obscure. Every questions from Reloaded kept unanswered (like Persephone's kiss). The action sequences were clichéd, and boring. Even the fight between Neo and Smith (which was supposed to be the final combat between good and evil, the most amazing fight in all 3 movies) wasn't so good at all, it felt like a bad, bad, bad DragonBall episode. All in all, it was... disappointing. Just disappointing. No genius plot twist. No amazing action sequence. The characters were flat, the dialog was terrible (sometimes I felt Keanu was reading from cue cards, and I felt like Fishburne appeared in about 10 minutes in the whole movie).
Will the Wachowski brothers ever release any good (and by good, I mean profitable) movies ever? Will they ever recover from the Matrix? will they ever give an interview again? I belive not.
