I knew there had to be a reason ...

Rating: 2/10 (6 November 2003)

.... why the Wachowskis didn't give any interviews.
I wish I had only seen the first movie, the two sequels spoilt the entire idea for me. Minute long scenes of the fight men against machines when it becomes clear the second the machines reach Zion that it can only be the machines that will survive... This entire battle left me with the bitter taste of the display of American post-September 11th trauma that has become so common in American movies containing any sort of "war". The new Oracle and the insufficient explanation why there even is a new one are disappointing as well as the half told story of this Indian girl/program and the final purpose of the Trainman. Character evolvement doesn't take place anymore, what so hopefully began in part one stopped right between end of part one and beginning of part two. And finally not even the action sequences will save "Revolutions", what is it with this Harry Potter-like Agent Smith vs. Neo flying around?
But it was dead Neo's Jesus posture at the end of "Revolutions" that finally killed this film for me. Make the right choice ... don't waste either time or money...
