it killed the trilogy

Rating: 3/10 (23 February 2004)

this is a perfect example of how not to finish a groundbreaking universally popular trilogy with a hardcore fan base. the problem with this film is that it has the characters and plot of a third rate playstation game. after the immortal original and universe expanding if a little overblown sequel we are left with this mess with few mememorable moments.(when agent smith reveals to the oracle what happened to the little girl is a classic though). the main problem is that while i was watching i could imagine ways the directors could have taken the story to rescue us from the worst ending ever.(did we really need the oracle and little girl returning to talk to the architecht). if you havent seen it leave 5 min from the end your opinion of the film will raise considerably. we could have seen smith vs the merovingian or indeed anyone else since he supposedly cloned the entire matrix.(wouldnt that make everyone in the real world now a smith or dead oh gr8 another plot hole play the game yourself and see where the potential of the first film and the set up of the second turned into this turkey im glad peter jackson had a book to go on because if the return of the king had ended up like this he would be a wanted man. in conclusion watching this film will do to your memory of the first what the phantom menace did to star wars even lucas could have finished this better with ewoks.
