Excellent, excellent end to a masterful trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2003)

I have seen Matrix Revolutions. I can understand why so many people react the way they do to it -- "what the f*** was that?? That's such bulls***." I decided, however, to wait and think about the movie before judging it, and two days later, I realize it was an amazingly interesting, mature and unexpectedly conclusive movie. Without giving anything away, the ending is not disappointing in the least; the reason why so many unthinking critics have said it is, is because they like to have some idea of the ending of a movie before it even ends, so when it's unexpected, they don't like it. 'Thinking, you say?? Not for us! Let us passively watch and expect every movie to end in the standard good-guy kicks everyone's ass way; nothing else is acceptable.' Anyone with any maturity will appreciate this movie as a continuation of the complexity of Reloaded. For the simple-minded, or shall we say, those who prefer passive entertainment that requires no reflection afterward, perhaps you should avoid the Matrix Revolutions. It is, however, an excellent, excellent movie, for those who can understand it. Sadly, it seems, not many can.....
