Horrible. Horr-i-ble.

Rating: 1/10 (8 November 2003)

Horrible. Horr-i-ble. As a stand alone film, maybe just "bad" or possibly even "eh, okay", but in the context of a trilogy...putrid. Anyone who thinks otherwise, clearly knows not of what they speak and doesn't know what a kickass trilogy is all about. Or might have other issues going on.
As with the 2nd one, characters could have said and done ANYTHING and it would have been acceptable. Neo could never die, nothing was clear or really and truly worked and the coolness of the first (and really, the only movie that should be viewed ever again) was completely destroyed. The small group of characters joined this Star Warsian world that the first Matrix didn't (wisely) have and the film was just another action film, like crappy Starship Troopers or something.
Horr-i-ble.
