SAY WHAT?

Rating: 1/10 (17 November 2003)

I went into Matrix Reloaded with average expectations - and boy was I let down.
I went into Matrix Revolutions with very low expectations - just how did they manage to let me down yet again?
I can't find a single redeeming quality. The characters (what "characters") were non-existent. The story? Pseudo-philosophical rubbish. At least they were clever with the original Matrix, taking little tidbits from all kinds of sources and giving it a nice twist. But this was pure bullshit, no point at all. The dialogue - come on, I nearly fell asleep.
And the much-praised special effects? They just failed to impress me at all. And worse, touch me at all. They weren't that great at all in the first place, and they were so over the top, not even in an imaginative way, I just ceased to care. I might as well have sat in front of my computer - it was a sad video game at it's worst.
I sure hope this will be the last Matrix, but somehow doubt it. Personally I'll stick to the 1st Matrix and pray I'll someday forget these... abominations. As subtle as a kick in the face. The Wachowskis think they're the cleverest thing since pre-cut bread... well, they aren't. 1 out of 10 (wish there was a 0).
