A fitting end to a magnificent epic

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 2003)

Have to say, that Matrix Revolutions or the entire trilogy is one of the few us blockbusters worth wasting one's time to comment on. I have seen the first one on and off several times and also Reloaded more than once, and must say that each time something new popped out(philosophy, action or even acting and wardrobe...). Perhaps the best lines were spent in the first movie (there might not have been another one), especially Agent Smith's (Hugo Weaving should have gotten a supporting oscar for the first Matrix - shame). I've seen Revolution yesterday and first have to say AWESOME!!! There were some obvious flaws in the movie, some of them certainly avoidable, but all in all it was a fitting end to a story that in time will be viewed as a hole as it should be. Some argue about who should have lived or died but ultimately all the great stories are about sacrifice for love, ideals (religion) and the greater good of many rather than oneself. Without spoiling the ending it was a little disapponting that in the end there was room left for the franchise to continue (cartoons, comics, books etc...), but that's Hollywood for ya. As for rating Revolutions would get 8/10 and the entire trilogy 10/10, for it's one of the few creations that have stirred my emotions, shaped my mind and left me wanting for more (ranks up there with music of Pink Floyd or U2, books by Heinlein and Scott Card, movies by Fincher and Ridley Scott...). GO SEE THE MOVIE!!! It's worth your time and money (my humble opinion).
