revolution?!?

Rating: Null/10 (11 November 2003)

I was a fan of The Matrix (the first movie) as soon as I saw it. I was stoked to see the second one, though wary, and felt slightly disappointed but not completely disillusioned by Reloaded. For Revolutions I tried (successfully) to not hear anything about it before seeing it, so I would be completely pure and able to think about it without any outside influence...
I saw it, and now I feel as if something beautiful has been viciously ripped from within me; as if I've just been cheated. I feel embarrassed for spending money on this movie, and I feel absolutely let down.
There was so much cheese. I'll admit the Matrix movies were always filled with cheesy lines and laughable dialogue...but Revolutions took it to another level altogether by making some plot elements as cheesy as the dialogue (*cough* Sati).
the "Train Man" ?!? COME ON!! now that's a name I can respect. and so imaginative! "what'll we call this character, which incidentally I've just come up with right now?" "hmm. well, he's driving a train. He's a man with a train... The train man!"
The other two movies were imbued with an aura I can only describe as cool. I found the third to be lacking that coolness, that intelligence, that intrigue. My brain has fortunately decided to block out many of my memories of that horrible, horrible experience.
I am endlessly sad.
