Holy Shit! (minor spoilers ahead)

Rating: 3/10 (5 November 2003)

My jaw dropped at least five times during this film, most numerously when the machines breach the dock and the APG's do battle with the sentinels. This film is not the best in the series, in fact it's the worst if you look at the three films individually. Much less complicated than the first two (especially Reloaded) this movie is a little slow to start but ironically it is only when the characters leave the Matrix that the real action begins. The "real" world and Zion are the settings that dominate this film, much like the Matrix dominated the first two. That is because the previous two films were about the destruction and mystery of the Matrix, while this film is about the end of the war. And while the battles are fought in the Matrix the war is fought in the real world. To sum up I love this movie as an action movie because that is what it is. The other two films have more depth and that's why they are better but this is a supreme action film and a good wrap up to a phenomenal trilogy.
