Blew me out of the water, but NOT for everybody *possible small spoiler*

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2003)

First let me give you some of my thoughts on the previous Matrix movies. After seeing the first Matrix, and absolutely loving it, I was extrememly excited for Matrix: Reloaded...too bad I was severly let down. Never in my life had I felt so unfulfilled after seeing a movie, and never in my life had I wanted a refund. When I went back and watched it later, I realized I had bashed it too much, but in the end it was barely more than 2 1/2 out of 5 stars.
Now, when I went to see Revolutions, I was hoping that it would make up for the total mishap that Reloaded was. I must say that I was very very pleased with this movie, BUT not everybody will be. My two roommates absolutely hated it *although one LOVED reloaded...go figure eh?* Personally I loved it because the Zion battle scene was the most stunning battle I have ever seen on the screen. It was an opera of fluid, overblown, explosive joy. The final fight between Neo and Agent Smith was sweet also, but it couldn't stand up to the Zion fight scene. Im a big fan of SciFi wars, and especially one's involving 'Mechs. Mechassault on Xbox, and the Mechwarrior franchise on the PC are some of my favorite games, and I have been dying for something in their ilk to make its way to the big screen. Honestly, I would have paid to see a 3 hour APU battle for all I cared, but hey that's just me, and that is where the problem within this movie lies. NOT EVERYBODY WHO LIKED THE FIRST ONE, or even the second one for that matter, will enjoy this movie. If you are looking for another 'KungFu Fest' like reloaded, look elsewhere. If you are looking for more psychobabble and deliberate plot nuances, look elsewhere. If you want to see the most bada**, over the top, operatic, and well put together SciFi war seqence, then this is it! I must say if you are a fan of 'Mech combat then this movie will definitely be for you, if not, then I must say proceed with caution. While utterly and completely possible to love this movie without a knowledge or love for 'Mechs and robotic combat, it will be very rare to find somebody, ESPECIALLY somebody who dislikes that and is looking for KungFu and 'Gun Opera' battles, to find much pleasure in this movie.
So there you have it, hopefully without too many spoilers, my review of Matrix Revolutions.
for a fan of SciFi, Mech/Robot battles----> 10 out of 10 for a fan of the kungfu of the other Matrix's----> 6 out of 10 for a casual fan just wanting an action movie----> 7.5 out of 10
so in the end, I felt it redeemed the franchise, my friend said he wont buy the DVD set in the future due to this movie, so again, if you dislike mech/robot combat steer away from this one. anybody else, this is a fitting end to a GREAT starting trilogy, which faltered in the middle, but regained its composure for the final installment.
