The Wachowski brothers have surrended to their emplooyers...

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2003)

LITTLE (IF ANY) SPOILERS HERE That is the only reason i can think they mess with the story. I´m one of the ones that actually think that Reloaded was a very good movie. The cool cliffhanger finale in Reloaded (with Neo showing his powers and Smith able to transport himself to the "real" world) was negated in Revolutions by one line The Oracle said in a bland movie that uses loads of CGI and gives no real explanation for the events at the end of Reloaded. I feel cheated but again, i refuse to believe that the Wachowski brothers intented Revolutions this way, but instead dumbed down the whole movie in reaction to the bad reviews Reloaded got (seems because the studio suggested that the confused Average Joe moviegoers don´t like a movie which actually requires you to think)...
BIG SPOILERS AHEAD ...and the end of the movie doesn´t have any more sense too, because the humans still are batteries for the machines and now the humans are happy to barely survive underground instead of keep fighting to release the others. The redeeming points of the movie are the last fight between Neo and Smith (superb scene) and maybe the cool mechas used in the defense of Zion. I hope someday the Wachowski brothers will give us their original vision of the Matrix Revolutions (in a redone "Highlander 2" way) but for now i´ll only consider the original Matrix and Matrix: Reloaded movies as part of the story.
