Disappointing conclusion to the trilogy

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2003)

The Matrix Revolutions should have been the best of the Matrix films. Sadly,it's a disappointment and probably the weakest. The film is actually hard to watch in parts because of it's awful dialogue. The action is mostly limited to a lengthy battle between the machines and the humans and the final Neo/Agent Smith duel. Both are undoubtedly exciting but there is nothing to match the car chase of Matrix Reloaded.
Even more the other two films,the filmmakers seem intent on complicating the plot unnecessarily. Of course there is nothing wrong with complex,twist-filled plots in sci-fi movies,but one gets the feeling even the Warchowski's don't really know what is going on. We deserved,at least at the end,some answers,and few were provided. Even more sadly,I didn't really care. The Warchowski's are so bothered with creating conundrums and clever computer effects that they forget to even give us characters we care about. Unlike say,The Lord Of The Rings,where despite all the spectacle and fantasy you still have characters who have genuine emotions and who you become concerned about. Here,when a lead character dies,we are not moved at all. Keanu Reeves is so wooden that you could make a barn out of him. Monica Bellucci,as usual,is wasted.
Not really a bad film,the visuals are,as expected,terrific,but we really deserved more.
