A cop out ending

Rating: Null/10 (10 March 2006)

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS POSSIBLE SPOILERS When i set out to write a novel a writer friend told me.. "Whatever you do, make sure you have good end to your story." and thats where the third offering in this landmark series falls down.
It has its fights and the Battle for Zion is stunning but the end of the film is a real let down. its even more puzzling that this should be so because the second film in the series was pointing at another ending like a giant neon sign.
How should the film end? Well first of all, if you haven't seen the film it is worth the viewing. OK? Now the ending that should have been.
The film should have finished with Neo asleep in front a computer screen which begins to type "Wake up Neo." If you saw Matrix Reloaded then you came see the plot building up to this revelation that the so called Free Zion was no more real than the Matrix World, but just a place where rebels would be happier. The machine even tells Neo this, if you watch and listen carefully.
Hands up all those who think the studio made the makers go for that awful saccharine ending.
Set yourself up for a let down at the end and this film is still more than worth buying, if only for the big battle in the middle.
