Maybe it wasn't the peak fans dreamt of - but it is still rich and absorbing

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2019)

Much of the complaining, in my opinion, is from really dedicated fans that have become so heightened in their previous enjoyments, engagements and expectations that they (understandibly) wanted the Moon on a Stick. It's a tribute to the Matix concept, that they expect so much. I will equate Matrix with The Lord of the Rings trilogy: 3 films that pull fans this way and that .. but a body of work that puts so much of the competition firmly in the shade. Wouldn't is be great if many more movies were so passionate and original as these? Matrix Revolutions - great stuff, years ahead of itself -- but more imporatantly made with real passion.
