The Problem Is This....

Rating: 5/10 (6 November 2003)

The original matrix astounded me not just because it was pretty to look at, what was astonishing about it was the way every element had an explanation. Every special power, every plot element, they all had reasons. My favorite was the explanation of deja vu - a glitch in the Matrix as it resets itself in someway.
But in Matrix Revolutions, everything falls apart. Neo has superpowers in the "real" world, but when Neo asks for an explanation, he gets no real answer. Hands are waved to say that its magic, and who really knows... The Wachowski brothers decided to change the rules of the universe, and then failed to give any explanation for those changes. What a let down!

On the bright side: Jada Pinkett Smith was a real surprise\highlight in this movie - she has a lot of crap lines - but she delivers them well, where many of her peers fail. Her scenes are a lot of fun, in my opinion.
