3 stars for the action but....(some spoilers.)

Rating: Null/10 (8 June 2004)

I enjoyed the action sequences in this film however there were to many holes in the plot. It would have been clearer had the screenwriters provided some flashbacks from the last film for those of us that forgot what happened in Matrix 2. I believed that Niobe and her ship were destroyed in Matrix 2. What ever happened to the twin vampire/ghosts from Matrix 2? Why didn't Merovingian help Neo and the others if he knew that the clone/virus Agent Smith was going to take over the Matrix? Did Merovingian want to be absorbed by the clone/virus Agent Smith? Why couldn't they explain why the Oracle changed her appearance? Why would the Architect/Deus Ex Machina need Neo, a human to stop the clone/virus Agent Smith? Neo rose from the dead in the Matrix and brought Trinity from the dead in Matrix 2. What's preventing Neo from returning again from the dead with Trinity? The screenwriters set up an unbelievable premise that was to difficult to follow with too much philosophical mish mash when Neo talked to the Architect in Matrix 2. They seem to have abandoned that slipshod premise from Matrix2 when they wrote Matrix 3. All in all the film was compelling but only up to a point. They needed to keep the story plot clear. I read in some tabloid that one of the Wachowski brothers was undergoing a sex change operation. In the DVD special features section I was fully expecting to see one of the Wachowski brothers as a female by now. Did he change his mind?
