A great conclusion to the Matrix Trilogy

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2003)

Matrix Revolutions was very good in my opinion. In some ways better than Matrix Reloaded. I won't go into detail and spoil anything for anyone but I will just say that the action/battle scenes were better than in Reloaded as well as the effects. Action wasn't as repetitive and the effects weren't quite so video game like (ie the "100 Smiths" fight in Reloaded).
This is not to say that I didn't like Reloaded. As with any movie there are little problems here and there (the aforementioned video game-like effects and repetitive aspects to some of the fighting) but over all I really enjoyed Reloaded. I just think, in my opinion, Revolutions didn't have as many problems.
As far as Revolutions goes I really liked how the story was told and concluded. Characters that weren't of real importance from the last film come into play more while the opposite for others. I had guesses about the ending and thought I had a few scenarios already figured out but they surprised me with this one. Not in a Shyamalan way though. Just a nice turn to things that I hadn't anticipated.
I am sure there will be some out there that will hate it though. Some people just build up expectations so high that nothing could satisfy. But as for myself I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to anyone who liked the previous two films even a little.
One more final note. Judging the film on it's own it IS a little unbalanced. But as a "part II" of the Matrix Sequels it is great. In some ways I like to consider Reloaded and Revolutions to be one long film split into two pieces (kind of like Kill Bill). Rather than one being a sequel of another as Reloaded was to The Matrix.
