Waste of time and (lots) of money

Rating: 1/10 (6 November 2003)

Perhaps the W brothers think that they are old men and so shouldn't try to make a point (reference to some bad scripting in 2, in case you missed it).
No consistent style, no solid plot, 6 'themes' rolled badly into 1 (power of belief/self-belief/love, co-dependency, predestination vs.choice and a new messiah), little use of existing characters and introduction of pointless new chars ('trainman' being the worst).
If you're hoping that this will make sense of the juvenile, inconsistent philosophical ramblings in Reloaded then prepare to be disappointed, it's more of the same if not worse.
Future fantasy rather than science fiction, I've seen hair product advertisements with more 'science'. Though even taken on a pure fantasy level this film was simply terrible.
I have yet to read more than one positive review that says anything more than 'wow, that was cool/awesome' or 'that sfx sequence was great'. The lone review that mentioned otherwise stated that it was a 'masterpiece of storytelling'. I'd love to see these opinions justified, if only so I can see the work that gels the whole thing together... because I seem to have missed it.
I'll say it again... pointless.
