Matrix 3 - all hot air
As in Shakespeare's Hamlet is said, brevity is the soul of the wit. How unfortunate that the Wachowski Brothers and producer Joel Silver apparently did not read the Master of drama first before considering to make sequels of their 1999 shot. I wish they had. Because then they would have come to an important decision: one is enough. And we could appreciate one real cult movie, one fascinating story that inspires and stimulates thoughts and imagination, we would remember absolute captivating and pioneering special effects and we would have saved a lot of time and money. Neither Reloaded nor Revolutions is the icing on the cake, sweep both of them under the carpet, the only way to preserve the brilliance of the first one and only Matrix.
