'The Matrix Revolutions'

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2004)

The critics unfairly targeted and blasted this final chapter in the 'Matrix' trilogy. Although, I am not saying they were completely wrong in doing so. The problem involving the 'Matrix' sequels is one of expectation. After the brilliant first chapter that provided us with an amazing story and with tremendous action and special effects, our expectations were really high for the second chapter. 'Reloaded' still carried the same amazing special effects and knockout action but it lacked the heart of the first film. The plot became more of a puzzle in 'Reloaded', and consequently fell below our expectations. 'Revolutions' was expected to be the grand finale, a rewarding ending that would more than make up for the disappointment endured in 'Reloaded'. But, the ending is where 'Revolutions' stumbles. The ending does not really resolve anything and many audiences were left feeling empty. And as a result, 'Revolutions' received all of this criticism.
My stand on 'Revolutions' is that it is a decent sci-fi action movie but it is not a good ending to the 'Matrix' trilogy. As I mentioned the earlier, the ending is quite an empty gesture. But the rest of the film is pretty decent, in terms of action and visual effects, but like 'Reloaded' is nowhere near as good as the first movie. Don't listen everything the critics say, 'Revolutions' nowhere near as bad as most of them say it is.
