Simply Boring

Rating: 4/10 (5 February 2006)

Besides giving us new great special effects and bringing a really unique story to the screen which seldomly happens with blockbuster movies, the wachowski bros succeeded in one thing: dividing the whole astonished audience after part one with the second and third part. Of course everybodys taste is different but when you look at other triologies you wont find such a divided fanbase like the matrix'one.
The problems of revolutions is just plain and simple: its boring. and Its hard to understand unless you consider yourself a real hardcore fan and start to invest hours to figure out what for instance the train station stands for - if it was meant to have a deeper meaning at all. the action scenes aren't as close as fascinating as those in the first part - which, in fact, is caused by the fact that no one has seen similar things on screens before, but even the action scenes in the second part were better - to be honest most of the action in revolutions was almost annoying, a stupid repetition of boring shooting scenes, bullet time and huge special effects which intents were simply to impress. And besides the hardly understandable story in the third part, leaving the audience looking for deeper meanings and metaphors where probably aren't any, this is the point i'm criticizing the most: while the wachowskis were using neverseen special effects in part one not only to impress - and boy what were we all - but also to 'tell a story', they used them in the third part mostly unnecessary. Like to tell us: Look , we can top the action and the f/x of the first two parts.
What the movie also makes more worse are the dialogues. Reloaded gave us bunch of silly dialogues and, ironically although did not wanting to top this, revolutions does it. Lastly, i have to state : this is my opinion, and therefore other people have others. But opinions are never wrong - they can base on facts which are judged and viewed by everybody different. but: replying a bad review with the words 'if you're such a wisecrack - do it better' is just poor. Nobody has to be better than someone else to criticize his work, otherwise there wouldn't be almost no criticism at all, but you have to have some arguments. sometimes i see people so excited by a movie or whatever they really take bad reviews as a personal offense.
