Revolutionary? No. Great entertainment? YES!

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2003)

The critics have panned Revolutions, worse even than Reloaded. But this isn't a movie created for the critics. It's a movie designed to be entertaining, designed to be "cool" (in the words of the Wachowskis!), not some art-house piece. In that I feel it succeeds. If you enjoyed the Matrix, and Reloaded, there is no question you will think this movie rocks. It is a thrilling conclusion to the trilogy. A common criticism raised at Reloaded was that it did not "top" the Matrix in terms of inventiveness, and I feel strongly that was always an impossible challenge - as the cast and crew of the original said, they were very much "under the radar", and the surprises were a large part of what made that movie so special. In a way Reloaded and Revolutions both are victims of the huge success of The Matrix. But if you loved that first movie, and still enjoyed the second, there is no question you will love this one even more.
