Disappointing, but still good.

Rating: 8/10 (7 November 2003)

This third installment of The Matrix series was, as were the last two, brilliant in terms of special effects, but was lacking plot-wise. The first film was pretty straightforward, and easy to understand. The second film was much less straightforward, hard-to-follow and confusing. Many people were disappointed then, too. Under the surface of the second film, if you take your time to analyze you find a wonderful web of hints and underlying explanations of what the writers were trying to create. Now for the third movie, people were expecting a brilliant ending. Instead, we got another straightforward movie, pretty much like the first, that leaves a few unclosed issues, and the ending is weak, at best. The war scenes are still brilliant, and this movie is, as expected well filmed and well done in other aspects, but lacking, as i explained above.
8 out of 10, because a film with such good action can't be granted less, just because Matrix I was amazing.
