Sure, it starts out terribly... but it ends with INCREDIBLE action

Rating: 7/10 (6 November 2003)

Yes... "The Matrix Revolutions" is a disappointment. Luckily, "Reloaded" lowered my expectations supremely with its lack of magic and cohesive narrative. After trudging through the embarrassingly stupid first quarter, I was absolutely FLOORED by Revolutions' last 90 minutes. It's the most incredible sci-fi action I've seen since James Cameron's "Aliens" - an adrenaline-pumping, heart- pounding set of tense situations that knocked me on my arse.
No, the film isn't thought-provoking or philosophical. Gone is the original sense of awe and wonder that made the first film so fresh and cerebral. Yet the Wachowski Brothers end their series with non-stop CGI fun that was entertaining enough for this viewer to recommend "Revolutions" highly.
(7 out of 10)
P.S. Don't make another one... just leave it be now.
