Cinematical disappointment of a lifetime

Rating: 5/10 (14 January 2004)

I am a huge Matrix 1 & 2 fan. I easily accepted Reloaded despite it's flaws (the cave-rave for example). Having read the reviews of Revolution I lowered my expectations considerably when I went to see it at the theaters. If the first film was a 10/10, the second 8/10, I now expected Revolutions to be a 4-5/10.
But what a letdown. I give Revolutions a 2/10 at the most. None of the things that made the first two movies worth while were there. All philosophy and suspense went straight out the window while The Brothers turned the movie into a pure action movie filled to the brim with every cliché the genre can muster.
Contrary to most people I would like to see a fourth installment in the series. This to correct all the silliness of Revolutions, to honorably end the saga.
Edit: February 2005. Having seen the movie again now on DVD over a year later, I feel that Revolutions is alright an SF-action movie I guess. I still think they could have made it much more compelling storywise. This time around I didn't wait for that ingenious twist in the story I was so much hoping for last year. For example that the "real" world was just another simulation or something. My new rating would be something like 5/10.
