so awful, I almost couldn't balance my checkbook

Rating: 1/10 (9 November 2003)

Revolutions was so boring, I took out my checkbook and began to deduct my debits from my current balance using my pocket flashlight to see--but somehow this terrible film kept distracting my work with such amazingly bad dialogue and pointless fight sequences (Merv's club? 10 minutes of wasted time; the train station? none of this advanced the story at all) that I forgot to carry the one, twice. How can I get my account in order when these characters keep talking about whether they believe Neo will succeed at whatever it is Neo is supposed to do that no one knows what it is including Neo?? So they talk and talk and no one wonders why there are no EMPs in Zion until a ship returns, and no one wonders how they're going to have enough ammunition to defeat the sentinels when it takes someone with a mortar and pestle 2-3 minutes to make one shell. Wow, now I need to transfer money from savings to cover that last check. I almost didn't catch that because it got really dark on screen with lots of rain and lots of Smith's; I hope Neo didn't get hurt because he needs to succeed at something or other, because so many people believe. Oh, forgot to deduct the atm charge...
