Disappointing in some ways

Rating: 5/10 (11 November 2003)

Getting right to the point, I was rather disappointed in this final installment in the Matrix series. I loved the first two movies, the first because it was fresh, had a great premise, and amazing fight scenes. The second because of the questions it answered and the deepening mystery. The third just didn't do it for me.
Perhaps I was too hyped up about it. I expected the same amazing fight scenes from the first two, and got nearly none. There weren't really any more questions to answer in the third (I believe much of that had been done in Reloaded) yet everyone seemed to really talk...usually about nothing we didn't already know or hadn't already figured out.
Don't get me wrong...the effects are still visually amazing...I found the battle scenes within Zion exceptional and intense. I guess to me the story just crapped out in the end.
It's worth a see in the theater since we've all made it this far already. But don't expect a lot of action out of this one. Look for more dialogue and rehashing of what's already been said.
